The Many Plus Points Of Self Catering In The Lake District
A self catering holiday gives more space for families and allow multiple couples or friends to go away together, splitting costs and creating a good value holiday. Responsibletravel.com reported a 50% rise of self catering holidays compared with this time last year.
Unless there is a special offer on a 5 star hotel rate then that rate is going to be considerable and even with a discount or added value offer, can still be on the steep side. The rate charge of a 5 star, luxury self catering property only changes with the seasons. When filled to its capacity (especially in the case of larger properties) a luxury cottage can be rented for a comparatively small amount per person. Take properties that sleep 10 to 14. In the Lake District, there are some of the most luxurious and distinguished self catering properties available in the whole of the UK. Coupled with the spectacular scenery and the choice and quality of the food and produce, a truly 5 star holiday can be had at a very small cost.
When a large party takes a self catering holiday, it not only benefits the bank balance but it benefits the environment too. The carbon footprint of a self catering holiday is significantly less than a hotel based holiday. Many factors contribute to this, the amount of lights, sheets and towels washed and spa and swimming pool facilities and transportation costs as larger groups can car share. Some self catering property owners and developers are creating more eco friendly properties, for example, installing solar panels, wind turbines, using worming and composting systems.
There are a number of plus points that make a self catering holiday attractive. Here are some examples:
1.The ability to cook yourselves. This is a huge money saving exercise especially for families and larger groups. When in a group, the cooking can be shared and it can actually be quite a fun event. The luxury self catering properties are often better equipped than the guests homes with state of the art, contemporary facilities.
2.Storage facilities and space. If having an activity holiday or a family holiday in the Lake District where there are bikes, walking gear or sailing equipment, most self catering properties have the space to store this equipment and space for drying when necessary. This can be very necessary in the Lake District!
3. Lake District cottages are often set amongst fantastic scenery and tranquil locations, allowing complete relaxation.
4.It is the chance to spend time in a property completely different from home.
5.The ability to come and go when you please.
6.The more the merrier for fun and money saving. There is greater interaction compared with staying in separate hotel rooms.
