A UK staycation can be great value, with no flights, no passport queues and plenty of beautiful places to stay. Hoseasons is a long-running UK brand for holiday lodges, cottages, boating holidays and holiday parks. Here’s how to make it affordable.

Go short, mid-week

Short breaks starting on a Monday or Friday are common, and mid-week stays are often cheaper than weekends.

Share with a bigger group

A large lodge or cottage shared between two families can cost less per person than hotel rooms, and you can cook your own meals.

Travel outside school holidays

Prices for family-friendly parks rise sharply in school holidays. If you can, choose term-time or shoulder season.

Look beyond the famous spots

The Lake District, Cornwall and the Cotswolds are popular and priced accordingly. Areas like Northumberland, Dumfries and Galloway, Wales or Norfolk can offer better value.

Check what’s included

Hot tubs, Wi-Fi, linen, pets and on-site facilities can all affect the price. Compare total costs, not just headline rates.

Bring food and plan free activities

Self-catering, walks, beaches and national parks keep spending low without missing out.

Quick FAQ
