Staycation Holidays Are The Way Forward In 2021

Holidays abroad for the last 18 months have, to say the least, been very complicated. The covid restrictions and list of countries that you can and cannot visit along with testing, quarantine and isolating, means that going for a two week holiday in the sun is quite honestly is just too much hassle! A big percentage of the British population have decided that 2021 is the year of the staycation and I am most certainly one of those people.

Actually, having a staycation in the UK is actually very appealing. After all the UK has some of the best beaches, coastlines, countryside and cities comparable to anywhere in the world and if the sun shines brightly then a staycation in the UK is definitely the answer for a family holiday.

Remember it’s very important to save all the wonderful family memories that you create on your family staycation in a holiday photo book so you can look back on the fantastic time you had as a family.

Deciding on what type of staycation you would like for a family holiday can be difficult so here are a few suggestions for a staycation in 2021.

1. Bed & Breakfast

If you heading towards the coast for a holiday, the chances are there will be a large selection of B&B’s to chose from. Well, at least that is what you would expect but with the trend towards staycations this year, many B&B’s have been struggling with the massive demand and the chances are you could be very disappointed in booking a B&B in the more popular tourist resorts such as the Lake District or the beaches of the south coast of England or the beautiful coastlines of West Wales.

2. Motorhomes & Campervans

This year due to more and more people deciding to holiday in the UK, B&B’s are filling up much more quickly. It has come as no surprise that interest in motorhomes and campervans has grown by 81% and 61% respectively over the last two years.

Having a motorhome or a campervan is really a great way to travel across the UK. In fact, it’s like having your very own hotel on wheels. You don’t have to worry about booking hotels or B&B’s because you have everything you need when you have a motorhome or a campervan. You can just pack up and be on a road trip within minutes and everything you need is in your motorhome or campervan. Your cooking and sleeping arrangements are all sorted.

If you are thinking of a road trip it could be you are only thinking of taking one road trip with the family. If so, then the answer maybe motorhome hire because otherwise it would be quite an investment for just one road trip. Of course you might decide that you would like to take numerous road trips throughout the year. Then it would definitely be worth investing in your very own motorhome which you can of course personalise for your family and yourself. It is of course a major investment and it’s very important that you get motorhome insurance. It’s also important to have it insured by a company that will offer specialist motorhome insurance that is tailored to your needs and your motorhome. Motorhome insurance from Lexham insurance is one such company that offers a complete and comprehensive motorhome insurance.

3. AirBnB

This is another option if you are planning a staycation this year. It’s a great way to have a holiday, but unlike a road trip it does mean you will be limited to the area where your AirBnB is. This could be exactly what you want. Perhaps a city break which is where AirBnB would be perfect. It is worth remembering that because of the demand for AirBnB’s their prices have risen so be careful you do not get overcharged. Also you will need to book early to avoid disappointment.
