  If you haven’t booked your May half term break yet, don’t worry, as there is still plenty of action-packed or quiet and relaxed breaks available for you to choose from.

  Visit the miles and miles of beautiful coastline that the South West has to offer, where you can enjoy sandcastle competitions, surfing and a wide range of watersports. Or for a more relaxed break, head to the Cotswolds; the essence of everything British. Hire push bikes and explore the beautifully preserved, charming towns and villages. Or don your hiking boots and take to the wild moorlands of the Peak District, taking time out to visit one of the many theme parks in the area to keep the kids entertained!

  Whether it’s for the full week or just a short stay, for the whole family or just the two of you, there is something for everyone. Why not book one of the larger properties and get away as a group?
