There’s so much more flexibility with a self-catering holiday, you aren’t tied in to restricted mealtimes, so you can have complete control over the flow of your day. Perhaps you want a long lie in and breakfast turns into a late brunch instead. The beauty of a self-catering holiday is that you can do everything at your own pace.
With self-catering, food is often the biggie. They will come with fully equipped kitchens, with all the utensils you’d need to cook a delicious meal – save some money and cook your meals instead of eating out all week long. Head to the local market and stock up, or you can always treat yourselves to a nice meal out at a local pub or restaurant too.
A truly great family holiday option, we all know that some children can be fussy eaters, so staying in a place where you can prepare the meals can be a godsend for some parents. The kids can eat and snack when they feel like it, and you don’t have to worry if they’ll actually like the snacks, since you brought them with you!
Enjoy the peace and quiet – there’s nothing worse than having noisy and inconsiderate hotel neighbours, or being woken up by other guests heading in at stupid o’clock in the morning. By choosing a self-catering holiday cottage, you eliminate the noisy aspect and you can relish in the privacy and the freedom that comes hand-in-hand with it.
A lot of holiday cottages are also pet-friendly, this is brilliant for families. Who wants to leave their beloved four-legged friend at home or in kennels whilst they go off on an adventure? This also helps to save money in the long run, as paying for a dog sitter or boarding kennels can be expensive, but if you can take them with you it’s a much better solution. There will be some form of charge associated with bringing your furry friend, but as long as there is no damage to the property that should be it!
A common misconception is that you’ll miss out some great facilities by going self-catered, this isn’t the case. Many holiday cottages come with fully equipped kitchens, bedrooms, seating areas and games rooms. Are you tempted?
