Some quality time away with your mum could be pulled off for a bargain price thanks to £34 a night rooms at Travelodge.

The hotel chain has released thousands of rooms for £34 or less across its 580 UK hotels ahead of the big parenting date.

For a family of four sharing a room, that works out at just £8.50 per person.

It's the perfect excuse to treat your mum to a UK city break on the big day (March 19 for those who need a gentle reminder!), especially with deals including Edinburgh, Newcastle and York.

Alternatively, Travelodge has 36 coastal hotels that are located at all of the major seaside and coastal locations across the country.

Why not explore the beautiful coastline this summer with your mum and enjoy the warmer climate of the English Riviera in Torquay, the clear water and the pristine sands in Sandbanks, the iconic waves of Polzeath beach in Cornwall, or the calm and still of Hengistbury Head in Bournemouth?

The rooms are subject to availability - you can find out more and book at travelodge.co.uk.

The Travelodge deal may be particularly tempting at the moment, with getting away on holiday in the UK generally becoming more and more expensive

A study of city breaks conducted this week underlined just how pricey a UK staycation had become.

The research, conducted by travel experts Jersey Island Holidays, worked out the price of two nights of accommodation, restaurant meals, fast food lunches, taxi rides, public transport and a cinema/theatre excursion.

Leicester is the cheapest destination - but will still cost over £500 for a couple to visit - followed by Coventry, Cardiff and Northampton.

The biggest expense when going away is accommodation, as the average hotel costs £75 a night, while an Airbnb is priced at £117 per night

In reality, holidaymakers need to be budgeting at least £700 when planning their staycation, as the data reveals that the average UK city costs £715 to visit.

London came out as the most expensive destination for a weekend break at £1,230.

The price rises further if there are more than two people planning to get away, with a family of four expected to shell out an additional £130 on just food and drinks alone.

Airbnbs are the most expensive in London, costing an average of £195 a night, but also proved particularly costly in Brighton (£145), York (£138) and Edinburgh (£136).

The research also doesn’t take into account additional costs associated with getting away, such as travel to/from the city destination, additional leisure activities or excursions, or boozy nights out.

If you are looking for a cheap place to stay, Blackpool is probably the destination to go for.

A separate poll of 2,000 adults saw the north-western destination take the lead across four categories – accommodation, activities, eating out, and transport - when it comes to cheap places for a break.
