Easter breaks, home and away

Mill View Cottage at the southern end of Robin Hood’s Bay is a good choice for families this Easter, sitting beside the old windmill on the edge of Ravenscar with panoramic sea views from the living room and direct access onto the Cleveland Way.

One of more than 400 holiday homes from Yorkshire Cottages, Mill View Cottage’s accommodation is family-friendly, with a king-sized bedroom and two twin-bedded rooms as well as spacious living room, a well-equipped kitchen-diner and a wet room. Not one, but two family pets are welcome at no extra charge.

Ten miles from Scarborough and 13 from Whitby, this recent barn conversion is perfect for exploring both the coast and the North Yorkshire Moors.  A week’s rental starting Saturday 3 April is £505. For more information, visit yorkshire-cottages.info.

Affordable Easter breaks to a choice of campsites in France and Italy – with a seven-night family holiday costing from just £145 – is the offer from camping and mobile home operator, Venue Holidays.

The above price is the total for two adults and up to four children and includes return P&O Dover/Calais saver ferry crossing for car and passengers and accommodation in a fully-equipped four-bedroom tent.  The same holiday, but taken in a two bedroom mobile home, costs £195 per family.
