Picture this: a stunning holiday let, sprawling rooms, cozy corners, and the peaceful hum of nature outside. Your friends or family are off exploring, lounging by the sea, or tucking into a long, lazy lunch. And you? You’re sipping coffee, laptop open, making the most of the peace and quiet to smash through some work. It might not be the traditional idea of a getaway, but using a break in a big holiday let for office work can be surprisingly productive. With everyone else occupied, there’s no one asking where the scissors are, no doorbells ringing, and no endless distractions pulling you away from your to-do list. Just uninterrupted time to focus, think, and get things done.
The Luxury of Space and Silence
Let’s face it, most of us don’t have the luxury of a massive workspace at home. We juggle laptops on kitchen tables, perch on sofas, or squeeze into tiny home offices. But in a large holiday let, there’s room to spread out. Dining tables become expansive desks, bay windows offer inspiring views, and quiet nooks provide the perfect spot to concentrate.
At The Anchor, they’ve gone one step further to make working on holiday easier. They’ve set up dedicated spaces with extra-fast broadband, meaning no frustrating buffering or lagging Zoom calls. Whether you need to send emails, join video meetings, or upload large files, the connection is smooth and reliable.
Guilt-Free Productivity
One of the best things about working while others play is that it flips the usual work-life balance. Instead of feeling guilty for working, you can feel smug. Why? Because while your colleagues are slogging away at their desks, you’re smashing through tasks with an ocean view, fresh air, and the promise of an evening drink on the terrace when you’re done.
The key is to set boundaries. Allocate a few hours in the morning or afternoon to focus, then shut the laptop and enjoy your break. It’s a win-win—you stay on top of work without missing out on the holiday fun.
The Change of Scenery Effect
Ever noticed how a change of scenery can make everything feel fresher? Working from a new location can spark creativity, help you break out of a productivity slump, and even make boring admin feel a little more bearable. Big holiday lets, like The Anchor, give you that perfect mix of comfort and escape—far from the daily grind but still with everything you need to stay connected.
So, next time you’re planning a getaway but can’t fully escape work, don’t stress. Embrace the best of both worlds. Pack your laptop, grab a coffee, and enjoy the rare luxury of working in total peace—before stepping straight into holiday mode as soon as you hit “send.”
