Nowadays worldwide financial situation with the sudden fall of currency and reduced incomes or unemployment has cast insecurity and suspicion, generally determining pecuniary prudence for the majority of people.
Under the circumstances, being cautious with our expenditures and savings is only sure enough.
However, going someplace on vacation or just taking a weekend getaway from the daily worries is something we still long to do, and also something that we need especially with today's solicitude.
If in the last few years taking a vacation in an exotic or luxurious destination didn't seem to affect our budget that much, now is the right time to consider other alternatives.
Taking a vacation in the countryside can not only be a cost effective solution, but as well a pleasurable, cheering and relaxing experience.
Getting back in touch with the beauty and peace of nature while taking promenades, biking or even going for a picnic on lovely hilly areas might remind you of the serenity and worry-free times of your childhood, or otherwise it will certainly give you a grip in that inspiring tranquility that only the natural environment can offer.
Furthermore, you may find in the countryside some hotels which recreate in modern settings that welcoming and warm atmosphere of the traditional English inn where everything gives you that impression that not the rooms dominate but the common spaces which indeed give live to the place.
Nevertheless, if you haven't been to the countryside for a long time, you will be pleasantly surprised by the accommodations, eating and drinking that now many hotels there provide.
You may both opt for traditional or modern lodging with simple, yet comforting facilities such as enormous beds, rainforest showers, charming lounge areas, or lovely designed bolt-hole rooms.
The food, always fresh and tasty, is prepared from locally sourced ingredients and the menu depends on the seasonal supplies.
Anyhow, you will be delighted by that taste of bread baked on site and those homemade biscuits and cakes served at the afternoon tea.
Likewise, the beverage includes traditional lemonade, local ale or organic ginger bear well suited with home roasted spiced nuts.
All in all, the budget hotels in the countryside are a fine choice for a low-priced, but what is more wonderful holiday.
Once there, you will certainly desire to go for a second time!
