The Ultimate holiday booking checklist for the UK
Are you planning a self-catering holiday in the UK? Booking a holiday cottage can be an exciting experience, but it's essential to ensure that you find the perfect place that meets all your needs.
To make your booking process easier, we've put together a comprehensive checklist of things to look out for when choosing a self-catering holiday cottage like Seaborne House.
Holiday Home Essentials:
1. Amenities:
Check if the cottage provides essential amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, Wi-Fi, and entertainment options like a football table and TV.
2. Space and Layout:
Consider the size of the cottage and the number of rooms. The last thing you want to do is book a holiday home with barely enough space for your guests. Here at Seaborne House, we have room for 10 plus a little one in a cot, so you won’t have that problem with us.
3. Cleanliness and Maintenance:
Look for reviews or testimonials to ensure that the cottage is well-maintained, clean, and free from any issues that could impact your stay. A holiday rental should be fully cleaned after each and every guest stays.
4. Outdoor Space:
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, check if the cottage has a garden or patio area for relaxation or outdoor activities.
5. A hot tub!
Ok, so we admit this isn’t essential, but it definitely makes your holiday better! This is why we’ve always had a hot tub at Seaborne House. It’s the perfect place for fun or relaxing, whether you’re 6 or 60!
5. Luxury items to make your holiday perfect
Again, this UK holiday checklist item definitely isn’t essential but it makes a world of difference. At Seaborne we have luxury items like coffee makers, a coffee bean grinder and a dishwasher. You could settle for a kettle and a sink, but after all, you’re on holiday so you might as well enjoy yourself!
Location Essentials:
1. Proximity to Attractions:
Consider the proximity of the cottage to the places you want to explore, such as beaches, hiking trails, historical sites, or local attractions. Even if you plan to stay at the holiday cottage most of the time, being close by to things is ideal!
2. Local Amenities:
Check if there are nearby amenities such as shops, restaurants, and public transportation options to make your stay convenient.
3. Safety and Security:
Research the safety of the area and ensure that the cottage has appropriate security measures in place, such as lockable doors and windows.
4. There’s plenty to do for all guests!
Whether you’re travelling with small kids or you’re a party full of adults, making sure there’s something that everybody will enjoy is essential for the perfect holiday. Luckily, at Seaborne House you’re close by to nature, history, culture and even adventure spots!
