Staycations are the perfect solution for getting away for family fun this Easter without getting on a flight. Easter staycations take away all the stress of holiday travel – plan your route, get in the car or hop on a train and go.
Coastal Fun in Cornwall
Cornwall is the ultimate seaside getaway. It boasts golden beaches, stunning cliffs, and plenty of child-friendly attractions, such as the Eden Project and Newquay Zoo.
Tresslick Gardens is hosting an Easter egg hunt this year, allowing your kids to explore and look for clues in a picturesque National Trust property. For more Easter-themed activities, head over to Padstow for egg rolling.
You and your partner can unwind while the kids enjoy rock pooling, building sandcastles, or even surfing if they feel brave! A stay in a holiday park, which offers kid-friendly pools and on-site restaurants, is another good choice.
Action-Packed Fun at a UK Holiday Park
Plenty of holiday parks around the country can provide an all-in-one Easter break experience. Holiday parks offer kid’s entertainment, live shows, pools, and outdoor adventures to keep the kids entertained. Many also run Easter egg hunts and family games to get everyone involved.
You could stay in family-friendly caravans, lodges, or chalets that provide activities for all ages. There are even treehouses with self-catering and hot tubs within walking distance of stunning country trails.
Outdoor Adventures in the Lake District
The Lake District’s dramatic peaks and valleys have long been well-known to hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Recently, it’s become a popular staycation destination, with Spring being a great time to visit before peak-season crowds arrive.
Set up base in Windemere for easy access to scenic boat trips on the lake and family-friendly hiking trails. Pick a cosy cottage or lodge and let the kids take off steam while you enjoy breathtaking views.
Magical City Break in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a fantastic choice, offering a mix of history and fun. Explore Edinburgh Castle on Castle Rock and its over 900-year history, or take the kids to the Dynamic Earth Science Centre, Scotland’s largest interactive visitor attraction.
There’ll be plenty of Easter fun this year in Edinburgh, with artist courses for 9-12-year-olds, camps at St George’s School, and egg trails at Newhailes House and Gardens. If you’re wondering where to stay, why not choose a serviced apartment in the heart of the city? You’ll benefit from the extra space and a great location.
A Peaceful Countryside Retreat in the Cotswold
For a slower-paced Easter, the Cotswold offer charming honey-hued villages and farm visits where kids can feed baby lambs and other animals. This vast area has almost 800 square miles of ancient woodlands, lake-land regions, and country houses. An Easter egg hunt in a historic manor garden will create special memories during your staycation.
If you’re a family of animal lovers, the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens has over 260 animal species, including rhinos grazing in front of a grand Georgian-Gothic manor house.
Pick a self-catered cottage to take the stress out of your trip and focus on relaxing with your family this Easter.
