UK Holiday Home Ownership isn’t as expensive as you think…

Have you ever considered UK Holiday Home ownership but been put off by the initial cost of purchasing your very own home away from home? Well it may not actually work out as expensive as you might think over the long run.

Did you know that you could stand to pay as little as 50p per hour for the privilege of having your very own dream holiday home? This compares to a potential cost of £5.43 per hour when taking a two week cruise!

This is calculated based on a family of four spending weekends at their holiday home throughout a holiday parks open season, two weeks at Christmas and the children, plus one adult, spending six weeks during the summer on park. We’ve worked this out over a ten year period, as this is the typical manufacturer warranty issued to anyone who decides to buy a holiday home at one of our luxury locations (in this case, the 5 star Talacre Beach Resort).

Willing to invest a bit further and purchase a lodge rather than static caravan? This won’t push your hourly cost up too much more, with the cost per hour of owning a lodge at our stunning 5* Hawkchurch Resort &amp; Spa, in Devon, only going up to a potential £1.12 per hour.

Take a look at our fact packed infographic to gain an understanding as to why we think it makes financial sense in the long run to buy your very own holiday home with Darwin Escapes…

 

Additional Information

  • Cost of a Holiday in Majorca based on a family of 4 spending 2 weeks at a 3 star resort between the 6th and 20th August 2018. This price was retrieved from TravelSupermarket on the 27th November 2017
  • Cost of a 2 week Cruise is based on a family of four sailing from Southampton to Miami on the Queen Elizabeth with Cunard setting sail on the 10th August 2018. This price was retrieved from Expedia on the 27th November 2017
  • Cost per hour of ownership at Talacre Beach Resort based on a family of four taking ownership of our lowest price static caravan at Talacre Beach Resort and spending every weekend of the parks open season at the resort along with two weeks at Christmas and three occupants spending six weeks in their holiday home over the summer period
  • Cost per hour of ownership a a holiday home at Hawkchurch Resort &amp; Spa in Devon is based on a family of four taking ownership of our lowest price luxury lodge at our 5 star Devon resort and spending every weekend at the resort along with two weeks during the festive period and three family members spending six weeks at Hawkchurch during the summer.

What’s your favourite Christmas dessert? DE HQ have found the top 4 most popular Christmas desserts in the UK, did yours make the cut? (get it?!)

Christmas dinner is the time of year everyone waits for (or is that just me?) but what sets the meal off just right, is the dessert, when you have a good Christmas dessert, your evening is sorted. Does your family have a traditional dessert that you crack open once a year to gorge on? Or are you an adventurous lot and try something new every year?
Darwin Escapes HQ are all about the desserts, so we thought we would share our top 4 Christmas desserts with you all during this festive season…

Christmas Pudding

This is a traditional British dessert, originating from Medieval England with one of the earliest recipes found in a book written by Mary Kettilby in 1714! The custom of having a Christmas pudding was passed on to different part of the world by British colonists, and it is has become a common dessert in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Republic of Ireland. Traditionally a penny will be inside the pudding for you to find (be careful not to swallow it!), if you wanted to make it from scratch, follow this recipe.

Trifle

An English dessert made with fruit, which has become a popular Christmas dessert over the years. The bottom of the trifle is jelly, with a thin layer of sponge fingers (usually soaked in sherry), then a layer of custard and topped with whipped cream (the best bit). There are various versions of a trifle, from strawberry to a full chocolate version, and if you’re a Friends fan, you’ll know all about Rachel’s shepherd’s pie mix up! Avoid that horrible mistake and follow this recipe for a meat-free trifle.

Yule Log

This delicious treat is a traditional Christmas dessert in Belgium, Switzerland, France and former French colonies. Usually made from a sponge cake, which is iced and then rolled up before being topped with chocolate icing, a fork is then lightly dragged through the icing, to create a bark effect with powdered icing dusted on the top to create ‘snow’, all helping to make it resemble a miniature yule log. It is then decorated, usually with berries and sometimes with miniature ornaments to create a Christmas scene! Try the traditional recipe here.

Black Forest Gateau

Consisting of 3 layers of chocolate sponge cake (starting off well here), they are sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. As well as being infused with speciality German liquor, called Shcwarzwalder Kirsch, from which the gateau takes its name, however other countries may change the alcohol used, or include no alcohol at all. The gateau is then decorated with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and maraschino cherries. This was a staple Christmas dessert for my family growing up! Take a crack at creating this beauty by following this recipe.

Is your favourite Christmas dessert in our top 4 list? Everyone has that one dessert that reminds them of the festive season, whether you gorge yourself on all the mince pies or splurge on a professionally made cake, we’d love to hear about your Christmas dessert tradition!

A step back in time The Shambles is a street near the centre of the historic city of York. Winner of Google’s Most Picturesque Street Award and one of the most well preserved medieval attractions in the UK, the Shambles is certainly worth a visit this Christmas if you are staying at the KP Resort. The street is steeped in history and is frequently referred to in the literature of the middle ages; even mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. Once home to dozens of butcher’s shops & slaughterhouses, today the street maintains its original character and features a range of quirky shops including a Harry Potter store.


a medieval street full of character

Resembling Diagon Alley (another reason that Harry Potter fans visit from across the UK), the Shambles is a vibrant yet quaint attraction. The actual name of the area is thought to have originated from the Anglo-Saxon phrase “Fleshammels”. The fleshammels were the name given to the shelves upon which butchers would display their meats and other goods. There are still a number of old meathooks and butcher-table-fronts that give visitors an idea of the street’s history.

Also known simply as ‘Shambles’, the street is fantastic for photo opportunities, for a stroll through taking in the ambiance or for a browse of the local independent shops that reside there. You will also find a number of tea rooms, bakeries, jewelry stores and the Shambles Tavern is a great place stop-off and enjoy a local ale.


vibrant & bustling by day, spooky by night

It’s a great place to visit in the evenings as well as during the day. With a spooky feel thanks to the overhanging timber-framed buildings that date back hundreds of years and appear to almost meet and touch each other from either side of the street. In some sections; it is actually possible for people to stand with arms out-stretched and touch the buildings each side of the street. Ghost tours are popular all year round; with tales of classic York ghost stories entertaining tourists as they are guided through the Shambles and the surrounding area by their very own Victorian guide – complete with frock coat and top hat.


saint margaret clitherow

Look out for the home and shrine of Saint Margaret Clitherow. Throughout the 16th century, Catholics were persecuted by law in England. She was imprisoned a number of times; in 1577 for failing to attend church – she later gave birth to 3rd child whilst imprisoned in York Castle.

Saint Clitherow was arrested in 1586 for harbouring Catholic Priests, clergy vestments and holding Mass inside her house. She refused to plead; so that her children would avoid having to testify and as a result was sentenced to be crushed to death without trial. Due to her bravery and support of Catholicism, she was canonised (made a saint) in 1970.
