Self Catering is quickly increasing in popularity, and it’s easy to see why! Compared to staying in a hotel, renting a serviced apartment, holiday cottage or townhouse can have many advantages over traditional hotels and guest houses.

Here are our top 5 reasons to pick self catering.

Hassle-free

Staying in hotels often means lengthy check-in procedures, endless paperwork, and sometimes even finding out the hotel has been overbooked when you arrive. Harrogate Holidays eliminates the ‘Basil Faulty’ and takes out the key hassles and stresses out of staying away.

Nothing to disturb your lie in

No early morning wake-up calls from the chambermaid when you want a romantic lie in. Stay in bed until lunchtime if you like – it’s your home from home!

Your own fridge!

...and your own kitchen too, for that matter! While staying away you no longer have to eat every meal out. Self-catering accommodation gives you a fridge, not a mini bar, so you can chill your bottle of Sauvignon Blanc without trying to fit it between the miniature cans of tonic. Maybe have a summer barbeque outside as many properties have their own patios and gardens even in the town centre.

Don’t want to cook? Even better! Without being tied to the hotel restaurant you can try Harrogate’s finest dining with our personal recommendations.

Free WiFi

£10 extra a night? Putting your credit card details into a questionably secure intranet? No thank you! Most self-catering holiday apartments have free broadband WiFi provided, so you can surf the web with no limits at any time.

Personal Space

Stay in a suite for less than the cost of a hotel bedroom, most apartments and cottages have at least one TV if not more, a DVD and often a games console free of charge. Many self catering units have books and games for your use too. Take the opportunity to play a board game or two. At Christmas you can make your property your own. Lots of places will even put up a Christmas tree for you to put your pressies round.

Harrogate Holidays tries to make your stay as special as possible, hopefully with our help you will use Harrogate self catering accommodation more...
