Staycation ideas

The Morecambe area is lovely, and close to the Lake District too.
Beware the Morecambe tides, though. They can cut you off so easily as they gallop in through the gullies.

Depends how far you want to travel. We are going to Somerset little village called Keighton mandeville we’ve got lovely Airbnb by a stream. 25 mins from Beach and 45 mins from Bath ideal spot for us. We didn’t want right on beach after seeing the crowds there few weeks back. Enjoy where ever you choose.

My favourite is Bridport ( think Broadchurch). Lovely shops and a real market. A short drive from Lyme Regis. Alternatively, the Suffolk coast - Aldeburgh has great hotels and Southwold is like going back in time to the 5os with Woodbridge nearby

Oh No Dancinggran another one who has found us and is giving the secret away. It's all coal mines and mills up north you know.

You may have problems finding anywhere with rooms on the sea front for early- mid September.
My husband works for himself and so is not tied to particular days etc. but I gave up looking for accommodation overlooking the sea/beach/harbour anywhere. Depends what you are looking for of course but you best get a move on!. Last week of September would have been easy but we didn't want to chance the weather that late in the year.

Lucca Ssh about Bamburgh and Holy Island we don't want everyone to know!

I've just had a holiday in the North East for the first time, what a beautiful coast, scenery and amazing beaches. I will be going back.

Devon is heaven!

<pedant> A ‘staycation’ is when you actually stay at home during the holiday period. </pedant>

Salcombe is lovely at this time of year - just about perfect for a week’s break. If you want to go a bit further west, Fowey is delightful.

I always thought that geekesse but everyone including hotels are using it to mean staying in the UK. I holiday in the UK and abroad (well I did! ) and if I went nowhere but had time of from work it was a staycation.

My aunt had a holiday home in Sidmouth and I had some lovely holidays there. Lovely beaches, lots of places of interest to visit. Not too far from Dartmoor, Castle Drogo is a must. Pretty little town with good shops and eateries, and in the surrounding countryside.

Bamburgh. Robin Hoods Bay.

Depends where the OP Lives and how far they want to travel

I love the New Forest area, as there are so many different and varied places to go, within an hour max. Coast nearby, Milford on Sea etc. So much going on around there.

You may struggle to find somewhere as once the schools are back, lots of retired people will have booked to go away, especially if they have been shielding so far. So I suggest not being too precise where you go, allowing plenty of options,

Try the Suffolk coast.

Some lovely hotels in Aldeburgh.

When we lived near the New Forest I always thought that going to the Isle of Wight With my parents on the ferry was going abroad!
The weather is usually marginally better down there too.
We usually go to Cornwall because DD2 and the Grandchildren live there.
Sidmouth is good for hotels, nice little shops and plenty of places to drive to see, or of course Lyme Regis is a favourite.
