de-stress holidays
- holidays
It takes around three days for the average person to fully switch off on holiday.
And with limited time, finding ways to relax and unwind immediately is crucial. This is why staycations are so popular, compared to going abroad they take less time to organise and usually you can relax as soon as you’ve stepped foot into your accommodation. There are many ways that you can de-stress and switch off during a staycation and we have plenty of resorts to cater for all different needs. Whether that be being at one with nature in the glorious British countryside, indulging in a relaxing treatment or two at one of our spas, or simply watching the world go by along the coast.
