June 2025 Archive: Your Quick Guide to the Latest Cottage and Travel Tips

Welcome to our June 2025 roundup. In just a few minutes you’ll see what we’ve covered this month—everything from National Trust discounts to eco‑friendly yurts. It’s a handy cheat‑sheet if you’re planning a getaway, want to save money, or are curious about new ways to stay close to nature.

Top Savings & Discounts

We kicked off the month with a deep dive into National Trust membership discounts for holiday cottages in 2025. If you’re a member, you can shave a good chunk off your booking, but you need to know the right dates and the secret codes that only insiders share. Next up was a guide on the cheapest oceanfront property in the US for 2025. While it’s a US story, the budgeting tricks—compare state taxes, look for off‑season deals, and use local agents—work just as well for British seaside cottages.

All‑inclusive resorts also got the spotlight. Two posts broke down what a reasonable price looks like and how to spot hidden fees. The bottom line? Aim for a per‑night price that covers food, activities, and a few extras, and always read the fine print for drink packages. Speaking of drinks, we answered the common question, “Are alcoholic drinks included in all‑inclusive hotels?” so you won’t get surprised by a bar tab at the end of your stay.

Unique Stays & Eco‑Friendly Options

If you love a bit of glam in the great outdoors, you’ll appreciate our comparison of glamping versus camping costs in 2025. We listed real numbers for popular sites, showed where you can save by booking early, and suggested budget‑friendly glamping pods that still feel luxurious. For the ultra‑green traveler, we explored whether yurts are truly eco‑friendly. The verdict: they’re a solid low‑impact option when you choose natural insulation and solar power, and we gave quick tips to make any yurt even greener.

Posh camping—aka eco‑friendly cottage alternative—was another hot topic. Think of it as a step up from a tent: you get a sturdy shelter, composting toilets, and sometimes even a tiny kitchen. It’s perfect for folks who want comfort without the carbon footprint of a traditional cottage. We also explored what makes a country house tick, from classic architecture to modern rural living, giving you ideas on how to enjoy that stately vibe even in a modest rental.

Beyond cottages, we looked at niche accommodations that might spark your curiosity. Want to know what a boutique hotel really offers? Our guide broke down design, service quirks, and why they’re worth the splurge. For jet‑setters, we clarified the airport hotel concept and why it’s a lifesaver for early flights or long layovers. And for couples seeking something a little more private, we revisited the modern love hotel scene, showing how they’ve evolved and what to expect if you’re curious.
