Our Guide To 3 Night UK Break Packages
A couple of days away can be just what the doctor ordered to escape, unwind, let your hair down or simply spend quality time with friends, and 3 night breaks in the UK is just enough time to do that. Whether you fancy an adults only break with entertainment on the south coast of Devon, a family weekend escape to a castle in the Highlands of Scotland, or a dog friendly woodland break with a hot tub, 3 nights gives you time to settle in, enjoy your accommodation, and explore the local area. And although we're looking at the UK here, take a look at a three night holiday abroad too, with city breaks and beach holidays a great option to look at too in 2025 or 2026.

Hotels In The UK You Don't Want To Miss
Family Friendly Breaks
Escaping with loved ones is such an amazing way to spend a weekend, so 3 night family breaks can be the ideal way to spend time together without having to spend a fortune. Holiday parks like Haven and Butlins offer so many family friendly activities like swimming pools with waterslides, playgrounds and many have beachfront locations in Devon and Cornwall too.
Woodland breaks can also be a great option for not only children but all the family, with places like Center Parcs or Forest Holidays offering villas and lakeside lodges in stunning locations like the Lake District, Norfolk and Wales. Some locations have a wealth of great activities for the kids, or you can make up your own, from forest treasure hunts to woodland bike rides.
Last Minute Deals
If you've left it late, or you've had a tough month and just need a short break, last minute three night breaks can be the welcome relief we all need. Hotels hate to see their rooms go empty so may offer big discounts to help fill rooms. But it's best to be flexible where you can as this will open up so many more options for where to stay and what's on offer. For example, a last minute hotel break in Edinburgh might be more expensive than Newcastle or York, simply because a sports event or concert is on in the city (filling up rooms). Check out companies like Secret Escapes, lastminute.com and Luxury Escapes for some of the best last minute hotel breaks.
Theatre & Activity Breaks
You might like the idea of just enjoying the hotel you've booked but theatre breaks and activity breaks can add that extra sense of fun to your 3 night break. Whether you choose to hit the West End shows of London on a city break, or head up to Scotland for some mountaineering or kayaking, adding extra activities into your short break. Great companies to look at for 3 night stays with activities include Great Little Breaks and Forest Holidays.
Spa Breaks
A 3 night spa break allows you to settle in, unwind, and treat yourself to both a relaxing beauty treatment or two and spend some time using the spa facilities each day. Many spa hotels offer three night spa packages that include full english breakfast, treatments, spa access, and sometimes even dinner or a restaurant credit. Shop around and look at companies like Secret Escapes and Spabreaks.com, as well as checking out the hotel website directly if you already know where you want to stay.
Golf Breaks
Golf breaks in the UK are perfect for the golf fan, but spa and golf breaks can be the ideal compromise if not everyone is a fan. Many golf resorts like East Sussex National Golf Resort and Spa in the south of England, The Belfry in the West Midlands, or Mottram Hall in Cheshire provide the best of both worlds. Midweek stays usually have the best deals to help you save money, while a 3 night weekend break can push the price up.
