Sykes Holiday Cottages are here to share their top tips on preparing for the perfect holiday.
There are many factors to consider when preparing for an escape with your loved ones. From ensuring you have everything you need, to choosing a destination that suits everyone’s needs. Every family is different, that’s why we offer a wide variety of properties catering to all needs.
Discover Sykes’ essential hacks for preparing for your next escape…
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Before choosing a type of accommodation, consider where you want to go. We have a range of cottages across the UK and Ireland (and even New Zealand!). Where will be best tailored to your family?
While Snowdonia National Park is best known for its array of walking opportunities, the Cornish coast is a firm favourite amongst holidaymakers for its idyllic surroundings and beautiful beaches. A weekend spent walking in Fowey is also a great way to spend your escape.
Think of the type of holiday you’re in pursuit of and take it from there! Whether this is an activity holiday, relaxing retreat, or a property with a difference. There’s something for everyone.
PICK YOUR PROPERTY
Sykes Holiday Cottages is proud to offer over 22,000 self-catering properties. Each property boasts its own unique features and quirky characteristics.
If you’re seeking to escape in the winter, a property with a woodburning stove makes a great way to create a cosy aura. A summer escape wouldn’t be complete without your very own pool, or why not choose a property with a large garden so you can make the most of your outdoors toys amidst the fresh breeze of the countryside?
Many cottages are equipped with child-friendly facilities too, while you’ll find plenty of pet-friendly abodes so the whole family can enjoy a well-deserved break.
THE ESSENTIALS
Come prepared. Even if you’re staying in a self-catering cottage, it’s important to ensure that you have all you could need to make your holiday a breeze.
Have you compiled a list of your travel essentials? A packing checklist is a perfect way to ensure you’ve got everything needed for a stress-free stay. Think about:
Swimwear for that much-anticipated beach holiday
Winter warmers such as thermals and base layers
Snow and ski wear. A trip to Scotland wouldn’t be complete without visiting Glenshee.
Rucksacks and backpacks - to keep all your essentials safe!
Sykes have created a checklist so that you don’t have to! Simply print it off and tick off all.
So, no matter where you’re choosing to staycation, you’re sure to be prepared with these few simple steps. Discover your next self-catering adventure with Sykes Holiday Cottages.
