Holidaying in England can be a bit hit and miss weather-wise. One day you can have glorious sunshine and the next torrential rain.\u00a0A rainy day can leave guests stuck inside with nothing to do in an area unknown to them. This can be a great worry for a holiday home owner, as bored guests are likely to have an unhappy stay. Which in turn could lead to poor reviews and fewer returning guests.<\/p>\n

Although the sun may not be shining, that doesn\u2019t mean guests can\u2019t have a great time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve come up with a few simple ideas to keep guests amused when they\u2019re stuck inside on a rainy day<\/p>\n

Board games<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both new and classic board games can provide hours of entertainment. Remember to include a variety of games that are suitable for a mixture of ages.<\/p>\n

For young children, you might consider popular games such as:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Snakes and Ladders<\/li>\n
  • Connect Four<\/li>\n
  • Guess Who<\/li>\n
  • Battleship<\/li>\n
  • Hungry Hippo<\/li>\n
  • Buckaroo<\/li>\n
  • Operation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For older children, teens and adults you could provide games such as:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Monopoly<\/li>\n
    • Cluedo<\/li>\n
    • Scrabble<\/li>\n
    • Game of Life<\/li>\n
    • Trivial Pursuit Family Edition<\/li>\n
    • Risk<\/li>\n
    • Uno<\/li>\n
    • Catan<\/li>\n
    • Chess<\/li>\n
    • Pictionary<\/li>\n
    • Cards Against Humanity etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Depending on what\u2019s popular or even your preferences you might include games that are themed around a film or TV series, such as Game of Thrones Cluedo. These could be quirky enough to encourage people to sit down and enjoy a popular game with a twist.<\/p>\n

      Note that Monopoly can lead to world war 3. It may be worth leaving it out of the selection. A family\/friend argument may put a bigger dampener on the day than the rainy weather.<\/p>\n

      For other ideas have a look on Amazon to see their current best sellers and top reviewed board games.<\/p>\n

      Entertainment for all the family<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      When guests are stuck in-doors the first thing many will reach for is their mobile or tablet. Therefore unlimited fast Wi-Fi is essential. This will also enable them to access their Sky or Netflix subscription too.<\/p>\n

      Sometimes there is nothing better than lounging on the sofa and watching a good film. Include a selection of family favourite DVD\u2019s such as the \u2018Goonies\u2019, \u2018Mary Poppins\u2019 or \u2018National Lampoon\u2019s Vacation\u2019.<\/p>\n

      With extensive music collections on our mobiles and tablets, you should also include a Bluetooth speaker for your guests to use whilst doing indoor activities.<\/p>\n

      When is the last time you read a book? Many of us simply don\u2019t have the time, but a holiday is a perfect time to curl up with a good book on a comfy beanbag. Encourage guests to swap a book from your collection.<\/p>\n

      Other ideas:<\/h4>\n
        \n
      • Games consoles – second-hand consoles are relatively cheap to pick up as well as the games. A nostalgic games console can also bring back good memories and provide great entertainment.<\/li>\n
      • Crosswords or word search puzzles that appeal to both adults and children.<\/li>\n
      • A deck of cards can transform on a rainy day and is probably the most popular choice for adults.<\/li>\n
      • Dominoes is a game that the whole family can enjoy.<\/li>\n
      • A customized jigsaw puzzle of your property or a local landmark can also keep guests busy indoors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Crafts<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Getting creative can be a massive distraction and entertainment for children of all ages. One way to do this is by providing a craft book that has plenty of easy-to-do crafts. By this, we mean crafts that don\u2019t require too many materials. Try to get a book that makes crafts out of everyday items such as empty toilet rolls.<\/p>\n

        Alongside this have a craft box with a variety of resources, such as:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Paint & Paint Brushes<\/li>\n
        • Colouring Books<\/li>\n
        • Paper & Card<\/li>\n
        • Colouring Pencils, Felt Tip Pens & Crayons<\/li>\n
        • Scissors<\/li>\n
        • Glue<\/li>\n
        • Felt<\/li>\n
        • Needle, Thread, Buttons<\/li>\n
        • Pom-poms<\/li>\n
        • Balloons<\/li>\n
        • Play Dough<\/li>\n
        • Stickers<\/li>\n
        • Loom Bands<\/li>\n
        • Building Blocks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Try to be creative when looking for items to include, such as socks to make puppets or pebbles to paint and decorate. but think about leaving glitter off the list. Yes, children love it, but it gets everywhere and is very hard to clean up.<\/p>\n

          You might be looking at the list and thinking this could be an expensive box that will need updating regularly. Craft items can be expensive but if you go to the right places i.e. pound stores, you can get an array of supplies without spending a fortune.<\/p>\n

          Cooking\/Baking<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Spending time in the kitchen is a classic pastime that children and adults enjoy, even if it is to just lick the bowl.<\/p>\n

          Provide a variety of cookery and baking books for guests to flick through and choose a recipe at will. Again, you don\u2019t have to spend loads, your local charity shop is bound to have some for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

          Also provide seasonal recipe ideas e.g. winter warming soups, bbq snacks, Parkin, yule logs, Easter cake or fruit pops.<\/p>\n

          Consider providing is baking essentials like:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Bowls<\/li>\n
          • Baking Trays<\/li>\n
          • Wooden Spoon<\/li>\n
          • Pastry Cutters<\/li>\n
          • Bread Tins<\/li>\n
          • Cake Tins<\/li>\n
          • Rolling Pin<\/li>\n
          • Cupcake Tins etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            You\u2019ll have standard crockery and cooking utensils but it\u2019s worth adding extras such as:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • A Slow Cooker<\/li>\n
            • Toasty Machine<\/li>\n
            • Blender<\/li>\n
            • Hand Whisk<\/li>\n
            • Ice Cream Maker<\/li>\n
            • Non-alcoholic Cocktails (‘mocktails’) Kit<\/li>\n
            • Pizza Making Kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Such items give guests more opportunity to get creative and enjoy being in the kitchen. Plus, more lavish items could justify higher rates.<\/p>\n

              As a nice touch, you could provide basic ingredients like:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Flour<\/li>\n
              • Sugar & Icing Sugar<\/li>\n
              • Cupcake Kit<\/li>\n
              • Cake Decorations \u2013 sprinkles, chocolate balls etc.<\/li>\n
              • Seasoning \u2013 paprika, chilli, curry powder etc.<\/li>\n
              • Hot Chocolate (everyone loves a hot chocolate on a rainy day).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Providing some essentials makes your guests feel valued.<\/p>\n

                Games<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                \"\"<\/p>\n

                A brilliant way to pass the time is with games. So, why not provide a list of games that the kids can play around the house?<\/p>\n

                Not only are you helping your guests you\u2019re also subtly encouraging guests to play games that are less likely to cause damages or breakages.<\/p>\n

                Suggest games such as:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Hide & Seek<\/li>\n
                • Musical Statues<\/li>\n
                • Creating a Den<\/li>\n
                • Musical Bumps (where children must stop dancing and sit down when the music stops)<\/li>\n
                • A Treasure Hunt \u2013 suggest parents hide chocolate coins or sweets around the house and come up with clues as to where they\u2019re hidden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Such games are likely to provide hours of entertainment even if they\u2019re older children. The classic games never get old which is why they\u2019re the perfect recommendation.<\/p>\n

                  Rainy day attractions<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                  \"\"<\/p>\n

                  Tell guests about places they can visit without getting rained on. Nowadays, many UK attractions are indoors, primarily due to the weather. Which is perfect as guests aren\u2019t subjected to staying in your property all day and getting \u2018cabin fever\u2019. No matter how nice your place is, your guests will want to get out, explore and visit the area.<\/p>\n

                  Recommend places like:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Bowling Alleys<\/li>\n
                  • Cinema<\/li>\n
                  • Indoor Play Areas<\/li>\n
                  • Castles (often they\u2019re indoors)<\/li>\n
                  • Water Activities (Kayaking, Canoeing, Surfing etc.) At the end of the day, your guests are going to get wet anyway.<\/li>\n
                  • Swimming<\/li>\n
                  • Shopping Centres<\/li>\n
                  • Museums & Art Galleries etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Each gives your guests the chance to get out, have fun and potentially do something different or learn a new skill.<\/p>\n

                    Some guests are happy to put on their wellies and waterproofs and get out and explore. Keeping a few umbrellas in the property and somewhere suitable for drying wet clothing, will be appreciated.<\/p>\n

                    Overall\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

                    If the weather is poor holidaymakers inevitably end up stuck inside. Some guests are simply happy to be in each other’s company making cherished memories. However, by providing entertainment and a list of rainy day activities you can ensure your guests have plenty to do and don\u2019t get bored.<\/p>\n

                    Keeping guest\u2019s happy is your number one priority. Each guest is different but ultimately these tried and tested ideas will keep them entertained and keen to return all year round.<\/p>\n

                    How do you keep your guests entertained on rainy days? We’d love to hear your suggestions.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
