Over the last 18 years of our travelling, we have found ways to look for cheap flight tickets and score the best accommodations. We have also made mistakes in this journey while experimenting with various sites and bookings. And we absolutely understand how physically enduring it can be to look through hundreds of sites to plan before taking off on your dream holidays.
We want to simplify the planning process for you and help you look through the right choice of resources, thus saving your time – be it choosing flights, accommodations, booking tours and activities, arranging travel insurance, car hires, choosing right tech gears, appropriate clothing and anything in between.
So, we have put together this simple guide. We have included the websites and travel companies that we personally use or have used in the past. We absolutely don’t recommend products and services that we don’t use or don’t know how it works.
Top UK Holiday Resources
Are you looking for best UK holidays? Check out our favourite resources below:
Family friendly Caravan holidays
Caravan holidays are perfect for family getaways – whether for 4 nights or a week during school term holidays. We’ve been on many and have genuinely enjoyed every stay. They offer great flexibility, are family friendly and pocket friendly, offering fantastic entertainment options. With activities for both kids and adults, there’s always something to do, making each trip relaxing, fun and full of memorable moments together. My kids love their morning art and crafts, treasure hunts, swimming pool and evening kids dance. We love our Bingo time and live shows.
Self Catering Holiday Cottages
Large cottages offer more space, comfort, garden, and gives you a feel of home away from home. We have stayed in many cottages within UK when we travel in large groups with extended family or friends.

Booking the best experiences
We spend so much time looking through the experiences and tours when we travel, for these are the ones that enrich our experience. Be it the popular hop-on-hop-off tours, walking tours, or unique experiences, we always pre-book tours to avoid missing them out due to demand.
Our preferred choices have always been Get Your Guide and Viator. There are 1000s of options to choose from and the booking process is very easy and hassle free. Sometimes Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours works well for the bigger cities where you have limited time. Check out our personal recommendations based on the tours we’ve experienced below.
Last but not lease – Travel Insurance!
When it comes to taking the right travel insurance, we never take second chances. Our go-to source is always World Nomads. Simple, flexible and most reliable – all in one!
