Holiday Homes Right on the Beach Uk
It's not too late to book a seaside escape in one of the UK's top-rated beach towns. From big family get-togethers to cosy couples' retreats, we've rounded up eight holiday homes which are right on the seafront and available this summer.
There's something unique about a beach holiday in the UK which you'll struggle to recreate abroad. Eating fish and chips in the crisp, salty air on the seafront (and getting chased by seagulls), buying sticks of rock to take home and rock-pooling are all part of British seaside tradition . So despite international travel being easier in 2022, we wouldn't blame you for wanting to pack up the car and take in the beautiful coastlines closer to home.
In a survey to find the best beach towns in the UK, we asked 4,061 Which? readers to rate nearly 100 UK coastal resorts out of five for beaches, attractions, scenery, peace and quiet, and value for money. The below stays are all in locations which scored at least 70% overall and between three and five stars for beaches.
These stays are all listed with companies which were rated highly by Which? readers in our survey of the best and worst cottage holiday companies and who treated customers well during the pandemic.
