FIVE REASONS TO HAVE AN NI STAYCATION THIS YEAR
You work hard all year, you’re tired of your consistent routine and you’re in need of a little break to reset, recharge and rejuvenate. We get it! It’s time to book your holiday. Now of course, we understand that the world is a big and beautiful place. You have an abundance of choice when it comes to choosing your destination. You may be in search of beautiful sandy beaches, mouth watering food in high quality restaurants and perhaps you have a house full of kids that need entertainment on your getaway. Well search no further, we may just have you covered. And what if we told you, you didn’t have to leave your own country?
At DB Stays, we’re big fans of a staycation. Mostly because we know that a holiday can be made even more wonderful if it’s closer to home. Here’s our top five reasons to stay put this season.
NATURAL BEAUTY IN ABUNDANCE
First up, if you’re a nature lover, Northern Ireland is serving breathtaking beauty on a platter, all year ‘round. When it comes to beaches, we have it all. In fact, in the last year, seven Northern Irish beaches made The Times’ Top 50 Beaches in the UK list. These included Benone, Portrush East Strand and Portstewart Strand, all a stone throw from our DB Stays apartments. As well as that, the Antrim Coast and Glens is a globally recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and we totally understand why. With valleys and greens, cliffs and rolling hills for miles, hugging the stunning coastline, you’ll be mesmerised every moment of your journey. We don’t have to travel far for glittering seas, magical mountains and awe-inspiring views. We have it all right here.
USE YOUR FREE TIME WISELY
I don’t know about you, but packing up for a trip on your own, with your partner or with a car full of chatty kids is definitely difficult enough, without having to navigate airports, security lines and plane journeys that last, what feels like, a lifetime! Not only do you save on the stress of that whirlwind, you also save on hours of travel time. We know that getting time off from work is precious and every moment should count. So why not stay in Northern Ireland and cut out some of that wasted energy? You’ll also cut out other time wasters like flight delays and jet lag!
SAVE THE PENNIES
Staycations are proven to be a lot more cost effective than holidays abroad. First up, you’ll save money on pricey flights and minimise the chance of delays or setbacks. Secondly! You’ll have the chance to use your own car and not have to worry about hiring one in a different country. Thirdly, if you choose self catering accommodation (like we have on offer at DB Stays!), you’ll be able to spend the same money you would have normally on food in your own home. You’ll not have to worry about how much things are, eating out if you don’t want to and navigating a different currency. You’ll stay right on track in the shops you know well.
BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY
One of our favourite reasons for favouring a staycation is the fact that they are so much more accessible for members of your family or friends. It’s much easier for your loved ones to join you on a getaway that is accessible via car or public transport, than it is via plane. As well as this, you can have the option of bringing your pet with you, super easily! Northern Ireland offers lots of opportunities for pets to enjoy a holiday just as much as their owners, and like two of our apartments at DB Stays, lots of places offer pet-friendly accommodation. We know just how precious our pets can be and we love to see a fluffy companion join us at DB Stays!
BASK IN THE FLEXIBILITY
Staycation holidays are often a lot more flexible than package holidays or pre-booked stays abroad. When you’re not far from home, you can truly relax into your stay, knowing that you have all year to explore if you really want to. Stay another night if you feel inspired and don’t feel the pressure to tick off every sight-seeing opportunity in one week! When you holiday at home, you’ve got more than enough time to unearth your country’s beauty, meaning you can truly relax and let go of the holiday-pressure to see, do and experience every facet of a place. So many of our guests at DB Stays use the opportunity to fully relax without the pressure of discovering the nuances of a new city or country. They can lie back in our bubbling hot tub and savour every moment, without the guilt!
So there you have it. DB Stay’s top five reasons to choose a Northern Irish staycation this year. No matter the reason, there’s one thing we can guarantee you. If you come and spend your special holiday time with us here at DB Stays, we’ll be sure to bring you a space that is designed to help you unwind, relax and truly, deeply enjoy your holiday.
