A Guide To Breaks And Holidays In The Uk
Posted by young traveller on 02/8/08 in Travel and Leisure
It is almost considered the norm nowadays for people to take time out from their daily routine to experience perhaps a back-packing adventure around the world, or a trip to Australia for a year.
Indeed, the majority of holiday goers venture abroad. The attractions are obvious: guaranteed sunshine, golden sandy beaches and cheap beer.
It’s fair to say that the UK tourist industry finds it difficult to complete: if asked when they last had a holiday in the UK, substantial numbers of holidaymakers, many of whom would probably consider themselves well-travelled, might be left scratching their heads.
Perhaps they would recall a distant memory of a caravan holiday in Devon taken during the mid-1980s, where it rained constantly.
It is a shame that the UK is often over looked by the holiday going masses, because there are some great affordable UK breaks available. Finding the best deal is now easier than ever, with a host of internet sites providing all the information you need to help you decide what option suits you best.
For those of you who aren’t convinced then here’s one UK holiday option to consider.
Holiday homes and cottages
A great option for families or larger groups as you can usually find accommodation large enough for everyone. They’re a real home away from home, perfect if you want peace and quiet. They’re also great if you want the freedom to come and go as you please with no set meal times or itineraries to keep to.
If you’re planning a break in a UK holiday cottage then you should take into consideration the following:
• Budget - take into account travelling expenses as it’s easy to overspend. Also, most holiday homes charge by the week - for the whole property, not on a per person basis. This can work out in your advantage if you are in a large group but if you are in a group of four into a holiday home large enough to accommodate eight people then expect it to work out as a more expensive.
• Self-catering - be prepared to cater for yourselves as cottage holidays are generally self-catering. Most cottages will have a kitchen with all the utensils that you would expect but it’s always a good idea to enquire about the facilities beforehand. Remember to bring some basic provisions with you, to avoid having to make a supermarket run as soon as you arrive.
• Date - Be prepared to book
