Budget Holiday in UK

May 8th, 2011 posted by admin

Given the times of gloom and doom (economically) that we are living in, with stock market soothsayers predicting a double dip recession in 2011 or 2012, it is quite natural if you want to watch your spending so that you have plenty of money laid by for a rainy day. But just because you are trying to cut down on what economists call discretionary spending does not mean that you have to stop having fun.

Now that the William Kate wedding is over, overall prices of travel and lodging has gone down quite a bit, which means that you will not have to spend a bomb. London is still a very expensive city to visit, but the rest of UK is still quite reasonable, in terms of price. Just follow these suggestions while planning your vacation to UK, and you will find it simple to do all the things that you want to do without breaking your budget.

1. Affordable Travel Options

The UK’s capital, London, has very good international connectivity with 6 airports. So book your seats on coach or a low cost airline. Ryan Air is generally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and they offer good early bird discounts as well, so book your seats as soon as you can. From London, you can take a train to whatever location you want to visit at a very reasonable rate, thus avoiding spending too much money on air travel and enjoying the beautiful English countryside scenery in the bargain.

For those of you with a little more money but wanted to stick to a fixed cost, there are some great cruise deals out there where everything is included, bed board and entertainment. These generally will move across the whole of Europe, and if you catch them last minute, you will be surprised at how cheap a good cruise can be once you take into account that it is fixed cost!

2. Affordable Lodging options

Instead of booking yourself into a 5 star hotel, try renting out a self service cottage in the countryside. If you are the outdoorsy type, then you might consider a campsite in the beautiful English or Welsh countryside. The weather at this time of the year is simply unbelievable.
