While the UK government still advises against non-essential travel, there are high hopes for a staycation in the country.

This means a trip to the coast or to the countryside may be possible with friends and families.

We've rounded up the best properties which are remote and have enough room for everyone.

With some starting from £16pp a night, here is where you should book - once the lockdown is over.
