Self Catering Holidays

Self-catering holidays have become highly popular and offer a home away from home feel for many guests. With more flexibility and the ability to come and go as you please, it’s easy to see why self-catering has become the preferred option for many couples, business travelers, and families. When it comes to self-catering, it’s important you choose somewhere that has everything you’ll need to enjoy your break and one that is central to a main city or town.

Self-catering is essentially renting a full property for a very short period of time, typically a few days to a couple of weeks. Properties will come with essentials such as cooking equipment, and you’ll just need to bring things such as clothing, food, and toiletries. Hargate Hall is a local self-catering venue, situated near Buxton and right in the heart of The Peak District National Park.

How To Enjoy Your Self Catering Break

When using self-catering accommodation, there are several things to check out to ensure you’re making the most of your stay in the local area. Some of these are:

  • Markets: If the nearby towns have markets, be sure to check them out if they are on during your stay.
  • Shopping: Many smaller towns have local boutiques and quirky shops you won’t find on the traditional high street.
  • Food and Drink: Whether it’s eating in or taking away, be sure to check out some of the local cafes, takeaways, restaurants, and pubs.
  • Activities: See what’s available to see and do in the local area, and try to test out something new like horse riding or fishing.
  • Think Like A Local: If you’re heading to a tourist trap, prices might be inflated in major supermarkets. Instead, check out where the locals shop or ask around for the best places to visit during your stay.
