2020 was an unprecedented year and had many of us in the unique situation where we were effectively forced to holiday here in the United Kingdom and not take our usual overseas holiday. But what will 2021 bring for us?
Well, it is predicated that 2021 will be another booming year for staycations, with potentially many more of us opting to stay here in the UK rather than taking the risk of going abroad. Many of us have developed a newfound love for our home soil. Although, even before the pandemic there was a rise in domestic travel and stays.
A staycation is the only real certainty we have for next year, who knows what travel restrictions will be in place and do we really want to take any unnecessary risks by taking a foreign holiday and possibly getting stranded there.
The recent pandemic has made us focus on what we expect from a stay away and top priorities for many individuals is safety, privacy and seclusion. A stay in a holiday cottage can provide all of this and much more.
We are extremely lucky, in that the UK easily rivals going abroad, you can have an incredible holiday here that will rival any overseas stay. You will find everything needed for a memorable stay; high-quality accommodations, first class attractions, amazing seaside resorts, golden sandy beaches with clear blue waters, that would rival any Mediterranean holiday, excellent restaurants, and let’s not forget our incredible welcoming country pubs and inns.
If you are planning a holiday in Cornwall, you won’t be disappointed, there is an incredible amount to see and do. It is among the sunniest places in the country as well as having the mildest climate.
For those seeking activities there is plenty to engage and entertain from exhilarating water sports such as coasteering, SUP boarding, sailing, surfing, to sedate and more traditional bucket and spade holidays, on one of the many fabulous beaches. Hiking, golfing, fishing, river tours, sea safaris, historical and cultural tours, stately homes, gardens, museums, steam trains, brewery and winery tours, zoos and conservation centres, theme parks, the possibilities are endless.
Many of us already know of the merits of staying in the UK for a holiday. In fact, 95% of visitors to Cornwall return and of those 80% return frequently.
There is likely to be a run-on individuals booking holiday properties so if you are considering a UK stay, we would recommend looking and booking early to avoid disappointment. It is more than likely there will be a short supply of accommodations especially during the peak holiday periods. There are some amazing properties still available to book and some bargains on offer.
The holiday season here in the UK is predominantly from Easter through to the end of October. Weekends are also busy and of course the school holidays are the real peak period.
So, will you be inspired to take a staycation in 2021, not only is it a less stressful option, a more financially safe option but, it also helps with bolstering the UK economy. A staycation really is a win, win situation.
