Britons are not short on options when booking a UK holiday, but not every place offers the same range of amenities.
UK holiday spots have been ranked, with areas in Wales ranking as the worst places to visit if travelling as a family.
Experts at Go Compare looked at 55 locations based on attractions, hotel costs and children-friendly accommodation to find the best destinations with something for everyone.
Those looking for a family holiday may want to avoid Wales and Scotland, however.
Swansea was one of the places mentioned in the research
PA
Welsh cities Newport, Cardiff and Swansea were found to be the worst for families, followed by two Scottish destinations - Aberdeen and Glasgow.
Worst staycation spots
- Newport 1.4
- Cardiff 2.0
- Swansea 2.1
- Aberdeen 2.3
- Glasgow 2.5
The experts said: "Newport's low score stems from a limited selection of family-friendly accommodations and activities, as well as soaring price hikes during the holidays.
"With only 72 family-suited hotels, families might struggle to find the right accommodation, especially during peak travel seasons when prices see a steep increase of 47 per cent.
"The Welsh city also offers just 20 family-friendly attractions, meaning limited options for keeping the kids entertained."
While Newport is lacking in child-friendly activities, those who are travelling without children might not find this to be a problem.

Glasgow ranked lowly for the number of family activities
GETTYThe study showed the same downfalls for the Scottish spots, finding the destinations particularly difficult for Britons trying to keep everyone entertained.
It said: "Aberdeen and Glasgow also rank in the lowest five destinations on the family staycation index.
"Their limited family-friendly amenities and high seasonal price hikes can make planning a cost-effective family trip more challenging.
"Scotland experiences lower price hikes than Wales, but a large increase of 31 per cent can make all the difference when planning a family getaway."
