The last few years\u00a0 have been a little turbulent for travellers and holiday makers. And now as we look towards the summer months, there are still some uncertainties around international travel in terms of vaccine status, mask wearing and locating forms with announcements on changes coming daily.\u00a0So, why not avoid all that worry by opting for a summer staycation instead?<\/p>\n

\n

What\u2019s a staycation?<\/h3>\n

\"What\u2019s<\/p>\n

A staycation is a combination of the words \u201cstay\u201d and \u201cvacation\u201d; and it simply means to spend a holiday in your home country rather than going abroad. If you haven\u2019t heard of a staycation before now, you most certainly will this year; there\u2019s been a rise in the popularity of staycations due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

\n

Choosing your summer accommodation<\/h3>\n

\"Choosing<\/p>\n

With demand for summer accommodation in the UK already soaring, availability for the key summer months is set to be limited. Therefore, the sooner you can secure your accommodation, the better.<\/p>\n

So, what are your accommodation options? A campsite, a holiday park, a hotel or an Airbnb? Yes, these are all common choices, but what about student accommodation?<\/p>\n

\n

Staying in student accommodation for summer<\/h3>\n

\"Staying<\/p>\n

This option may not have even crossed your mind, or perhaps you didn\u2019t know that you could stay in student accommodation. However, due to the benefits that come with staying in student accommodation – such as that offered by Host, it\u2019s become an increasingly popular choice for many.<\/p>\n

So, what are the benefits? Below are just some of the reasons why so many choose to stay with Host for their summer stays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

1. Flexibility:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From down South in Plymouth and up North in Liverpool, to the Capital of England and the Capital of Wales, we have summer accommodation available across the UK. The hardest decision will be choosing which city to visit first.<\/p>\n

And whether you need somewhere to stay for a few days or a few weeks, with short and long term stays available, stay with us for the duration of your trip.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget it\u2019s not just students who can stay in student accommodation for summer; non-students can too. As well as individual bookings, we also take group bookings too. So, whether you\u2019re travelling alone for business, taking a family trip or getting away with friends, we have a place for you.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Affordability:<\/h3>\n

\"Affordability\"<\/p>\n

With staycations set to be this summer\u2019s trend, accommodation prices are already soaring. But why pay a fortune when you don\u2019t need to?<\/p>\n

Our summer accommodation offers great value for money, with low-cost weekly rates; some properties also offer nightly rates. The cost to stay with us for a week can be lower than the average cost of one night in a city centre hotel.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Quality:<\/h3>\n

\"Quality\"<\/p>\n

Step inside our student accommodation and we think you\u2019ll be surprised at what\u2019s waiting for you. Long gone are the days of dark, dreary and run-down student dorms. Our buildings are modern, bright, clean and all furnished to a high quality.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, you\u2019ll find most of our properties come equipped with social spaces for you to relax and have fun in. From on-site gyms and common rooms to games tables and outdoor spaces, there\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Convenience:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With student accommodation\u2019s main purpose being to house students, it means that the buildings are all located within close proximity of universities and city centres. So, if you\u2019re taking a city break, you couldn\u2019t be better located.<\/p>\n

Fancy a bit of sightseeing? Our properties are all within walking distance of popular landmarks and tourist hotspots. And when it\u2019s time to refuel, you\u2019ll find all the local bars, restaurants and entertainment outlets close by too.<\/p>\n

And with our properties being in major university towns and cities, you\u2019ll find yourself well connected. With bus and train stations all nearby, getting to us and exploring the local area won\u2019t be a problem.<\/p>\n
