The benefits of choosing self-catering accommodation for your next holiday

"Cooking is like love: 

It should be entered into with 

abandon or not at all." 


— Harriet van Horne

With the COVID-19 pandemic on everyone’s mind and almost more than half of the world stuck indoors, we know you can’t wait for you next holiday. The question is, how will you travel after all of this is over? Will you stay in a self-catered accommodation or book yourself in at a hotel? Choosing where to stay during a family holiday or a trip with friends can be a frustrating exercise.

We might be biased, but we believe that choosing self-catering accommodation has pretty strong advantages over staying in a hotel. These include:

You will spend less money

Self-catering holidays have become very popular with travellers going on family holidays. Why would this be the case? Choosing the self-catering option has its benefits. You will spend less money on accommodation. This will allow you to choose exactly what sort of meals when and where you want to eat. On a family holiday this is an important factor to consider, because younger children may want to eat at different times to adults. In self-catering accommodation you can eat at whatever time is most convenient for you.

You’ll have so much more flexibility

Flexibility is another great perk of self-catering. This is what you want to experience when travelling. You will have the freedom to eat out at local restaurants or to cook back at yourself catering accommodation. You can even choose to sample the local cuisine and wine at a local restaurant on some nights and other nights you may want to enjoy a more cheaper meal.
