Escorted coach tours specialist Shearings has launched a collection of longer duration self-drive holidays in the UK.
Available for travel from May, the eight-day holidays are priced from £317 for three-star half-board accommodation.
There are 18 hotels in popular destinations, including Devon, Cornwall, the Isle of Wight, Wales and Scotland, and all the properties are pet-friendly.
Ashley Dellow, Shearings’ head of retail sales, said: “The launch of these slightly longer breaks could not have been more timely.
“Agents are telling me they’re having unprecedented demand for UK holidays this summer, with clients wanting their UK breaks to be longer as they’ve put overseas holidays on the back burner for now.
“The self-drive holidays are perfect for those wanting extra independence to do their own thing and more time to explore.
“Another popular reason to choose self-drive is to be able to take a dog along and all of the new longer holidays feature pet-friendly hotels.”
All holidays in the new self-drive collection can also be booked for shorter breaks of five or seven days.
Eight-day breaks at Hotel Burlington, Eastbourne, cost from £349, and from £387 at Broadway Park (pictured) at Sandown on the Isle of Wight.
