The UK Is Your Oyster!
Britain's 6,000 miles of coastline offers visitors some of the most stunning beaches in the world, while the breathtaking countryside includes 14 national parks and 49 designated areas of outstanding natural beauty. Or what about a sightseeing tour of one of our many historical cities? Cycling holidays are an eco-friendly and enjoyable way to get about, says Isobel Lawrance from MoneyMagpie.com. While you'll need to travel light, you can either find camping sites or hostels en route or book a more structured holiday that includes accommodation and bike hire through websites like wheelywonderfulcycling.co.uk/
Do Your Research
With demand for staycations at an all-time high, be wary of scammers offering cheap deals on non-existent holiday homes. Check the 'owner's' profile, feedback and reviews, do a search on the property including photos (they could be lifted from other websites), ask detailed questions about location and check-in times, and don't be rushed into booking. Vague answers, unusually high deposits and bank transfer payments should set alarm bells ringing. Only ever pay via PayPal business or credit card. Report scams immediately to your bank and Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk).
