The Fife village that was crowned 'most picturesque' in Scotland
It even appeared in an episode of Outlander. Scotland is jam-packed with lovely towns and villages that each have something to offer. When it comes to choosing a staycation spot, there are almost too many to list. One Scottish village that has earned particular praise is Falkland. As previously reported by the Daily Record, the Fife settlement topped a list of the most "picturesque" settlements in the country. Falkland is perhaps most famous for its palace, with Falkland Palace known as a favourite destination of Mary, Queen of Scots. The palace is home to sprawling formal gardens and even one of Britain's oldest tennis courts. Another highlight of the village is the Falkland Estate, which includes various picturesque walking trails that date back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It also has a café, where visitors can enjoy light lunches in a beautiful woodland garden. Elsewhere, Falkland is the site of the historic Bruce Fountain. The ornamental fountain is located on Falkland's High Street, and dates back to 1856. Speaking of the village's High Street, it features an array of charming shops and other businesses. Visitors can shop for vintage clothes, gifts, antiques, and more. Keen-eyed Outlander fans may also recognise Falkland, as the village was previously used as a filming location for the iconic historical drama. Falkland was used to portray the city of Inverness, where characters Claire and Frank arrive on their honeymoon. When it comes to choosing a place to stay in Falkland, there are plenty of options. From cottages that can be rented out to a number of hotels, holidaymakers are spoilt for choice. One popular holiday rental in Falkland is Malt Barn Cottage, which sleeps up to two guests. The property can be booked through at a price of £432 for two nights. Inside, the single-storey detached period cottage includes historic features such as stone walls and wood panelling. There is also a fully enclosed garden with two sets of tables and chairs for al fresco dining. On Malt Barn Cottage has earned mostly positive feedback from guests. A recent visitor described it as a "wonderful cottage in a wonderful location", though another said that the "cleanliness of kitchen needs attention". Elsewhere, Dunira is a one-bedroom home situated in the heart of Falkland. It is available to book for £552 for three nights through Sykes Holiday Cottages. The detached cottage, which was built in 1749, is described on the listing as an "an ideal base for a romantic break". It features a shaker-style kitchen, a living room with a wood-burning fire and a TV, and a bathroom with a large freestanding copper bath. Dunira has a rating of 4.8 out of five on Sykes Holiday Cottages based on 74 customer reviews. One recent guest described it as "lovely inside and out", while a previous visitor called it "cold". In terms of hotels in Falkland, among the most popular is The Covenanter Hotel. The inn features five bedrooms, a restaurant, a bar, and a coffee shop.

Sainsbury's car park rated UK seaside town's top tourist attraction on Tripadvisor
UK seaside towns are usually a hit with tourists for their beautiful beaches, cosy pubs and fish and chip shops, but one town has become famous for a Sainsbury's car park When planning a seaside staycation, most people will look at a town's proximity to beautiful beaches, the choice of pubs and chippies on offer, and whether there are many attractions to keep the whole family busy. While Bude in Cornwall may be right by some gorgeous coastal walks and offer plenty of seaside charm, there's a quirky reason why Brits are flocking to the town to snap photos. In what is an example of British humour at its best, a Sainsbury's car park has become the town's top-rated attraction on Tripadvisor, with a rating of 4.7 stars. It's not entirely clear when it started, but UK tourists started leaving hilariously generous reviews of the Bude Tunnel, describing it as "magnificent" and "magical", and comparing it to the likes of Lapland or London. It's gained such a cult following that Tripadvisor reportedly briefly switched off comments at one point because the reviews weren't truthfully reflecting what it actually is; a perspex tunnel, in a car park. "A life-changing stroll through plastic grandeur – loses half a star because our epic trek lacked a soundtrack," one jokester wrote on the review site. "Maybe it would've been better at night when it's lit up." Another added: "Forget Harry Potter. If you want a magical experience, this is it. This is our second visit to the tunnel in as many years. You will NOT be disappointed." It could also turn out to be quite the romantic hotspot. One holidaymaker and their partner survived what must have been a rough time for them both as they wrote: "Doesn't disappoint, it brought me and my partner closer together after a disagreement over Sainsbury's opening times. Stronger than ever, thank you Bude tunnel." Locals have also been getting in on the joke, with one resident saying that "this South Western Wonder is a wonderful landmark which we are all sure to be proud to have in Cornwall", quipping that they felt "so inspired and motivated" while they walked through the tunnel. Meanwhile Sainsbury's has embraced the attention, and has even decorated the tunnel with some Christmas lights during festive seasons. Luckily for tourists (and to be honest, locals), there's a lot more that Bude has to offer. Other highly-rated attractions on Tripadvisor include the town's natural sea pool, as well as some of the picturesque beaches such as Summerleaze Beach with its pirate ship model and Sandy Mouth Beach. Water sports fans won't be disappointed either with a host of offerings from kayaking and bodyboarding to surfing. Meanwhile back on land, hikers can lace up their boots and take on a stretch of the South West Coast Path.
