5 Different Ideas for a Staycation This Year

The pandemic has forced most people to stay in the United Kingdom. However, we all still desperately need a holiday. As a result, people have opted for a ‘staycation’ this year. A staycation is a holiday in your own country. Though this sounds a little uninspiring to those who frequently visit the Mediterranean, there are actually a lot of brilliant things to do and lovely places to visit in the UK. If you’re feeling a little dubious, then let us convince you otherwise. So, read on to find out X different ideas for a staycation in the United Kingdom whilst we’re amid a pandemic.

1.) Campervan Trip

One of the best types of holiday for a staycation is a campervan trip. Firstly, you can go wherever you want and be entirely self-sufficient. Secondly, you don’t have to pay for accommodation fees to stay in different areas across the country. Thirdly, you can limit your social interaction whilst campervanning (which is important during the pandemic). Finally, nothing beats a good old-fashioned road trip.

2.) Go Camping

Camping is the perfect holiday for adventure lovers, especially in the United Kingdom. The country is filled with beautiful forests, epic landscapes, and stunning coastlines. We highly recommend bringing your hiking books along and trekking across the West Highland Way. Though camping holidays aren’t for the faint-hearted, they are still a lot of fun regardless.

3.) Barge Holiday

Instead of traveling across the land, why don’t you rent out a barge instead and go sailing across some of the most beautiful canals in the UK? If you didn’t know already, a barge is a type of boat that also functions as a home. It’s basically the water version of a camper van. If you fancy a swashbuckling adventure, this is perfect for you. Being on a barge also means you’re limiting your social interaction with other people.

4.) Holiday Lodge

We’ve mainly spoken about intensive holidays in this article, so let’s move onto something a little more low key. If you want a proper rest and relax, then why don’t you hire out a holiday lodge? These cottages are incredibly cosy, tucked away in the most breathing taking parts of the United Kingdom. For instance, you can easily find lodges by the lochs in Scotland or quaint beach chalets in Cornwall. Whatever location you fancy, really.

5.) Glamping

If you need a breath of fresh air but don’t want to go camping, then glamping might be the perfect option for you. You get a hot shower, cosy bedroom, warm accommodation, and yet you’re still surrounded by nature. There are plenty of holiday providers in the UK who offer glamping. For those who want a quick weekend getaway, this is definitely worth doing.

These are some of our best holiday ideas for a staycation in 2020/2024. Hopefully, you have found something you fancy doing on this list.
