The period between July 11-13 is seen as the best time to go away, with a two-week holiday being more popular than a 10-day trip or a long weekend break.

More than two in five think the UK or western Europe is the ideal destination, with only 8% opting for Asia.

While the beach holiday remains popular, slightly more of the 2,000 people polled prefer activity holidays, city breaks and road trips.
A partner is easily the most popular person to go away with, with children, friends and parents the next most popular. Just 2% want to go away with work colleagues.

As many as 20% said they dislike going on holiday as they argue about what to do, while 27% say they come back from a break feeling tired and in need of more time away.
