Why a motorhome getaway beats staying in a hotel

Living in the lap of luxury for a week or two certainly has an appeal. However, you don’t need to shell out a fortune for a fancy hotel when you have a trusty motorhome!
Freedom, mobility and your own space are just a few advantages that may prove elusive if you plan to check in to a hotel. But can you just park up on a beach and gaze at the sunset, or have access to the same luxurious facilities?
Find out why opting for a motorhome road trip can be more rewarding and relaxing than a hotel-based holiday.
Your motorhome doesn’t have a check out date
No matter how lovely your room is, how much fun you have or how classy the hotel is, sooner or later you’ll have to grab your bags and head out the front door. When you’re on a motorhome trip, you decide how long you stay in a location, and you won’t have to worry about transport back home!
Rather than sleeping in a communal camping area or worrying about getting back to the hotel too late and disturbing your neighbours, you can enjoy peace and privacy in your motorhome. Your valuables will be much safer as well – the majority of motorhomes have modern security measures in place, and you won’t have to rely on a safe in your hotel room.
You won’t have to sacrifice top-notch facilities either. There are a range of glamping spots across the country that cater to motorhomes, from the Hayfield Pods in the Peak District to the Orchard View Farm in Buckinghamshire.

Take your friends and family with you
Travelling to a new location or visiting several spots with a group can prove tricky without a vehicle. If you’re planning on staying in a hotel as well as seeing the sights, it’s possible for unforeseen challenges to arise.
There are no such concerns for motorhome owners. As long as you can all fit into the vehicle, you’ll have your own space to relax without having to book separate rooms. If cost efficiency is key for your journey, living and travelling as one unit can help cut down the financial impact quite significantly!
Whilst visiting several, worrying about getting back to the hotel and organising transport can take a toll on your enjoyment. Having all your family members and luggage in one place helps keep the admin to a minimum, and makes for a stress-free holiday.

Explore a variety of stunning locations
Freedom is crucial for motorhomes owners. Many hotels have limited parking capacity and, depending on the location, may not be best situated for exploration. A motorhome presents an opportunity to go hiking through the Peak District and relax on a sunny beach in Cornwall during the same week.
Before you gather up the camping gear and head off, it’s always good practise to familiarise yourself with the regulations surrounding overnight parking. Visiting local council websites, researching specific areas that are off limits and being respectful during your stay are all vital aspects of a successful trip.
Hotels are fantastic choices for city breaks and leisure weekends in one location. However, if you want to set out on the open road or truly experience the serenity of nature, a motorhome will provide everything you need!
