Comments(0) Why Rent An Apartment or Villa For Your Next Holiday?
The Benefits of Apartment & Villa Rental Holidays.
With the children now back at school and the cool chill of shorter autumn days now upon us, your thoughts may already be turning to next summers holiday or perhaps you are looking to get away from the damp and dreary British winter for a few days in sunnier climes.
So once you have drawn up your shortlist of suitable countries where the amount of sunshine and average daily temperature is significantly warmer than Margate or Skegness in January or July, the next most important decision is where to stay. What type of holiday accommodation will be most suitable for you and the family?
Thankfully, the days of the all inclusive package holiday with its rigid 7 or 14 day options, with flights only from Manchester or Luton airport on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays in the month, are for many of us no more than a distant memory which should now be consigned to the 1970’s… With the advent of cheap flights from an increasing number of UK airports to dozens of resorts around Europe, there has never been more choice and flexibility in terms of when and where to go!
From apartments to rent in sunny Spain,villas in France, Cyprus, Turkey,Portugal or Italy, vacation rental properties in Florida, beautiful holiday cottages in Ireland,Scotland,Wales or England or even ski chalets in the French Alps, the Austrian Tyrol or Italian Dolomites, today the world really is one’s oyster!
However despite all of these wonderful choices of destinations, the wrong choice of holiday accommodation can put a real dampener on what should be a time of carefree relaxation under foreign skies, a time to relax and distress from the daily grind in the UK.
For families of more than the typical two parents and two children, and for those who may consider extended winter breaks for example, the typical hotel offering can be very restrictive not to mention the expense!
More and more people are now aware of the many real benefits in renting a holiday home, apartment or villa directly from the owner.
With the advent of holiday home ownership, many owners are looking to create a regular stream of rental income from their investment in the sun and or the ski slopes and so the choice of property available to rent is undoubtedly greater than ever before.
Renting your own holiday apartment in Tenerife or Lanzarote, a holiday villa in Majorca or Menorica or a holiday cottage in Scotland or Wales, gives you so much more flexibility in terms of privacy, sleeping arrangements, and quite simply, being able to do what you want when you want! No more rushing down 6 flights of hotel stairs each morning to make sure you don’t miss breakfast!
It has never been easier to locate holiday apartments and holiday villas to rent and all manner of self catering holiday accommodation anywhere in the world!
The advent of the Internet has given rise to many holiday property rental websites where you can choose in the comfort of your own home, the resort, the time and the type of accommodation which suits you best.

In Cley, the George Hotel welcomes dogs in several of its guest rooms and in half the restaurant area. This is worth a gold star – there is no ‘hygiene’ reason to stop well-behaved dogs going into a restaurants with their families. Full marks to The George for its common sense attitude. The hotel is in the centre of the small village of Cley on one of the best stretches of the North Norfolk coast. The huge skies, acres of colourful saltmarsh and mile-upon-mile of unspoilt beaches are all on the doorstep here.

If you are a pet owner and you want to stay in a country house hotel in Wales, of course you will want to take your dog with you. Here are some hotels where your four legged friend will be welcomed with open arms – or should I say paws? Most will let your dog stay for free, which makes sense. Unfortunately there are sometimes extra charges for your pet’s stay.
Here are some more WiFi hotels where you can take your dog with you. This time I have been checking hotels in Gloucestershire. This is the English county where you have the highest chance of seeing a member of the Royal Family, the county is rural and typifies the image of Britain that most visitors from other countries are seeking.
