Cheap UK holidays in April & May – now that staycations can start in the spring

SELF-CONTAINED holiday lets can be booked for those staying with their own household from April 12.

Interest is expected to surge in self-contained breaks following the announcement, with pent up demand from millions of Brits who've been banned from all travel since the beginning of the year.

From April 12 people from the same household will be able to book self-contained holiday lets such as holiday homes.

From May 17, hotels are allowed to reopen and holiday homes can be let to groups of up to six people from different households or groups from two households with no cap on size.

From June 21, holiday homes can be let to groups of all sizes.

Trips have been banned in all parts of the country since January 4, when the country went into a third national lockdown.

However, dates for the relaxation of rules are not set in stone. Holidays will only happen on the condition that coronavirus cases continue to fall and vaccines still roll out at pace. 

For those who want to book a break as soon as possible, there are some great deals on breaks in April & May:

• Haven Spring three-night breaks
• Park Holidays UK Spring breaks  
• Snaptrip three-night near a beach cottage Spring breaks
• Sykes Cottages three-night spring breaks
• Pontins spring breaks  
• Forest Holidays three-night spring breaks with hot-tubs stays available
• Away Resorts Spring breaks  
• Shorefield Spring short breaks

There are discounts to a number of popular destinations throughout England.

Back in January The Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Brits should be able to enjoy a "happy and free Great British summer" once most adults have received the Covid jab.

And despite the restrictions, a number of Brits booked holidays in the UK earlier in the year.
