Top apartments for a UK holiday

You don't have to jet off around the world to experience that special holiday feeling - staycations are where it’s at right now. England has gorgeous golden beaches that seem to stretch on for miles, beautiful countryside waiting to be explored and cities bursting with heritage and culture. This together with the current restrictions and uncertainty over travel, makes staycation breaks particularly appealing this year.

Many English leisure facilities and tourist attractions are now reopening if they can do so safely, including outdoor gyms and playgrounds, cinemas, museums, galleries and theme parks. And new social distancing and hygiene measures are in place to make sure visits are safe and welcoming.

Have you considered the many benefits of staying in a serviced apartment for your next holiday or mini-break? They offer a private, flexible and self-contained retreat like a villa or holiday home and yet also provide guests with hotel-like amenities such as cleaning, maintenance and staffed service in order to make a holiday more comfortable and supported. If you're new to serviced apartments and what they offer, find out more here.

Guests can choose between one bedroom or two bedroom apartments; the golden beaches are a few minutes’ walk away (although please check local news and steer away from anywhere too crowded, especially in the current climate) and nearby attractions include historic sites, nature reserves and ancient forests.

A nearby bustling coastal city is Southampton, famed for its award-winning parks, open water activities and twelfth-century city stone walls.
