No sooner does Easter disappear from view, do
we see another half term on the horizon and, as always, keeping the kids
entertained for the duration will ensure that stress won’t rear its ugly head.
For most schools across the country, half term this year falls at the end of
the month, between the 27th and the 31st May and, with
warm summer weather expected, it’d be a perfect time to head for the seaside.
Whether you decide to stay on the coast over
the Bank Holiday weekend or you choose to escape with the kids for the whole
week, there are plenty of resorts across the UK that would make a perfect stay.
Travelodge
offers budget accommodation in Brighton, Blackpool and beyond, meaning
wherever you choose to go, you don’t need to worry about spending over the odds
on hotels.
Pack your suitcase and your bucket and spade
and keep your fingers crossed for good weather. Take your pick from some of the
great budget hotels by the sea in one of our quintessentially British seaside
resorts.
Brighton
One of the most charming seaside resorts in
the UK, it can be found on the south coast of England and offers a high chance
of sunshine due to its locality. Bursting with traditional elements, from Punch
and Judy shows to donkey rides, there’s plenty to keep the kids occupied here.
Whether it’s chilling on the beach or heading for the Pier to spend your
pennies in the amusement arcades, there’s something for everyone.
Blackpool
The Lancashire equivalent of Brighton,
Blackpool is positively oozing with family-friendly attractions. From the
macabre delights of the Blackpool
Dungeons to the adrenaline-packed rides at the Pleasure Beach, people of
all ages will love a trip to this vibrant seaside. If the skies open, don’t be
glum – there’s plenty to see and do both indoors and out.
Minehead
Head for the south west coast and enjoy a
stay in north of Devon to guarantee an unforgettable trip. Full of class and
elegance, Minehead is a traditional seaside retreat in the heart of a beautiful
area of the country. From Exmoor national park to Dunster Castle, you can fill
your days with activities that will keep even the most fidgety of kids
entertained.
Llandudno
Head across the border to Wales for a classic
seaside holiday. As the largest resort in Wales, you can be sure to find plenty
of things to fill your itinerary. Take a ride on Britain’s only cable hauled
tramway or take a trip to Conwy Castle
for a little heritage infusion.
Southport
If you want a seaside retreat without the
hustle and bustle of Blackpool, you can enjoy a quieter sojourn in Southport,
just a short distance away. While it is a much more subdued break, you can
still enjoy a great few days in the town, including superb shopping
opportunities, a waterpark, miniature railway and a free fairground.
Book your family trip today before the
accommodation fills up and enjoy a budget break by the sea this May half term.
Quality time with your family is few and far between – make the most of it when
you can.

Very useful post!
Thanks!
Wonderful resort with some truly exceptional staff and rooms, this was the second of our 3 resorts in the Maldives, we were greeted at Male Airport where the John staff were kind enough to help with some damaged baggage and then take us onto the lounge where we received complimentary massages!
