This collection of short breaks in the UK offers a fantastic escape to a variety of UK destinations; whether it's a city break in a vibrant location steeped in history, a weekend getaway set in picturesque rolling countryside or a romantic two-night stay by the sea, you can explore the delights of the UK from the comfort of one of these short break holiday cottages.
Why Weekend Breaks?
Weekend breaks provide you with something to look forward to, all without the need to negotiate time off from work. Spend leisurely Sundays hiking through the UK's untamed landscapes, retreat to the seaside to recharge after a busy week or find solace in a rural village.
Short breaks are ideal for any occasion! Whether you’re a family in search of adventurous fun near a national park, a group of friends seeking relaxation in a lodge with a hot tub or a couple yearning for a romantic getaway. Choose two-night or three-night stays - whatever takes your fancy!
Places to visit during your Short Break
There are so many wonderful locations to uncover; why not savour a weekend break in Scotland? Amazing sights, a wealth of outdoor activities and historic attractions are just a few highlights here. For even more outdoor fun during your weekend break, we recommend booking a short break in North Wales or a short break in the Lake District.

Types of Short Breaks & Weekend Breaks
Want to treat your loved one to a special weekend break? We recommend browsing this hand-picked selection of romantic weekend getaways. Alternatively, enjoy a long weekend away with those who mean most by choosing a bank holiday weekend cottage. If you prefer a secluded holiday, you should explore this array of log cabin weekend breaks or weekend caravan breaks.
Browse these cottages for 2-night stays for your next short break, or if you fancy exploring a new place at a slightly quieter time, these midweek breaks will be ideal. If you're looking for a late deal, these last-minute cottages will be ideal.
However, if you want to enjoy a short break during the festive period, these Christmas and New Year short breaks are the perfect choice. Alternatively, get even more out of winter by enjoying a winter short break. If you’d prefer short getaways at a warmer time of year, perhaps these autumn short breaks are a better choice.
Can’t decide? Check out this broad range of self-catering UK holiday cottages to find the ideal property for you. Book ahead and secure your 2025 break now!
