Why Vacation Rentals Are the Smart Choice for Your Next Holiday
undefined • July 15, 2025
Hotels or Vacation Rentals?
Looking for something more comfortable (and cost-effective) than a hotel? Whether you're planning a weekend break, a work trip, or a longer stay, vacation rentals—also known as holiday homes or short-term lets—are fast becoming the top choice across the UK.
From seaside cottages to stylish city apartments, here’s why more and more travellers are choosing fully equipped homes over traditional hotel rooms.
What Is a Vacation Rental?
A vacation rental is a fully furnished property available to rent on a short-term basis. That means you get the whole place to yourself—complete with a kitchen, living space, bedrooms, and often a private garden or terrace.
Unlike hotels, which can feel impersonal and cramped, holiday homes offer more freedom, privacy, and value for money.
5 Reasons to Book a Holiday Home Instead of a Hotel
1. More Space & Comfort
Vacation rentals come with more room to relax—perfect for families, remote workers, or couples on a getaway. Enjoy separate bedrooms, a living area, and maybe even a hot tub.
2. Self-Catering Saves You Money
Ditch expensive restaurant bills! A self-catering stay lets you cook your own meals, stock the fridge, and enjoy your morning coffee just how you like it.
3. Ideal for Groups or Longer Stays
Traveling with friends, family, or work colleagues? Holiday homes often sleep 4–10 people—and offer better rates than booking multiple hotel rooms.
4. Long Stay Discounts
Many of our short-term lets offer special rates for weekly or monthly bookings—perfect for remote workers or project-based stays.
5. Live Like a Local
Staying in a holiday home gives you a real feel for the area. Wander to the local café, chat with neighbours, and discover hidden gems that tourists often miss.
