Family Short Breaks: Because Parents Deserve a Breather Too

Family Short Breaks: Pack the Kids, Find the Sea, Get Your Sanity Back

Family Short Breaks are the parent’s emergency exit: a quick, good-value coastal escape where the kids can run themselves tired and you can remember what silence sounds like. At Westward Ho! Holiday Park, Braddicks Holidays makes it easy—think big beaches, fresh Atlantic air, and a comfortable base close enough to hear the waves.

Why Families Love a Short Break by the Sea

Because it works. Kids plus beach equals hours of screen-free entertainment. Sandcastles in woolly hats, rock-pool expeditions, storm-watching with chips in paper—simple, brilliant, affordable. And when the day winds down, head back to your warm, modern base (heating on, kettle ready), with our caravan holidays built for board games, hot chocolate, and the rare joy of early bedtimes that don’t start a riot.

Affordable Breaks That Make Sense

Our September and October breaks from £270 mean spontaneous getaways that don’t terrify the budget. It’s better value than another weekend refereeing over the TV remote—and infinitely more relaxing. If the dates line up, don’t hesitate: book now and secure some family time before the year sprints away.

What Kids Love (and Parents Secretly Love More)

  • Beaches without queues: Sandcastles, football, shell collecting—free fun that guarantees pink cheeks and early nights.
  • Coastal adventures: Clifftop views on the South West Coast Path, pebble-skimming, wave-watching and “Did you see that?” moments.
  • Rain-day winners: Snug movie nights, board-game grudges, and hot-chocolate moustaches.
  • Bring the dog: Our dog friendly holidays keep tails wagging and guilt at zero.

Last Minute, Stress-Free

Plans change. Energy dips. School letters appear without warning. That’s why our last minute caravan holidays keep things simple: pick a date, pack layers, and let North Devon work its magic. Availability moves quickly—if you spot a slot that suits, book now before another family pounces.

Make Memories, Not Excuses

Childhood races by—one minute it’s buckets and spades, the next it’s eye-rolls and borrowed hoodies. A coastal getaway gives you the good stuff: proper laughs, muddy boots, sandy toes, and stories that last. Grab an offer, pick your dates, and let Westward Ho! Holiday Park do the heavy lifting. For value, fresh air, and a reset that genuinely sticks, nothing beats Family Short Breaks.
