Choose a midweek break – and get 4 nights for the price of 3!
Looking for a short break? Did you know that a three-night break Monday-Thursday often works out cheaper than the more popular Friday-Monday prices? Plus, currently you can get 4 nights for the price of 3 on Monday check-ins, available on selected properties on stays until 28th October. So, if you’re not restricted to weekends, look at the earlier part of the week and you might just bag yourself that upgrade.
Sharing with another family is a great way to save money on your holiday. The prices you see are for your whole party for the duration of your stay – so you get to split the cost. You get the whole place, not just a bedroom, and you can relax in your own space. We’re loving this Georgian manor house in Lincolnshire, set in its own private grounds, complete with hot tub, heated swimming pool and tennis court. This works out just £30 per person per night based on 12 sharing for seven nights!*
You can always be safe in the knowledge that every one of our holiday homes is up to our exacting quality standards, as our team of experts personally inspects every property in our range – and gives a tick rating to indicate the level of luxury and amenities: the more ticks, the more luxurious! So, if you’re on a budget, why not look at our more basic, two or three tick rated properties?
Do you usually return to the same tourist hotspot time and time again? Try looking at less popular areas and discover new destinations offering incredible experiences, only with a smaller price tag! The Peak District, the Brecon Beacons, coastal areas of Suffolk and the Scottish Highlands are just a few places in the UK that offer great value for money. Where will you explore next?
Once you’ve arrived and unpacked, use your holiday home to its full advantage and choose to eat in to save money on meal options. Many of our properties have well-equipped kitchens, so cook something special in your own time, have BBQs on the patio, picnics in the garden and prepare a packed lunch before heading out for the day.
