Self Catering

Whether you’re seeking a cosy retreat, a luxurious escape, or a home away from home, we have a great selection of accommodations for you.

About Self Catering

Self catering accommodations grant travellers the freedom to live like locals, with all the comforts of home at their fingertips. These fully-equipped apartments or cottages come with proper kitchens (none of that one-ring hob nonsense), spacious living areas, and often quirky local decor that beats generic hotel art.

Early risers can brew coffee in their pyjamas, while night owls might whip up midnight snacks without hunting for vending machines. Many self catering properties feature private gardens or balconies – perfect for sundowners after a day of exploring. The setup works brilliantly for families needing space to spread out, groups travelling together, or anyone who simply prefers their own pace. Just remember to take the bins out before you leave!

Pros and Cons of Self Catering

Self catering options offer travellers the flexibility and convenience of preparing their own meals in a home-like environment. Many of the self catering accommodations are strategically situated near popular tourist attractions, making it easy for visitors to explore the area at their own pace. Additionally, self catering can be a more affordable option for those looking to save money on dining out.

One advantage of self catering is the opportunity to experience local life and culture by shopping for ingredients at nearby markets and cooking traditional dishes. Another benefit is the privacy and comfort of having a space to call your own during your stay. However, some self catering options may have limited amenities or lack the luxury of a hotel experience.

Overall, self catering can be a great choice for budget-conscious travellers seeking independence and a taste of local living.
