Brits Embrace the Breakation
With the Euro up, the pound down and prices soaring, it’s no wonder we Brits have decided to can the Costas for a knees up at the seaside. If you’re one of the thousands of Brits who only have a few days to spare and a few pennies to play with, follow Best Western Hotel’s guide to the perfect ‘Breakation’, right here at home.
Looks like rain
Can’t tell your Cumulonimbus from your Cirrus? Keeping an eye on the weather is a ritual for us Brits and we’re never far from a summer shower. To give revellers the best chance of staying dry however, Best Western is handing out Cloud Spotting Cards at hotels close to the seaside. So whilst summer wouldn’t be summer without the odd spot of rain, make like a meteorologist and decide when to hit the beach and when to head for indoor attractions.
Folding a deckchair
The traditional deckchair is as much a part of the Great British holiday as Victorian piers and a stick of rock. Save your blushes on the beach by following Best Western’s simple guide to putting one up:
• Stand the folded deckchair vertically with both folding arms pointing upwards
• Rotate the longer notched arm away from the frame
• Rotate the shorter arm towards the longer one and engage the horizontal bar in one of the notches
• Place the chair on the ground and adjust the seating angle
• Sit back and enjoy your ice cream
Avoiding the queues
With so many of us holidaying at home, demand at the top attractions will be higher than ever this summer. To give a spot of local insight, Best Western Hotel managers are giving staff extra training this summer on the most popular excursions so they can advise customers about the busiest attractions and let them know the ideal times to avoid the queues.
So there you have it, follow Best Western’s simple guide to holidaying at home, and you will be only a donkey ride away from the perfect ‘Breakation’.
