From visiting some of the world’s top attractions to relaxing in your own private luxury lodge with a hot tub, here are 5 reasons why it might be an idea to scrap going abroad this year, and set your sights on a staycation in Cornwall!
1. Save your money!
Holidays abroad can be pretty expensive, as well as time consuming. The beauty of staying somewhere in the UK and removing flights from the budget, means you can most likely save yourself a decent chunk of change. Plus, with no price increases this year, a low deposit, and 10% OFF any holiday here at Meadow Lakes – you can’t go wrong!
2. Save the hassle
Between trying to get the time off of work, booking flights, worrying over what to pack, battling with the chaos of the airport and spending hours on end in transit, the stress of travel can sometimes defeat the purpose of a holiday. On a staycation, stress levels are, (thankfully), much lower, so you can get to enjoying your break much sooner! Take the glorious Cornish Countryside, leave your problems back at home, and allow yourself to truly savour your time away…
3. Discover your country
Cornwall is brimming with incredible attractions waiting for you to explore, such as the Eden Project (only 20 mins from Meadow Lakes) and the world famous Lost Gardens of Heligan. There’s restaurants to try, destinations to see, beaches to explore, boutique shops to discover, coastal trails to conquer… Instead of leaving them unexplored, a staycation allows you to invest in your own country and discover amazing things you never knew were right on your doorstep.
4. Quality time together
Sometimes, life get’s so busy that you realise you’ve not spent much time together as a family, including your family pooch! So get yourself and the kids off their phones, grab your suitcases and escape to the great outdoors! There’s so much to do here on park and close by. Take a long nap, jump in the pool, take a walk together, explore the woodlands and lakes on park, read in the hot tub… A staycation is an excuse for everyone to recharge your batteries without feeling guilty for it. It’s also a great time to explore that hobby you never seem to have time for – knitting, playing guitar, drawing, or just eating lots of yummy local food! Sometimes, all we need is a place to escape to and some peace and quiet to feel like you again.
5. Support your economy
When you choose to travel within your own country, you’re actively aiding local businesses and communities, and you can do this in various ways. For instance, dining at the local restaurants, and buying from nearby markets and shops – whether that’s the essentials or souvenirs – you’ll be directly fuelling the local economy. You’ll also be contributing to job creation, whilst supporting the livelihoods of local residents too! Furthermore, by engaging with the local cultural experiences, you’re helping to preserve the unique traditions and identity of the community. So, when you plan your next holiday, remember, choosing a local destination means more than just a trip – it’s about making a positive impact too!
