Whether you are taking a short trip or a long vacation, it’s best to really research the type of accommodation you are going for. Research can reveal a bad choice for your circumstances before booking and can also open your eyes to a world of accommodation options you may never have considered. Here is a list of some of the more popular accommodation categories and how they would fit in best with your holiday circumstances:
- Yurts – Camping has come a long way from finding a clearing in the woods and taking two hours to pitch a tent, camping has become glamorous. A luxury yurt often offers all of the comforts of home, including raised sleeping areas, luxury bedding, indoor stove and even plumbing! Yurts are often open planned so could be good for a couple or young family but no so great if there are any members of the group that appreciate their privacy.
- Holiday Cottages – Renting a cottage can be great for families, couples or groups of friends. They are generally out in the country in scenic areas which makes for a great relaxing getaway. Highland cottages from scottish-cottages.co.uk give you a lot of opportunity to get back to nature but would not be a great holiday option for people looking to enjoy nightlife.
- Holiday Villa – Villas are great for young families looking for their own private piece of holiday paradise. Generally villas are time share and can be fairly cheap if you look in the right places. Villas are also a really good idea for groups of friends that would prefer their privacy as there are often multiple bedrooms.
- Hotels – Hotels are the go to accommodation type for most people but do not make the mistake of thinking every hotel is the same. Make sure they can accommodate your group fully and offer everything you need in terms of distance from destinations of interest as well as major travel routes etc.
