Over the last couple of years, there has been a revolution in holidaying in the UK and more and more people are taking a staycation.  Although a staycation has been traditionally thought of as a holiday in your actual home with perhaps a few day trips, this phrase is now widely being used to refer to travelling all over the UK instead of going abroad. With the rise of a staycation then the sale of motorhomes has boomed. Let's have a look at the benefits of buying a motorhome, and specifically a Bailey of Bristol motorhome. This is an advertorial in conjunction with Bailey of Bristol.

The Boom In Staycations

The boom in staycations has seen many people holidaying in the UK. So why has this happened? This has happened due to restrictions on travelling abroad due to the pandemic. Is it something to be sad about though? The UK is a beautiful and green island and these restrictions have meant that many people are exploring the country that they live in and really getting to know it, rather than going abroad. This has meant that motorhome holidays have been more popular than ever before, but what is a motorhome?

What Is A Motorhome?

The Benefits Of A Motorhome

Of course, the main benefit of owning a motorhome is that you have a home with you. No need to book a hotel or bed and breakfast anywhere you travel. You park your motorhome in a designated park and you have everything you need. Modern motorhomes have toilets and showers in the vehicle as well as cooking facilities and have high specifications 

Another benefit is that, after the original outlay, you have a cost-effective way of travelling. If you are a remote worker or are retired, you can be in a different place every day. Great for those of us that like to explore.

Even though I talked about staycations in the UK, you can also take your motorhome abroad, just drive onto the ferry or take the Eurotunnel and you can explore Europe in your motorhome and have a little of your home comforts with you.

Motorhomes are great for impulse breaks too, so if you fancy a weekend away just take your motorhome and drive it to the nearest touring park. No need to book a hotel, although in high season you may need to check that there is space available at a site. 

Motorhomes are really great if you have pets too as you can take them with you, without the need for getting a pet sitter or putting your cat in a cattery or dog in a kennel.
