Cotswolds, Arundel and around and the coast of Norfolk are our favourite places, any season

The North Yorkshire and Cleveland coast; Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Whitby, Runswick and Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes, Port Mulgrave, Scarborough. Proper traditional seaside resorts that take me back to my childhood. Shell hunting, fishing in rock pools, eating fish and chips and lemon top ice creams. Plenty of countryside and history to explore if you want to venture inland, plus the magnificent moors.

Penzance in Cornwall - lots of cute little rental cottages, welcoming locals, near beaches and lands end and easy to get to on the train. Can’t wait to go back!!

I have never gone there but I hear that is good place to visit or travel there. So I could short plane when I collect a list of attractive place to enjoy with my family.

I love the coast especially Dorset/Cornwall. In my mind it's not a proper Summer holiday without a beach as all my childhood holidays revolved around the beaches of North or West Wales.

Nodes Point on the Isle of Wight is just beautiful. There's an abandoned church on the beach and when we first visited over Easter a few years ago, we were surprised to see an outdoor, early-morning church service taking place there. It's within easy reach of Ryde and the popular seaside towns on the east coast of the island. The kids loved it and request to go back every year.

Bognor Regis I love their town centre and beach.

The Lake District- wild, walking, friendly, traditional so varied.

Cayton Bay, near to the amenities of Scarborough but away from its bustle, with one of the cleanest and most stunning beaches you will find anywhere

As a family we love going to West Wales particularly Ceredigion as I was brought up here and it is so beautiful. The beaches are beyond compare.

I love the East coast of Scotland, from the Borders upwards. There's lovely wee villages and bigger towns, but also big cities. Fantastic coastline views but also beautiful inland stretches, something for everyone.

One of our favourite places is the Parkdean site Nairn Lochloy. We can't wait to go back once Scottish Government opens swimming pools again. The beach is beautiful. White sands and turquoise water and there's a good play park in Nairn itself. We like to explore the area too and usually go to Inverness museum of flight where you can go inside the cockpit of old planes! We also spend a day at Landmark which is great fun! We've not had our annual visit to Lochloy yet but fingers crossed it's soon!

We (10 of us) go to Southerness a couple of times a year. Looked at booking again this year and found the prices are quite a bit higher and It appears that most of the facilities like the indoor pool, indoor play areas, the amusements and arcades are closed completely. Don't what's left really? The outdoor parks there are no great shakes. We've 4 bigger parks in a 1 mile radius from our house.

After having lost a few days holiday when the venue roof collapsed on our last visit I think we'll just drive down for day trips to the beach and chippy instead.

We love Cornwall. Anywhere around Padstow and Mawgan Porth is our favourite place to stay. Looking forward to going away next year! Another favourite place to visit is Arundel for the annual art trail.

Crail in particular and the whole East Neuk of Fife in general. Devine! The vast majority of the highlands of Scotland too.
As I live semi rural anyway, my guilty pleasure is actually a trip to London.

We absolutely love to visit Devon as it has plenty of beautiful countryside scenery and our favourite tourist attraction - the donkey sanctuary!

We love the Suffolk coastline. So many lovely little beaches along that stretch and then Great Yarmouth is not that far either.

To be honest we have had some lovely holidays in the UK.

The Peak District is another favourite. We would love to try the Lake District next.

Log cabins very near Loch Ness for Christmas!
Isle of Wright in September when the kids have returned to school.

The Forest of Dean is beautiful. My children love puzzle wood.

Norfolk is beautiful. We spend a lot of time enjoying the quiet sands of Holkham, Sea Palling and Wells-next-the-sea.

We also like to visit Ely and Kings Lynn and spend most weekends out on the River Ouse.

The North Yorkshire coast - Scarborough, Bridlington, Whitby. Gorgeous area, lots to do with kids and most places are dog friendly! We go on day trips every Summer and have a caravan holiday every October half term at Reighton Sands - it's my favourite place!

I love Kynance Cove in Cornwall. ...it has such amazing azure sea.
Scotland....the Highlands particularly is beautiful.

Dorset. Devon. Cornwall. Lakes. X

Devon is definitely a favourite for us, and worth the 6 hour drive.
Love the chilled out way of life, the beautiful scenery and the amazing family time we have there.
Always have to head over to The Milkyway park, mainly dog friendly children's park with rollercoasters!
Gorgeous beaches can easily spend whole days building sand castles and swimming in the warm seas.
Paignton seafront playpark is our little girl's favourite park in the whole world!
We have a 4 year old daughter who absolutely loves our UK holidays, and a 9 week old baby who we can't wait to share our holidays with
