Enjoying a staycation is the trendy way to enjoy a holiday nowadays and you can choose to go anywhere in the UK but one place stands out as a great choice and that’s Derbyshire. Keeping the cost of a holiday down is important for many of us and this is far easier to do on a staycation than on a holiday that involves taking a long haul flight. Derbyshire is home to beautiful natural scenery that you can explore on your own without having to book up group tours and whether you want to go swimming or hiking, you can do many things for free.
Finding somewhere affordable and well-located to stay during your holiday is important and often the best deals are found online on websites like www.derbyshirecountrycottages.co.uk. You will need to work out how many people the property has to be able to accommodate before you start looking around for a deal and you can check out things such as on-site facilities by reading the property description.
Property Facilities
Here are some of the facilities and amenities that you will need to look into when looking for somewhere to stay:
- How many bedrooms there are
- If there is parking available
- If the property has internet access
- If you can take your dog with you
Taking a staycation can be a great opportunity to bond with your family and as Derbyshire is home to lots of natural scenery, it is the perfect place to take children who have lots of excess energy to burn off.
You can take your pet dog to a lot of the self catering properties and this can be a great thing if you don’t like putting your dog into kennels or you can’t afford the expense. There are plenty of walks and hiking trails that you can enjoy discovering with your dog and this is a hugely appealing reason to go on a staycation for many families with a pet.
Outdoor Activities
Here are a few ideas of the different types of activities that you can enjoy in the great outdoors:
- Walking through the towns and villages
- Canoeing
- Sailing
- Swimming
- Hiking nature trails
- Exploring Sherwood Forest
There are lots of impressive homes with equally as impressive gardens throughout Derbyshire such as Chatworth House and Haddon Hall, and you can spend hours exploring these attractions with all of the family.
Derbyshire is also home to towns and villages like Buxton, Bakewell, Monyash and Winster and you can take your time to wander around these places if you want to do something a little less physically challenging than a long hike or an activity like sailing. Alton Towers is also close by and you might want to think about what you want to see and do before you book your self catering accommodation, as this will help you to find a property that is located close to the things you want to experience to save you the hassle of lots of driving.
