The Benefits of Holiday Apartments

Holiday apartments are now one of the faster growing sectors in the burgeoning independent tourism industry in the UK, replacing holiday cottages in the growth sectors. Holiday apartments have a lot to offer the modern traveller from young couples looking for a last minute holiday break, to families and groups looking for modern accommodation that fits their desires, holiday apartments are the new growth area in the industry.

Individual bookers may at first wonder why holiday apartments are suddenly becoming the in thing, Surf Bay recognised this trend and our new luxury holiday apartments in Westward Ho! reflect the growing market of holiday apartments. With the advent of late availability web sites and independent growth for any day booking through Airbnb, the holiday market is changing so that customers can book on a range of flexible dates, right up to the last minute, especially for city breaks. Within a major beach based holiday destination such as Westward Ho!, holiday apartments are becoming increasingly popular and are now getting booked up way in advance for the major booking weeks but also offer great flexibility for last minute breaks out of the peak season.

Holiday apartments offer a solution for those that love their modern living. Whilst holiday cottages tend to be preferred by families looking for traditional accommodation, often with a few modern conveniences, quality and luxury holiday apartments appeal to those that love the modern lifestyle. Our luxury apartments reflect this growing trend with specifications that are beyond the norm. Modern facilities such as large flat screen smart tv’s in a range of rooms with access to Netflix and a choice of Freeview channels reflect this. The living specifications are higher providing you with underfloor heating for example, so that you are warm throughout the property without hot or cold spots. Jacuzzi baths in all bathrooms help you relax, perfect if you have spent a decent amount of time in the sea and need to get some warmth back in your body. Complimentary toiletries with towels and linen provided are more examples of why our quality holiday apartments in Westward Ho! offer a more relaxing holiday solution.

It isn’t just the facilities that tend to be of a higher specification but the whole experience. Holiday apartments tend to be new builds, designed specifically for holiday accommodation where the architects look for features to enhance such as the sea or countryside views from your balcony, integrated hot tubs when they can be incorporated or modern appliances such as dishwashers and Bluetooth sound systems are all designed to offer more than traditional holiday accommodation and appeal to families and couples that love their modern living and want to take their aspirational lifestyle on holiday with them.
