You absolutely can have a happy holiday in your own UK holiday home. With changing attitudes to holidays, and increasing awareness of what’s important in life, more and more people are investing in their own UK holiday home. Here’s how a UK holiday home is making them happy, healthy and wise.
Can owning a holiday home really make you happy?
Owning a holiday home really can make you happy. Leaving financial matters aside, for the moment, a uk holiday home is an investment in your future happiness. It’s somewhere outside everyday life. It’s somewhere to focus on just being yourselves. We’re all increasingly familiar with the idea that it’s important to make memories; to take time, to make time, to have fun.
Could owning a holiday home make you healthy as well as happy?
Yes again, and this isn’t just a fanciful theory. When you spend time at your own UK holiday home you do all sorts of things that are good for you. And maybe you do less of the things that are bad for you. You slow down, you get more fresh air, you take more exercise - even if it’s simply walking around more. You use less ‘tech’, you sleep better (which is not unconnected to using ‘less tech’). You don’t stress and you don’t email all night. We all know what’s good and bad for us. In your holiday home it’s somehow easier to put it into practice. So a holiday home makes you happy and healthy.
Can a holiday home make you wise?
There’s no guarantee that it will propel you into the Mastermind black chair, but having a holiday home coul help you to increase your knowledge. Having a holiday home is a great way to explore and learn more about another part of the UK. Choose a location that suits your interests - cycling for instance. Or walking or sailing. You can immerse yourselves in the things you know and love, and you can widen your knowledge of our our wonderful coasts and countryside. Simply visiting places away from your home, and near your holiday home, increases your knowledge. Which actually makes you feel better. And happier. Of course, at your holiday home you have more time to yourself. So if you did want to study, and read up on, your special interest, you never know you might just make it to Mastermind.
The UK has so much to offer. And there’s so much to learn. Learning, and gaining knowledge is one of those things that, especially when we do it at our own pace, makes us happy. It’s another happy reason to have a holiday home.
A perfect place for walking, cycling and sailing – the Broads National Park in Norfolk and Suffolk. And we happen to have lodges and holiday homes for sale right on the Broads, at Waveney River Centre and Broadlands Park & Marina:
Where is the best location for a UK holiday home?
Personal taste is everything of course. But, the sheer variety of great UK locations makes this an interesting question.
In the east for example there’s North Denes Caravan Park. In fact, it’s at the UK’s most easterly point.
And Caldecott Hall Country Park is brilliantly located for The Broads and the coast as well as being a top golfing spot.
Go north and there’s Redcar Beach in North Yorkshire. It’s so close to some fabulous beaches.
Or there’s Lincolnshire and the wonderful Wolds. Mablethorpe Park is a must to check out here.
Happy, wise and healthy. Can a holiday home make you wealthy?
Owning a UK holiday home does make financial sense. Investments, pension funds, savings… they’ve all become somehow so demanding lately haven’t they? It all seems so complicated. Not to mention worrying when we’re all struggling and even financial institutions have their moments. Putting some money into owning your own UK holiday home is way of investing in something that makes financial sense and brings immediate rewards in so many ways.
And there’s something else. They’re calling it getting ‘paid for your pad’, because earning some extra income from letting out your holiday home is yet another potential benefit.
If home is where the heart is - is a holiday home is where the happiness is?
That wasn’t supposed to be a tongue twister. Sorry. But it is at the heart of the holiday home question. As much as you love our own home it’s important to get away once in a while. We’ve always known that, but now we know more about things like our work life balance and our mental health. In fact, our lives today make getting away more important than ever.
It’s said that the first 10% or so of holiday time can actually induce a lower mood than when you started. Dig a bit deeper and you find that’s because that 10% was the airport, flights, travel and hassle stage. The stress bit. You can take that away by making your holiday base your own UK holiday home. That’s a 10% bonus right there.
And when you are there, your holiday home is all about being happy. It’s time with loved ones, family and friends. Time to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. Time to let your body release the hormones that actually make you happy. Get holiday home happy.
