If you’re planning a holiday in the UK, there’s a secret many seasoned travellers know: off-peak
travel is the way to go! While summer may get all the attention, taking a trip during the quieter
months of November to March can unlock a whole new side to the UK. Here’s why off-peak
holidays might just be the best decision you make.
1. Fewer crowds, more space
One of the biggest advantages of off-peak holidays is the ability to explore popular attractions
without being jostled by crowds. Iconic attractions like The World of Beatrix Potter tend to be
packed during summer. But in the off-peak months, you can take in these iconic spots at your
own pace, snapping photos and soaking up the atmosphere in peace. Imagine a relaxed walk
through the Lake District—an experience you’ll rarely find during the busy holiday season.
2. Lower costs on accommodation and travel
Peak season often comes with peak prices. Travelling during off-peak months—such as
autumn, winter, or early spring—often means you can find significantly cheaper deals on public
transport. We also offer an Early Bird Discount when you book your stay 26 weeks or more
in advance of your arrival date, unlocking an exclusive £50 discount, making your stay with
us even sweeter.
3. Seasonal beauty and unique experiences
The UK’s landscape transforms with the seasons, and travelling off-peak allows you to see
some of the country’s most magical sights. In autumn, the forests and woodlands glow with
stunning gold and red foliage, perfect for scenic drives or hikes. Winter brings cosy nights by the
fire in our charming self-catering properties, crisp, frosty mornings, and festive Christmas
markets in cities like Kendal and Lancaster. Each season has its charm, offering unique views
and activities that simply aren’t available in the height of summer.
4. A Slower pace of life
Holidays are meant to be relaxing, but peak-season travel can often feel like a whirlwind of
queues, crowded streets, and reservations. Travelling off-peak allows for a more leisurely, slow-
paced experience. Cafés, restaurants, and pubs are quieter, meaning you can enjoy your meals
without rushing, and getting reservations at sought-after eateries becomes far easier. You can
also explore hidden gems—those lesser-known towns and villages—at your own rhythm,
without feeling the pressure of a packed itinerary.
While summer holidays might seem like the obvious choice, off-peak travel offers a range of
benefits that can make your stay at Brackenthwaite Farm even more special. From fewer
crowds and lower costs to the beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere, the advantages are
hard to beat.
So, if you’re planning your next getaway, consider booking outside of peak season—you might
just discover a whole new way to enjoy the country!
