. East Midlands - £15.73pp per night
If you wish to take in the sites of the city, the East Midlands offers plenty to see in Leicester, Nottingham and Derby, such as the National Space Centre or the Robin Hood Experience. Or if you’re craving a sandy staycation, you won’t be far from the seaside town of Skegness where you can play ten-pin bowling, go go-karting and, of course, build sandcastles! Photo: Steve Harvey

4. Yorkshire and the Humber - £16.27pp per night
Despite being so affordable, Yorkshire has so many sights to offer tourists. If you’re after a picturesque break, why not go on an adventure through the Yorkshire Dales National Park, or absorb the scenery in the Sheffield Botanical Gardens. Or, you can take a wander down the cobbled streets of York, The Shambles, and sail on a lovely boat ride down the York Ouse River. Photo: instagram
