Reviews of UK holidays and breaks

A perennially popular choice for family holidays and breaks, the UK remains as attractive an option as ever, with the benefit of minimal travel costs. Our family travel experts, many of whom live or repeatedly holiday in the places they write about, have got the UK covered, whether it's child-friendly self-catering properties, from cottages to standard or luxurious tents or farmstays, or welcoming country-house hotels where the kids get their own amenities including play areas and activity programs. We also bring to you a range of city-break write-ups showcasing the best of urban Britain when it comes to families, and reviews of family breaks in some of the country's classic seaside resorts.
