3 places to visit for a relaxing staycation in the UK

Being the northernmost national park in England and covering an area of more than 1,050 square kilometres, Northumberland National Park is a great place to visit for your staycation. There are many national parks in the UK, but this one is one of the least populated and visited, which is surprising given how beautiful it is. It offers beautiful hills setting the border between England and Scotland, rolling moorland, and even Hadrian's Wall which dates back to Rome's occupation of Britain.

Le Petit Chateau & William de Percy is perfect for a relaxing staycation. Enjoy the cosy interiors and make the most of its exceptional location within the Park.

Off the coast of Scotland, the Isle of Arran is the seventh largest Scottish island and offers fantastic natural landscapes of hills, mountains, forests, rivers, and beaches. Famous for its particular geology that includes sills, dykes, and sedimentary rocks, the Isle of Arran is also a great place for walking, cycling and wildlife watching. Popular places for tourists include Brodick Castle, the Arran Distillery, the 12 hole Shiskine golf course, and the village of Lagg featuring a nudist beach that has been described as one of the quietest ones in the world.

We love the Auchrannie Resort for a peaceful stay with stunning views and a warm welcome.

In South West England, Exmoor is an area of hilly moorland and gave its name to the National Park that includes the Brendon Hills, the East Lyn Valley, the Vale of Porlock and the Bristol Channel coast. Thanks to its dramatic coastline and moorland scenery, Exmoor is a great place for sightseeing, walking, cycling and mountain biking. Popular attractions include the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, the coastal town named Porlock, Dunster Castle, and the historic harbour town of Watchet.

We highly recommend the Blue Ball Inn for a cosy and relaxing stay.
