More Bang for Your Buck: Taking a Holiday Home in England

From the excitement of London to the rolling hills of the Lake District, taking a holiday house in England will open the way for any kind of vacation you seek. Renting a holiday home in the United Kingdom is an ideal way to experience the country's culture, history and traditions -- and luckily, there are myriad holiday apartments and larger holiday homes available.

Advantages to a Holiday Home in England

England offers must-see destinations in every direction. You can plan an entire holiday around London, while there are lovely seaside towns in Devon, in the south, Georgian towns in the southwest, and beautiful lakes and hills in the northern Lake District. All of these regions will provide touring opportunities that are ideal for everyone in your family. Even better, holiday rentals allow you to have control over your living quarters, and you can cut travel costs by visiting a local shop and cooking meals at home. Furthermore, holiday houses make it possible to more fully experience local life and culture.

Things to Do

Holiday homes will likely place you close to public transportation, or you can hire a car. Some must-see sights around England include ancient Stonehenge and the Roman Baths in Bath, gorgeous Cumbria, the Cotswalds, Stratford-Upon-Avon (Shakespeare's hometown), and so much more. Be sure to check before you go -- the country offers a plethora of music festivals, food festivals, and holiday markets depending where you are and when. Luckily, holiday homes in every region make it easy to book accordingly.

Things to Know

For travel based on outdoor activities, like hiking in the Lake District, it's best to look into holiday houses from March to October. For renting holiday houses near the family-friendly beaches of Devon, for example, it's best to book in July and August. For London's sights, meanwhile, check out holiday apartments and holiday rentals all year round, but be sure to pack an umbrella! And even during warmer months, take a light jacket. British summers can be cooler than expected.
