The travel industry is predicting high demand for UK breaks next year as holiday-makers decide not to fly or chance travelling abroad in these, ahem, uncertain times. And don\u2019t forget the incredible weather we had in 2020, another really good reason to holiday at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many UK travel companies are also finding customers are looking for interesting and interactive experiences to book as part of their self-catering holiday, and this year we have received great feedback from customers who enjoyed a <em>Holiday Cookaway<\/em>. Because there\u2019s no subscription with a Cookaway, you are free to order whenever it suits you, making it a perfect holiday experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can make the most of your UK holiday with a Cookaway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-3 wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Skyfall-cottage-olivers-travels-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"olivers travels sea view property with jacuzzi\" data-id=\"654\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Skyfall-cottage-olivers-travels-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=654\" class=\"wp-image-654 lazyload\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Oliver&#8217;s Travels &#8211; Skyfall Property<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"isle of sky shepherds hut\" data-id=\"656\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=656\" class=\"wp-image-656 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1-450x253.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1-20x11.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Handpicked-Cottages-Coastal-Retreat-2-1-225x126.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Handpicked Cottages &#8211; Isle of Skye Shepherds Hut<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5>1. ready on arrival<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>When you arrive at your self-catering accommodation, the last thing you want to do is a supermarket shop. Often your hosts will leave you a pack with essentials like milk, bread and fruit, but what about your first meal of the holiday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody wants to start their holiday with a tin of soup and a packet of crackers bought at the petrol station.

It\u2019s the perfect time to cook for fun, experiment and pick up some new skills along the way. All our recipes come with full step-by-step instructions and helpful tips from our expert chefs. Break out of the same old same old, and add something new to your repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>5. be sure of great quality and everything you need<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You never quite know until you get there what shops will be local to your holiday home. And, more importantly, what will be in the store cupboard. There\u2019s a strong chance that your self-catering accommodation won\u2019t have sherry vinegar, mirin or tamari soy sauce in the kitchen cupboards. Imagine! If holidaying means eating fresh, high-quality food made with exciting authentic ingredients, then a Holiday Cookaway is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-9 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Oliver-Travels-Marine-House-1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"olivers travels hampshire property with large outside table\" data-id=\"665\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/magento.local\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Oliver-Travels-Marine-House-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thecookaway.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=665\" class=\"wp-image-665 lazyload\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Oliver&#8217;s Travels &#8211; Hampshire Marine House<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>holiday cookaway partners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have partnered with the following travel companies who all provide high-quality self-catering holiday accommodation in the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have booked your accommodation with one of these or any UK holiday company, simply place your Cookaway order through our website and enter your holiday address as your delivery address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.handpickedcottages.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hand Picked Cottages<\/a> &#8211; Luxury UK holiday accommodation including romantic cottages, dog-friendly cottages, luxury lodges, coastal properties and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliverstravels.com\/britain-ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oliver\u2019s Travels<\/a> &#8211; Quirky and characterful holiday homes in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.originalcottages.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Original Cottages<\/a> &#8211; UK holiday cottages in awe-inspiring places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Cookaway on Holiday makes self-catering easy!
