In the UK, there is so much to see and discover. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with all the perks of a staycation.
With the travel industry drastically changing this year, thanks to you know what, it’s time to rethink how you approach holidays. Here in the UK, there is so much to see and discover. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with all the perks of a staycation.
Easier journeys
One of the best parts of staying in the country for your holiday is how much easier it is to arrive at your destination. For example, travelling from West Hampstead to Alban’s City is much quicker than jetting off to Greece. In the time you’d be waiting in an airport to board an international flight, you could have already arrived and got settled in your UK spot.
Less planning
This leads nicely on to how much stress you’ll save yourself as well. When you choose a UK staycation, it immediately cuts down your holiday ‘to do’ list. You don’t have to worry about sorting out visas, getting your passport renewed, or converting your currency. If you fancy a spontaneous weekend away, it’s much easier to organise a trip to the seaside a couple of hours away rather than a European city break.
Discover hidden gems
So many of us have taken living in the UK for granted. Did you know that last year Lonely Planet named England the second-best tourist destination in the world? From the gorgeous coasts down south to the tranquil Lake District up north, there are so many beautiful spots to explore. Just because you live here doesn’t mean you’ve seen everything. There is a simple joy in acting like a tourist in your own country.
Bring pets
Another perk of the staycation is the fact you can bring your pets with you. You don’t have to worry about finding a kennel or a pet-sitter. Whether you’re camping, glamping, or in a pet-friendly rental – your pet will love the getaway as much as you. You save yourself time, worry, and money. Your pet gets that special, quality, time with you. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Save money
All of this adds up to how much money a staycation saves you. From transport costs to pet sitters – your staycation will be much cheaper than a trip abroad. If you’re looking to really cut the costs, check out these money-saving tips right here.
The UK is such a beautiful island and we’re lucky to live here. There are so many spots to choose from when planning your next holiday. Where’s your ideal staycation destination?
