Be your own UK holiday travel agent in 2020

Last year we wanted to go somewhere different in the UK, in a house that could take four adults, and we didn’t want to have to drive anywhere, so the house needed to be central, in a town or village and near to a beach.

Our local UK holiday travel agent threw her hands up in despair and finally found a deal…£3,500 for a fortnight and it didn’t have everything we wanted!

So we did it ourselves.

A little bit of detective work on Airbnb^, then arranging our transport independently meant we could tailor the uk holiday to our specifications and budget. We had exactly what we wanted, for less than half the price and it was fun & rewarding doing it ourselves.

If you can be flexible on dates and destination, book late

The later you leave booking the cheaper it could be.

Why?

Holiday park operators in the UK have many self catering units which they rely on filling in the peak season. And uk holidays 2020 will see even more choice on the market as businesses look to capitalize on the low pound and Brexit meaning more people will look to holiday in the UK.

As the holiday date gets closer the prices start to fall – it’s better for the holiday park operator to get some money than none at all.

If you’re able to holiday at the drop of a hat, literally anywhere in the UK, the savings can be quite substantial, and you get an adventure as well as a bargain.
