    Gone are the days when a holiday meant jetting off to another country to enjoy sangria on the beach. With more options than ever, going on a staycation in the UK has become a popular option for many in recent years.

    The big push towards staycations began with the COVID-19 pandemic where travel restrictions meant that we couldn’t get away to our favourite overseas vacation spots and so, were encouraged to holiday in the UK. This meant that the UK population got to see new places around the country with North Yorkshire being the most popular staycation county in 2020.

    With many people still cautious of the threat of COVID-19, staycations are here to stay, so we’re here to talk you through the best options available to you now.

    Motorhome and Campervans

    Are you looking for the freedom to getaway? Well with a motorhome or campervan, you’ll have the luxury to get up and drive to anywhere you want in the UK.

    Over the years, buying or renting motorhomes and campervans has been a popular holidaying option and with recent trends of people having a DIY approach of renovating a second-hand van to make it their own cosy motorhome, this has become incredibly popular.

    It is important that you don’t forget to take out the right insurance cover for your motorhome and you may need to take out a multi-car policy – especially during the winter months due to increased chances of breakdowns and accidents.

    Holiday homes and caravan sites

    Perfect for any family holiday, this home away from home feel with fun, on-site entertainment can excite the whole family which makes it the ideal staycation option.

    There are many rental options available in this staycation category but if you happen to be going on your first vacation in your new caravan then you’ll want to make sure you have the essential items for a successful trip.

    City breaks

    Enjoy the buzz of a different city. Take a trip to Manchester and enjoy some incredible sporting action or why not take a trip to the capital and enjoy the busy streets of London with exciting shops, an incredible range of cuisines and endless activities to enjoy; city breaks can be so fun!

    The beauty of city escape is that you won’t have to look far to find your perfect accommodation. Why not try a luxury spa hotel or book a simple Airbnb with your friends so you can all be in one place and enjoy each other’s company.

    City breaks have countless transport routes in so getting to your destination will be easy, whether that’s by train or car.
