The Rising Interest in Self Catering Holidays

With the rising costs in many countries in Europe there is a surge in interest in self catering holidays throughout the UK, with holidays booked for Europe this summer increasing in cost as the days go by. The holiday that was booked last year with the idea of long sunny afternoons sat in the beach bar drinking cheap booze are long gone....

So what are people going to be doing this year? January is traditionally the busiest time of year for anyone in the holiday industry and despite the fact that there is a global credit crunch the majority of people are not going to give up their main family holiday, they are just looking for ways to cut the costs down, and the second and third trips will be closer to home, a cottage in Wales for the Easter Half Term period or a weekend by the seaside at one of Dorset's fabulous resorts for example.

There is an increasing popularity in self catering holidays, as this allows many holiday makers to budget for their annual family holiday, self catering is a home away from home, and gives you the luxury of staying in some of the worlds best resorts at a fraction of the price that a hotel would cost you and your family. Self Catering holidays allow you to experience beautiful homes in beautiful places, and it doesn't mean that you have to stay in all the time, booking a self catering holiday allows you the freedom to come and go from your holiday accommodation as you please, save money on eating out and your evening's entertainments.

And one of the growing phenomena's of self catering holidays is the rise of booking the accommodation direct from the properties owner, an up and coming company in this sector is Self Property Rental, an international company that offers holiday rentals direct from the owner from all over the world.

Speaking to managing director Mr Daryl Self, he explains that the rise of his company is due to the popularity of self catering holidays, "people that go on holiday want to have the option to do what they want, and to save some money, for instance there are a number of properties available on Self Property Rental that are ideal for large parties and family groups, by sharing the cost between you it really takes the cost of your holiday down, as an example we have a 5 bedroom villa available on the beautiful island of Menorca, that sleeps up to 12 people, for peak season you can rent this villa direct from the owner for £1900, divide that by twelve and that is just £158 per person to stay in superb accommodation at the height of the season".

When booking your summer holiday this year, think about all the options that are available and you can grab a bargain direct from the owner for some great holiday properties available both here in the UK and in Europe and the rest of the world.
