Short UK holidays & weekend breaks.
Escape, even if only for a few days.

Shortukbreak

When you’re surrounded by Cornwall’s coast, New Forest woodland or the Broads’ breathtaking beauty, just a little jaunt can feel like much longer.

We have six parks offering short holidays and weekend breaks.

Immerse in the awe-inspiring natural landscapes of the New Forest at Green Hill Farm. For seal spotting, cycling and walking the Norfolk Broads, Waxham Sands is open to tourers and campers.

Or, for a quintessential Great British getaway to Cornwall’s world-renowned coast and country, join us at Padstow, Parbola, Penmarlam or Sun Haven. If you’re a dog owner, it’s a pup’s paradise!

How do you prefer to get away? All of our parks have a range of amenities and accommodation options — pitch up, tour, cosy up in a static caravan, book a lodge or even glamp in style. We even have safari tents!

A couple of days can go a long way, so join us for a midweek adventure or weekend sojourn.

Rediscover the magic, nostalgia and excitement of a short staycation at one of our child and pet-friendly holiday parks.

When you arrive, be sure to ask our team members for a few food and drink recommendations — there’s no shortage of local pup-friendly pubs, restaurants and cosy taverns!

As well as being completely child-friendly, we welcome up to two well-behaved pets per booking. If you have any more, just check in with our team beforehand. Whilst we can’t make promises, it shouldn’t be an issue!

Let’s write your weekend adventure.

Whichever park you join us at, you’ll never be stuck for things to do, sights to see and scrumptious food to savour.

Despite its small size, Cornwall boasts Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, as well as Flambards Theme Park, the Eden Project, Newquay Zoo and Prideaux Place — to name just a few! Don't forget an evening of sumptuous seafood at one of Rick Stein's restaurants!

Beaulieu and its National Motor Museum is a sure-fire recommendation for a flavour of the New Forest’s picture-postcard villages, whilst Peppa Pig World is sure to excite the little ones. For a spot of seaside fun, head to the colourful Georgian port of Lymington. For city slicking and history, Salisbury is just up the road, too.

Then, in Norfolk, if you’re not honing your boat skills on the Broads, there’s the undeniable seaside fun of Great Yarmouth and its Pleasure Beach. For a low-key day trip, the Museum of the Broads and Thrigby Hall Museum Gardens are more than worth a visit.

Whether it’s traditional Cornish bouillabaisse, a homemade delicacy in a Wiltshire village pubs or that sip of ale from Norfolk’s famous Woodforde’s Brewery, these locations are food and drink heaven.
