Most people are on a budget these days and this applies whether at home or whether they are on holidays. When travelling for fun or any other reason you can usually find budget accommodation to suit. Of course, the cheapest kind of accommodation is to pitch a tent in a caravan park site, but this does not suit everyone. Some people need a little more comfort and convenience than a tent provides.
Staying in a cabin at a caravan park is another budget accommodation choice. Cabins these days are relatively comfortable and you can cook your own meals, thus saving again on dining out. There are barbeque facilities in the park as well as a stove and microwave oven in the cabin - and most parks feature swimming pools which will keep the kids happy.
Of course you can have your own caravan and book into a caravan park for a very affordable rate, but there is the initial cost of buying the van, the added fuel to tow it and finding somewhere to store it when not in use. And some people prefer not to have to tow a van wherever they go. Other than that, it can provide an extra guest room at home, and you don't always have to book accommodation. You are free to stay at a great many more places such as national parks that have camping sites.
Some people prefer to stay at a cottage. Booking a cottage is a wonderful option when there is a larger group of people requiring beds. If the cost is shared between all it becomes very affordable. There is much more room in a holiday cottage than in a cabin at a caravan park. It is more private as there is only your group on the premises. The facilities include everything you would have in your own home such as a fully equipped kitchen and laundry. There may even be lock-up parking.
Bed and breakfast accommodation is ideal for many people. When there are many tourist activities to participate in, or if you are only staying for one night, bed and breakfast offers an affordable and comfortable choice. You get to stay in a real home with a comfy bed and breakfast is included. You would not be there for other meals anyway if you are intent on exploring the region. The best thing about bed and breakfast is that you get to chat with a local and they can often direct you to some of the hidden delights in their region that you would otherwise miss out on.
Renting a flat also works out to be quite affordable if there are two families or couples to share the cost. Many flats have enough beds or fold-down sofas to accommodate five or six people. You could also take a blow-up mattress or two for extras. Of course you would have to account for them with the manager, but adding extra people is usually a small extra cost when you book a flat.
