Ever wanted to stay in one of Britain’s tiniest properties? Now you can.

Sykes Cottages has released the ‘Mini Collection’; a selection of its cutest, tiniest holiday properties across the UK - that prove living smaller has bigger benefits.

Here’s five reasons why you should be considering a real ‘mini break’ this year.

The more space and stuff’ we have round us, the more mental energy we exude on them. By staying in a tiny property, you have more time to focus on yourself and your companions, as well as the experiences you’ll have as part of your staycation

Leave your baggage at home – literally. There’s no room for a boot full of bags in a tiny home and the less items you bring with you, the less you have to worry about; freeing up time, space and energy to relax and enjoy your stay

Having a smaller space to stay in brings you together with whoever you’re sharing it with. Being in close proximity to one another will facilitate a deeper interaction and bonding, this is particularly beneficial for couples looking to spend a romantic getaway together.

Staying in a small property can encourage you to make use of the natural space around you. For example, Sykes’ Kerensa property is on a family run farm and has beautiful views over open countryside as well as a wood burning hot tub.

Above all other benefits of a mini trip, tiny homes are pretty cosy. With all their nooks, crannies and compact furniture, a day snuggled up in front of a fire with hot drinks and chocolates, doesn’t sound half bad in a tiny property.
