Following the coronavirus pandemic, staycations in the UK have seen a boom in popularity. Holiday cottages have been in very high demand in 2020 and all signs so far are that this pattern will continue in to 2021. With competition for the best properties high, booking early can make a lot of sense to avoid disappointment. What’s more, we all need something to look forward to, so thinking about staycation holiday ideas for 2021 sooner rather than later could be a great idea.
Although England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have seen lockdowns with short notice, and certain areas have had lockdown restrictions, many people have still managed to get away and enjoy a staycation holiday in 2020 and have plans to escape for a much needed break in 2021 too. With the situation with the coronavirus outbreak unpredictable, asking holiday home owners and agencies about booking conditions and cancellation policies prior to booking is strongly recommended, as is taking out appropriate holiday cancellation insurance.

Barn Conversions
Converted barns can be a popular choice with families and romantic couples. Usually nestled in idyllic rural locations or on the edge of a village, barn conversions, with exposed beams and stone work can add atmosphere and a cosy feel to your cottage holiday.
Pet-friendly barn conversion in particular can be in high demand, as being a nation of pet-lovers, many UK holidaymakers like to take their pooch away on holiday with them. Also popular are barn conversions with log burners or open fires, for that cosy atmospheric feel. For something truly special look out for barns with country views too. Most rural locations benefit from good local walks too, plus ample country pursuits on offer locally, which can be ideal for those who love to spend time in nature.
