Staycations Make Sense for 2021

With so much uncertainty surrounding quarantine arrangements during the past six months, it really does make sense to holiday in the UK for the foreseeable future. Booking a foreign holiday at the moment is a bit like playing Russian Roulette, so for your next short break or summer holiday you should check out the large selection of beach holiday homes listed with us.

Booking early really is the key as it has been estimated that up to 14 million Brits will be looking to book self-catering accommodation in the UK next year. If you leave it until the last minute you may find yourself either missing the boat or paying through the nose because of owners or property managers inflating prices due to the increased demand.

We’ve received a lot of really positive feedback from holidaymakers who normally head to France, Spain or Portugal for their annual break, but have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and facilities available at many of the beach houses listed on our site. It seems that many of them weren’t aware that you could actually holiday in the UK and enjoy features like private hot tubs with sea views, direct beach access and dog friendly cottages on the beach.

Sure, you can’t rely on the weather as much as you can in say the Costa Del Sol, but a few clouds, a stiff breeze and the odd drop of rain will hardly dampen your spirits if you’re sipping a glass of champagne whilst relaxing in a hot tub overlooking the beach. And if you’re a dog lover and normally leave your trusty hound behind when heading overseas, you’ll be pleased to know (as will your dog) there is an abundance of dog friendly cottages by the seaside to rent throughout the UK.

It’s probably fair to say that the UK doesn’t generally conjure up images of you and your loved ones lying by the pool or enjoying dinner on the terrace overlooking the sea. But as many are now finding out, there are plenty of amazing beach houses to rent offering just such an experience located in popular seaside resorts like Cornwall, Sussex and Devon on the South West Coast.

So, if you’re reading this then you are well on your way to discovering a fabulous coastal holiday home in the UK, offering peace of mind and removing any concerns you may have about the changing goal posts in terms of the quarantine status for overseas destinations.

It’s also important to mention that if your plans do need to change due to any sudden lockdown restrictions that the majority of property agents will allow you to cancel your booking or rebook for another date without incurring any extra charges. So, enjoy a UK staycation next year, you never know, you may even be tempted to do it again!
