Why a Break in a Suffolk Cottage Could be Perfect for Yours
When you think about spending some time away from home, chances are that it looks like browsing some family holiday cottages or booking a romantic break for you and your partner. What about mixing work and pleasure though? A concept that has really taken off right now is the workation. If you haven’t heard of it, here is everything you need to know and why booking a holiday cottage could be the perfect choice for yours.
What is a workation?
In 2025, the number of people working remotely sat somewhere in the 28% to 44% range, whether that is on a full or part time basis. That’s a big chunk of the workforce! Not being tied to an office every day means that you can work wherever you like. While that is at home most of the time, lots of people are combining travelling and working – and so the workation was born!
Why have workations become so popular?
There are lots of reasons why workations have soared in popularity. The first is that you can travel without using as much of your annual leave. It’s still possible to see and do plenty of things outside of your working hours – think going out to dinner and exploring the scenery. The latter is important for those who are looking for tranquillity while they wrap up a big project or deadline. You could even combine your family holiday with your job by working remotely for a few days before logging off.
Where are the best spots for a workation?
There are no rules when it comes to workations, but you might want to think about practicalities. Hopping across time zones might mean that you find it hard to stay connected with your team, and long periods of travel mean that you probably won’t get much work done for a day or two. It’s for this reason that many people choose to enjoy a workation right here in the UK. Staycations have long been a popular choice – and all of their benefits tie in so well with a working holiday.
How to choose where to go on a workation
So where should you choose to spend your workation? Lots of people return to a much-loved area where they have already spent a family holiday, as they will be familiar with the area and will be able to settle in right away. For others, it’s a great chance to spend some time in a part of the UK you haven’t visited before. Whether you are new to Suffolk or you have been there before, its blend of coast, country and town is the perfect setting for a workation.
