Motorhome staycation

Staycation
With the current family holidaying trend shifting from expensive long haul flights to ‘staycations’ (closer to home), more people are picking up the car keys and traveling to France or even exploring the UK - and there’s a lot to be said for it.
However, you could make that staycation more exciting for you and the kids if you considered investing in a new or quality preowned motorhome from Cleveland Motorhomes, for a motor home staycation. It’s estimated the average family will spend over £1000 on a UK summer holiday in Scotland, the Lake District, Wales and Devon. With people forced into keeping a close eye on their finances, a motorhome makes for a practical UK alternative and for less than you might think.
For example, you can drive-away an 09 Peugeot Compass Avantgarde 180 for only £30,995. This stunning 6 berth model includes side awning, rear mounted cycle rack, washroom with showers and cassette toilet, TV/DVD. Tour the length and breadth of the country at your own leisurely pace, or even make the short channel trip across to France. Long weekends will never be the same as you make the most of ‘the freedom to discover’ .
The CSMA club made a list of venues for families to visit whilst holiday at home. Here are just a few...
Falmouth in Cornwall instead of the Greek Islands for clear blue waters, fresh fish and great sailing.
The Cotswolds for the Dordogne: both have picturesque limestone cottages, scenic villages, rolling hills and local wine.
Devon for northern Spain: for walking holidays amid beautiful countryside with lots of friendly campsites to stay.
York for Rome to enjoy Roman ruins and religious history.
The Gower Peninsula for the Algarve - both have wide beaches, greenery and spectacular scenery.
