Short Breaks & Holidays for Families in the UK

The UK is bursting with short-break options with kids, whether it be family-friendly hotels in London or cosy country cottages, some with games rooms and/or swimming pools, plus baby/toddler equipment if required.

Family short breaks and weekends away are a great means of escaping from routine between longer holidays without having to travel too far or spend a lot of money. We’ve brought together our favourite short-break destinations in the UK with children of all ages, with country-house hotels and seaside and lake retreats in holiday hotspots including Cornwall, Devon and the Lake District and city breaks in London and elsewhere.
