Summer is undoubtedly the best season in the world ever.

1. The warm weather. Waking up to the sunlight glistening through the trees or streaming in the window instantly energises you for the day ahead.

2. Picnics. Definitely one of the best ways to enjoy the sun with your family and friends.

3. Blue skies. When blue skies appear you know that summer is here! Gazing up at pure blue skies instantly soothes the soul…

4. Trips to the beach. There are some magnificent beaches to visit around the UK and what is better than spending a day paddling in the sea, building sandcastles, and enjoying some of the best fish and chips you can buy!
5. Swimming in the sea. Nothing beats dipping your feet into the sea for the first time that year and instantly feeling relaxed – and it’s even better when your four-legged family members can join in the fun too! Take a look at our selection of the top 10 dog-friendly beaches around our locations.

6. Barbecues! The smell of burgers, hot dogs, and steaks that come from a barbecue is one of the best summer experiences! The flavour gives you a perfect taste of one of the best seasons. Opt for a Golden Oak cabin, fire up the gas barbecue, and get cooking!

7. Ice cream. Whether you are a fan of Ben and Jerry’s or you love the classic Mr. Whippy, both taste so much nicer when the sun is shining.

8. Time off school for the kids. This means the kids can relax and that families can catch up on some well-deserved time together.

9. The clothing. Swap your winter coats and woolly hats for flip flops, sunglasses, and shorts!

10. Longer days. Taking advantage of the lighter evenings means that there is more time to spend with your loved ones or trying something new.
