You should research your holiday fully before you book
Holidays in the UK can be more expensive, but it can be nice to not have to worry about the cost of flights and airport transfers, which is why some people do choose to holiday at home.
However, holidays abroad can be a much more exciting experience and the weather abroad is something the UK often fails to compete with.
