Last minute breaks
Forgot to plan a getaway? Great, we have just the place. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you decide on a Friday morning, and there is no need to overthink it when you can book today, pack tonight, and be somewhere completely different by tomorrow. Whether you are looking to switch off from work or just need a change of scenery, our last minute breaks are ready when you are.
Spontaneous getaways for everyone
If you have been promising the kids a trip away, there is no better time to make it happen than right now. Check out our last minute UK breaks for families to find a spot with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. If you are after something a bit more low-key, our last minute UK breaks for couples are perfect for a quick romantic escape where the only plan is to relax.
Where to head this weekend
Not sure where to go? Some of our favourite spots for a quick change of pace include the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and the wide open spaces of the Lake District. If you fancy a bit of city energy, Edinburgh is a brilliant choice for a short notice trip. For those who prefer a bit of fresh air, the Peak District and Yorkshire offer plenty of trails to explore. If you are dreaming of a coastal retreat, look towards Norfolk or Devon for a bit of sea air.
Why wait to book?
The beauty of a last minute trip is that you get to skip the months of anticipation and get straight to the good bit. You can bag a bargain on an off-season escape or take advantage of a cancellation to grab a place you might have missed out on otherwise. From dipping into a hot tub to finding a quiet corner in the countryside, your next weekend away is only a few clicks away. No plan? No problem. Just pick a spot, grab your bags, and head out the door.
