Budget breaks
Lancashire Great for staying on budget, self-catering allows you to travel as a family or large group and make sure even picky eaters are satisfied.
Select a traditional Lancashire cottage such as those nestled in the hamlet of Carr Bank, where you can explore the welcoming wilds of Lancashire.
Alternatively, try something modern with the St Annes Beach Apartments; a bespoke self-catering property near a Victorian pier and picturesque Lytham. For something different try the Golden Ball Hotel Camping Pods, which are pod-shaped cabins in the luxury grounds of the Morecambe hotel’s elevated paddock. North Yorkshire Experience a more fashionable camping break with glamping at Humble Bee Farm. This child-friendly farm is a great break for getting close to nature.
Children will enjoy the company of two pigmy goats, along with sheep and cattle, ducks and chickens.
They can head down to collect fresh eggs for breakfast in the morning and enjoy various themed weekends on site too.
Take your own tent to pitch or you can try the heated wigwams and bell tents or the brand new nomadic yurts. Hampshire The Dairy Cottage in Ibsley is a chocolate-box thatched cottage with all the character you could ask for.
Restored to its former glory after a fire, the cottage now has solar heating alongside its exposed beams, merging the best of old and new. Bring your bikes along to explore the sprawling countryside all around the cottage.
You can also join the New Forest Bus Tour which will take you through New Forest Centre if you want to explore beneath the trees, or to the Longdown Activity Farm and the New Forest Wildlife Park for some natural activities.
