Weekend breaks
Plan your next big adventure with a weekend break in the UK. With quirky accommodation and exciting family-friendly activities, England is packed with memorable weekend breaks, whether you're planning for a standard two day trip or a bank holiday weekend. Alternatively you can indulge yourself at the 4 star, 19th century Ardencote Manor Hotel, with its spa and romantic atmosphere making it perfect for couples. You can get close to nature with a camping trip in Nottingham to the National Water Sports Centre, and wake up to a day of water skiing or white water rafting. There’s also glamping for campers who like to step up their camping power; stay in a themed wigwam at Warwick Castle and camp like medieval royalty!
