Abroad vs Staycation - 7 reasons to stay at Partington's

Blog Post

Whether it’s the summer holidays, a half term break, or even a weekend getaway, we all want to make the most of our free time with a trip away. However, while many of us instantly think of booking flights abroad to our next holiday destination, we often overlook the idea of a Staycation.

Staying in the UK instead of travelling abroad has a number of benefits, especially when considering spending your break at a Partington’s Holiday Park!

Here are 7 reasons why a Partington’s Staycation could be for you:

1. Cost

With the cost of living increasing, we’re all becoming more aware of what we’re spending. In 2018, the average family of four spent around £3,800 for a 10-night holiday abroad (Source: Nimble Fins). From flights, accommodation and transport, to meals, activities and spending money, it seems like the costs are endless.

By taking a Staycation instead, the costs are reduced drastically. A 2 week break at one of our Partington’s Holiday Parks for a family of four starts from under £300.00 with a variety of fantastic facilities and entertainment on-site for all the family, as well as exciting locations nearby to explore, there’s no doubt you’ll avoid the risk of overspending. By cutting out a big chunk of the holiday costs like pricey hotels and flights, you can save money without having to skrimp on those moments that make your break memorable.

2. Eco-friendly

As well as economical costs, we’re all increasingly considering our individual impact on the planet. It’s no secret that travelling by airplane isn’t the best for the climate, with the aviation industry contributing about 2% of the world's global carbon emissions. By staying in the same country and travelling a much shorter distance by car, bus or train, you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint and doing your bit for the planet.

And by spending your holiday with Partington’s, you know you’ll be guaranteed a Sustainable Staycation! Whether you’re enjoying a stay in one of our Anthropods at Black Beck or having a picnic on one of our 100% recycled outdoor tables, you can be sure your time at any of our Holiday Parks will be fun-filled and eco-friendly.

3. Less Stress

While we all love to relax under the sun and take a dip in the pool, travelling abroad can be more stressful than it’s worth. From the painful planning process to navigating busy airports, there’s always lots to think about before you even arrive at your destination. Staycation’s are the perfect way to enjoy your holiday without all that added stress.

With Partington’s simple online booking and helpful Customer Service Team, planning your trip is a quick and easy process that will get you in holiday mode in no time. No more passport panic, delayed flights or language barriers, just head to one of our Parks and enjoy your stay!

4. Time

No one wants to spend hours travelling on a cramped airplane, and by the time you reach the airport, having to pick up your rental car or get to your accommodation by public transport is the last thing you want to do. And with destinations further afield, it can take days to adjust to the jet lag before you fully get out and about.

By taking a Staycation, it means less time travelling and more time to unwinding! With 5 fun-filled Holiday Parks across the North West, you’re able to choose a Partington’s destination that fits your travel preferences, so you can dedicate more time to making memories with the ones you love.

5. Explore beauty of UK

While the stunning scenery of Spain, Greece and Portugal are unquestionable, many of us forget that there’s a multitude of lovely areas right here in the UK. From beautiful beaches, historic towns and peaceful countryside, you can be sure there’s a Great British holiday destination perfect for you.

At Partington’s, each of our Parks offer a unique slice of beauty. With Black Beck located in the spectacular Lake District, Windy Harbour overlooking the peaceful River Wyre, Tarn House surrounded by the breath-taking Yorkshire countryside and Newton Hall and Broadwater located in the historical seaside towns of Blackpool and Fleetwood, you’re guaranteed stunning surroundings wherever you go.

6. Packing

One of the most frustrating aspects of holidays abroad is the packing. Trying to decide what to pack last minute while keeping within the baggage allowance is a task no one wants to face. But with a Staycation, you can pack as much as you want without having to worry about weight restrictions or paying more for extra bags.

Whether it’s a football, surfboard or even your bicycle, if you can carry it, you can bring it! Whatever your holiday plans, you can be sure that you won’t be restricted to just what you can fit into your suitcase.

7. Pet-friendly accommodation

Whether you’re taking them to a kennel or leaving them with a dog sitter, going on a holiday abroad without our four-legged friends is always difficult. By choosing a location in the UK, your canine companion can accompany you on your trip and share the experience with you!

Dogs are welcome at all 5 of our Partington’s Holiday Parks, with pet-friendly accommodation available so that whole family can enjoy their stay and make lifelong memories.

Whether it’s to save you time, money or stress, you can guarantee that a Staycation will provide you with all the joy of a holiday abroad, without the added restrictions. With all these reasons and many more, why not give a Partington’s Staycation a try?
