School’s out for summer
It's that time of the year again folks. The kid's are out of school and it's holiday time!
Yep, it's official - the holiday's are here!
Obviously we're massive proponents of the Staycation here in the English Country Inns office, but we're keen on hearing where you're heading off to this summer? Perhaps a camping trip in France? Maybe a riad in Morocco?
Here in the London office, this blogger tends to his once-a-year holiday abroad in the winter months to avoid the British winter! In the summer months however I tend to sway towards the staycations, not just because it's easier, cheaper (with the exchange rates!) and quicker, but also because I have so much of the country to see!
If you're like me!
- Try some of our late availability deals for a last minute, affordable break this summer
- Try our weekend breaks in England page, just in case you don't have time for a full week or two away!
If you're not like me!
- Try some of the ferry deals over to France this summer - Sea France have some especially competitive offers at the moment for a car + 2 people
- If you're planning a "do it yourself" summer break, try Laterooms for hotel discounts
- Even if you're going away this summer, what about spending some time at home and trying one of our Christmas Breaks in England?

Escape the Sport!
The World Cup...Wimbledon...the 20/20...the Golf...the Rugby...which ever way you look at it there's a whole load of sport going on at the moment.
That looks painful...
Don't get us wrong; we love sport down in the English Country Inns office, but we also understand that getting away from it all can be just as enjoyable! With that in mind our Late Availability deals offer the best (and cheapest) option for a last minute break to the country. Alternatively you can try our Weekend Breaks page which feature offers directly from the inns and hotels themselves.
Also worth noting that is that we've just launched our Romantic Inns page - what better way of saying "Sorry for being slightly sidetracked during the World Cup" than treating your loved one to a short break away?
Finally, we'd love to hear from you whether you're loving or hating this summer of sport. Drop us a comment below or let us know via Twitter at @innsuk.
...now back to the Wimbledon.
