Picking your PERFECT place to stay
suffolk Glamping
THE Suffolk seaside is a real treat, packed with pretty beaches, quirky high streets and fish and chips that’ll have you coming back again and again. Stay inland at Easton Farm park near Wickham Market and you’ll have the choice of camping, cottages or cow sheds (by which we mean sheds that look like cows). eastonfarmpark.co.uk
Glasgow City break
When it comes to city breaks in Scotland, people usually flock to Edinburgh, but how about trying Glasgow instead? It’s got impressive architecture, a friendly feel and loads of attractions. Round off your day by booking a table at West’s new Beer Field (westbeer.com) for a “crafty” drink and a pizza. Stay at historic gem Cathedral House – a boutique hotel with great service. cathedralhouseglasgow.com
CAMPING in THE Midlands
The kids have been cooped up for months, so a family camping trip is the ideal way to get some fresh air and let off steam. Head to the heart of England and pitch up at Cuckoo Farm Campsite in Rutland, home to birdsong, seclusion and the River Chater. coolcamping.com

Regent Bay holiday park is ideal for a family staycation. Spend the day at the sandy beach, relax in your caravan or explore further afield, with the Lake District and Blackpool both within an hour’s drive. parkdeanresorts.co.uk

Traffic noise is replaced by birdsong at the secluded Hidden Valley Yurts in Monmouthshire, which have reopened with a reduced number of visitors making them even more tranquil. Enjoy stargazing and long walks in 80 acres of gorgeous green space. hiddenvalleyyurts.co.uk
