Holiday in Suffolk: 9 Reasons for a Staycation
A getaway is necessary for us all. But amidst rising costs, more of us are thinking about how to make our annual holidays a bit cheaper.
Holidays don’t need to cost the earth, and your budget shouldn’t stop you from getting away with your loved ones and having a break. More people are now choosing a ‘staycation’ instead of travelling far and wide.
But budget-friendly holidaying isn’t the only reason you should staycation this year. Here are 9 other reasons…
1. Better for the environment
If you’re trying to be more conscious of your carbon footprint, a staycation could be the answer. Flying is one of the most polluting activities you can do, a staycation means your annual carbon footprint is massively reduced.
2. Take your pets
Accommodation sites like ours have all sorts of pet-friendly stays. Taking your pet with you on holiday is rarely an option when going abroad. Why not let them join you on your family holiday this year?
3. Help support local businesses
By staycationing, you’ll be supporting small and local businesses that aren’t too far away from you. Staying at boutique and independent rentals, shopping at local stores and eating in local restaurants and pubs are all ways you can support local communities.
4. More flexibility over length
Particularly if you work remotely, when staycationing you won’t need to rush back home when it’s time to get back to work. If you want to extend your stay or work a couple of days from your staycation, you’ll have the flexibility to do so.
5. You won’t run out of things to do
The UK is a surprisingly diverse place. The likelihood is that wherever you go, you’ll have the option to visit museums, hike, enjoy family friendly activities, eat wonderful food and much more. Just because you’re staycationing doesn’t mean you won’t have fun! And Suffolk has everything you need from a holiday.
6. Less stress around new places
If you’re someone that gets anxious or overwhelmed by new places, a staycation is a brilliant solution. Plus you know you won’t be too far away from home which can be more comforting.
7. Last minute solutions
If you’re in a rush trying to plan a last minute trip, a staycation is much easier to plan than a trip abroad. Plus, accommodation sites like ours always aim to be flexible and offer something for everyone.
8. Less travel
Travelling less and not as far again means your impact on the environment will be smaller, but also your travel to get to your holiday destination will be cheaper. Another bonus is if you drive, you’ll have your car available when you’re there so you won’t need to pay for public transport.
9. Focus on resting instead of travelling and planning
When we go abroad we often want to see everything we can and fit in as much as possible. If you’re wanting to relax and rest, a staycation is becoming a more popular solution rather than travelling further afield.
