Whisper it – if all goes to plan, we are less than a month from the return of holidays in England.
There s a catch, of course. Assuming we stick to the roadmap, from April 12 you will indeed be able to visit a self-catering accommodation of your choosing, so long as you go with your household or bubble . So no big group getaways, quite yet.
One balloon bursts and another rises into the sky. Yes, Boris’s ‘red list’ of quarantine countries has put a halt to many families’ hopes of an Easter getaway, but that opens the door wide for holidays within the UK once the shackles are off.
With tens of thousands of gorgeous cottages, country boltholes and seaside villas to choose from, it’s the perfect opportunity to make the most of everything Britain has to offer whether you’re escaping as a family, or planning a romantic retreat.
The only trouble is that everyone has had the same idea, with this week seeing a steep rise in the number of bookings.
