If the idea of delayed flights, busy airports and tourist-filled resorts doesn’t appeal to you, why not consider a holiday closer to home this year? More people are choosing short breaks or longer holidays in the UK. ‘Staycations’ give you all the benefits of a great luxury break without any of the hassle of international travel.
With so many luxurious self-catering cottages to choose from, a weekend break or longer summer holiday is the perfect way to relax. There are plenty of reasons why you should choose a self-catering cottage break. Here are some of the very best.
1 – Relax from the start
Your holiday begins with a relaxing drive to your cottage. There are no airport delays or added stress getting through customs, making connections or lost baggage. Once you arrive, you will find everything you need to enjoy your break, from luxurious, fully-equipped kitchens to comfortable living rooms and bedrooms. Many cottages have their own outdoor space for drinks, dining or just watching the sun set.
2 – Take the whole family
Family-friendly cottages offer busy families the chance to escape to the countryside. Cots, highchairs and a range of play equipment for babies and older children are usually provided. This means you can pack light. However, if you do have special requirements, check first with the provider. Many cottages are dog friendly, so there is no need for any family members to miss out.
3 – Spend some quality time together
Busy lifestyles mean that many of us don’t spend as much quality time with our partners as we should. With a romantic cottage break for two, you can cosy up in your own luxurious retreat, or enjoy exploring the countryside together. Plan your own schedule, with the freedom to come and go as you please.
4 – Escape the World Cup!
The World Cup is on this summer, and if you’re not a football fan, you could escape to the countryside with a cottage break. Surrounded by rolling hills and stunning landscapes, football will be the last thing on your mind.
