- Find Budget Holiday Cottages in Suffolk
Self-catering cottages in Suffolk can be a great option if you have limited finances and need to save cash. Although you have to cook your own breakfasts, lunches and dinners (if eating in) at a holiday house, self-catering accommodation does offer you the facility of being able to cook and eat at your home from home. Cooking for yourself and your family or partner can save on restaurant bills which can really stack up when holidaying, particularly for those holidaying with children. And children always want snacks and treats which you can take on holiday with you.
For those really serious about saving you can prepare packed lunches at your home from home so you needn’t even pay for lunches when out and about touring Suffolk.
If you don’t mind cosying up, some holiday cottages have sofa beds in lounges which mean that you can rent a smaller holiday house with fewer bedrooms but still have enough room for all of your party. Although not ideal in terms of space, this option can really help keep costs down as renting a 2 bedroom rather than a 3 bedroom cottage for example is usually a far cheaper option. Check maximum numbers that holiday homes can accommodate and that there is enough room for all of your party and that the owner or agency is happy with the number of people staying before booking to make sure that you book the right budget Suffolk cottage for you.
If you have the flexibility to holiday out of peak season in Suffolk, which usually means taking a break outside of school holidays, this can really help you to save cash. School holidays and Christmas and New Year tend to be the most expensive times of year to rent a holiday cottage in East Anglia. Rather than taking a Christmas or New Year break, why not get away just before or after these peak periods? By doing this you could really save. You may well be lucky and find special offers or late deals available for these times of year too as holiday cottages are far less in demand outside of peak season.
If you must holiday in high season and can’t find a Suffolk holiday cottage in budget, you could leave things to the last minute and look out for late deals and special offers where owners cut their prices or are willing to negotiate on prices when they haven’t booked their holiday cottage up for peak season. Waiting and looking out for last minute breaks can be risky as there may be very limited choice available and may mean that you have to holiday in a different area than you originally planned (for example you may want to holiday in Suffolk but may need to consider other options such as nearby Norfolk or Essex in East Anglia if you want to find a good last minute deal). There is also always the risk that you might not find a suitable holiday cottage at all if you leave it right until the last minute, but people can usually find somewhere to stay although it may well not be in your desired location of Suffolk.
