Sometimes, the best holiday doesn’t need a boarding pass. There’s a lot to love about heading abroad, but when you only have a few days to play with, airport queues, baggage limits and transfers can quickly eat into your escape. That’s why a UK staycation makes so much sense.

Pack a bag, jump on a train or in the car and you could be exploring somewhere completely different by lunchtime. And with summer still going strong, there’s plenty of time for one more adventure.


Less travelling. More holidaying.

A two-night break shouldn’t require military-level planning. Staying in the UK means you can spend less time getting there and more time actually enjoying yourself. Finish work, grab your bag and go.

Manchester for the food and nightlife. Edinburgh for history and culture. Newcastle for a night out and a wander along the Quayside. Chester for something a little slower. Or Leeds, Nottingham and London for everything from big events to brilliant places to eat and drink. Sometimes, the best places to explore are closer than you think.

48 hours can feel like a proper holiday

A couple of nights somewhere new can be just what you need. Explore somewhere you’ve never been. Book the restaurant that’s been sitting in your saved folder for months. Catch a show. Find a sunny beer garden. Have a lie-in. And because you haven’t spent half the trip travelling, you can squeeze a surprising amount into one weekend.


Stay your way

Of course, where you stay matters too. At Roomzzz Aparthotels, you get the comfort and convenience of a hotel with the freedom and space of an apartment. Your own fully equipped kitchen means breakfast whenever you fancy it, somewhere to keep the drinks cold and a place for those inevitable late-night snacks.

There’s space to properly relax, city-centre locations that put you close to the action and the freedom to make your stay exactly what you want it to be. Eat out. Eat in. Stay up late. Have a lazy morning. It’s your break.

If you’re already wondering where summer went, consider this your reminder: there’s still time for another escape. You don’t need a week off, an airport or months of planning. Pick a city. Pack a bag. Make a weekend of it. And when you get there? Roomzzz has room for you.

Discover Roomzzz Aparthotels across the UK and make your next staycation one worth staying for.
