Why choose self-catering accommodation?

So you’ve decided… you’re going on holiday. Yay! You’ve picked a location everyone agrees on, but now for the next question, where to stay – self-catering accommodation or a hotel?

Excitement is running high, you’ve started a WhatsApp ‘holiday’ group and you have visions of your upcoming adventure in your sights. 

Your holiday accommodation can make or break your getaway (no pressure then!).

It’s worth taking some time to do your research and work out what’s right for you and your travelling companions.

What is self-catering accommodation?

Self-catering accommodation is different to a hotel stay. 

Hotel rooms are typically made up of a bedroom and bathroom. Hotels can be great for convenience and tend to have more on-site amenities, such as restaurants, bars and sometimes a gym.

Self-catering accommodation is usually in the style of an apartment and offers more of a home from home experience. For example, at The Salisbury and 25 Newborough by Stay in Scarborough you will find fully-fitted kitchens and open plan lounge space in addition to the bedroom(s) and bathroom in your apartment.

What are the benefits of a self-catering style holiday?

Space

OK, you might not be doing cartwheels, but with an open plan lounge, fully-fitted kitchen and dining area – you can spread out.

Freedom

Be as free as a bird! No need to get up in time for breakfast. You can lay in, eat when you want, start your day on your own terms and follow your itinerary.

Home comforts

Curl up with a cuppa on the sofa, prepare your favourite meal in the kitchen, store your tipple of choice in the fridge, need ice – no problem! Apartments can have more of a familiar and homely feel.

Value for money

Self-catering accommodation can be more cost effective than hotels, especially if you need more than one room. Plus eating out can get expensive, so with our fully-fitted kitchens you can choose to save and cook your own delicious meals.

 Family-friendly

Apartments are great for families and when it’s time for the little ones to go to bed, you can tuck them up in their own room and head to the lounge to enjoy your evening.
