So who's booking a UK summer holiday this year?

[Twixmasdilema]

Can't cope with the uncertainty of another foreign holiday being cancelled so are staying in the UK again this summer. If the media is to believed; demand is very high so am trying to get something booked asap. Have been trawling various cottage sites and there does seem to be quite a lot booked up for August already. Our favoured areas are Northumberland or perhaps the lakes (found 1 place on the Cumbrian coast which would cover both beach & lakes so am tempted). Anyone else? What companies and areas are you trying? Have tried cottages.com, Northumbria Coast & Country & Sykes so far and am getting myself confused!

Booked a week in the West Country during the school summer recess.

Did similar last year pre-COVID as we usually book up every January.

Kicked last year's booking to this July in Cornwall.

Just booking May half term, not sure where though

@louisejxxx

We’re booked for butlins in Skegness at the end of august (not a very mumsnet thing to do, I’m sure)

The seal sanctuary in skeggy is fabulous!

booked week in Devon for august. .booked it last autumn..I feel confident. .but it is re bookable refundable if necessary.

We have a cottage in Wales booked in August, and will probably camp for a week as well but haven't booked anything

I want to book something. Can anywhere suggest somewhere good for a 1 yr old who has never left her county

I have two Lake District breaks booked for June and August. Fully refundable if we can't go.

I'd highly recommend Sally's Cottages in Keswick, mainly covers the North Lake District.

Somewhere within 2 hours drive, depending on how close she is to two id Go to the seaside if poss

Desperately hoping May is ok as we have two nights at l'Enclume booked for DH's 40th but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

Will book a summer break at the coast for this summer but with a company we know will allow us to move to holiday if restrictions are in place. I'd rather do that in the slight hope we can get away than be bitter that we didn't if restrictions allow it

I've got 2 booked that were cancelled last year! One at Easter and one at the end of August that I moved from last October half-term.

I'm not optimistic about the Easter one but I'm hopeful for the August one.

However I'm not necessarily looking forward to it as we went away last August and everywhere was hideously busy because no one was going abroad and it really spoiled it. We never go abroad as we love UK holidays so I was a bit miffed.

I booked a cheapy break through the sun holidays for July and I've never been more excited for a holiday!

I shan’t book a full holiday as most places will be rammed, might manage a few weekends at short notice. I’m flexible enough to take advantage of late cancellations.

or Broadstairs. ..depends where you are. .You don't want too long a journey

I’ve booked Cornwall for first week in August, crazy money!!

Have a week in Suffolk for Easter too but not sure that one will go ahead......

Places for both didn’t have much availability at all

I’ve had a look but prices are higher than previous years so assuming it must be because of higher demand. I’m not sure if we can afford to pay the higher prices, really disappointed as like many others, we could really use the break, and previous years we’ve enjoyed fab holidays in Devon and Cornwall.

We are lucky to own a touring caravan on a permanent pitch in Cornwall. So the moment our very small site opens, we will be going.

Last year the owner didn't accept any extra bookings, only permanent pitches were open. It was blissful.

We've booked a week at our favourite place in the Lake District for autumn half term.

I am hugely optimistic and fully expect to be in the pub for May Bank Holiday!

I live in NI and have an air b&b booked in ROI for a week on the summer. I really hope we can go.

Booked it a couple of months ago and thought the cost was reasonable. Cleaning fee is obviously higher.

@QuantumQuality

Prices seem a lot higher for what’s available. We also like Northumberland coast and lots of where we normally look is booked or what’s left isn’t as nice.

Yes I'm struggling to find something decent but not £££, we normally stay in Beadnall but I've seen a couple of air bnb's in Belford which are reasonable so might end up booking one of those.

Yep we've booked 5 holidays this year all in our caravan. Can cancel with 72 hours notice if we can't go for whatever reason.

We booked for this summer in autumn last year. A week in Whitby.

Lovely place we have stayed in before, within walking distance of the town and on the riverside.

Even if all the pubs and restaurants are still closed, I am hopeful we can still wander around and drink gin while watching the world go by😎

No way, not booking anything!

We have booked a week in Cornwall for August really needed something to look forward to

For Northumberland, Coquet Cottages are hard to beat: coquetcottages.co.uk

4 nights booked in a cottage - Norfolk. End of July. Wouldn't dream of booking a holiday abroad though! Our booking is through air bnb and can cancel up until a week before.

We booked a holiday on the beach in Cornwall on the way home from our Norfolk holiday last year! It was so lovely and things so uncertain we decided to stick to UK again. Also got some camping booked. Have
Holland booked for Easter and Lapland for December - am guessing Holland may have to be rebooked but hope to do it in October half term.
