There really is no place like home, and Britain is a great place for a holiday, especially when exploring the beautiful canals and waterways with a luxury boat holiday. However, with such incredible waterways on our doorstep, you don't need to take to a boat to enjoy the scenery.
Instead of a beach holiday, why not consider staying in a riverside cottage where you can sit back, relax and watch the world go by without moving an inch unless you want to of course!
Everyone loves taking a holiday, but not everyone likes the thought of going abroad. Many more people are finding that taking a staycation in Britain is far more rejuvenating than going through all the hassle of booking flights, waiting around at airports and going through customs checks at both ends of their holiday.
What's the point of going on holiday if you end up feeling like you haven't had a well-deserved rest? Why not cut out all the extra hassle of going abroad and choose to stay in a peaceful riverside cottage, such as our very own Waterside Holiday Cottage that is set within a working boatyard in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.
More than riverside scenery
If you fancy a different holiday experience, then you can get the best of both worlds by staying in our 3-4 star riverside cottage with beautiful views and a pretty garden to enjoy. The cottage is ideally placed to watch the boatyard activities as well as all the comings and goings of passing boats on the water.
The cottage is only a short 20-minute walk to a lovely selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. There are also plenty of interesting places to explore nearby, so you won't be stuck for things to do.
A stay in our riverside cottage makes for an excellent staycation because you get to say goodbye to your home for a while and go have a fun adventure without leaving the country. You can forget about all the planning you need for a trip overseas, plus you still get to discover new places you never knew existed before and grow a new appreciation for what is right on your own doorstep.
Save money with a riverside holiday
With everyone's wallet or purse strings being a bit tight at the moment, the most obvious benefit of taking a staycation in our Waterside Cottage is that you don't need to spend any money on things like plane tickets, airport parking for your car, taxi fees or rental car charges while abroad.
You can even save money not having to eat out all the time unless you want to. Most overseas hotels don't come with kitchens so you have no choice but to use the hotel restaurant or eat out for every meal.
With our relaxing and comfortable riverside cottage, you get a fully equipped kitchen so you can choose to shop and cook for yourself if you want to – or take advantage of the many local eateries that offer fantastic freshly cooked meals. What could be better than eating some lovely local produce in your cottage garden while watching some boats float by? You will be able to wave to the friendly boat captains and watch the local wildlife go about its business.
Saving up for your holiday can be a stressful thing, especially when you need to factor in flight taxes and all the other hidden charges that you don't get by taking a staycation. It can cost families thousands of pound for a holiday abroad, but you can save money and avoid all that stress by taking a staycation in our riverside cottage.
