Brits Start Missing Home Comforts Just Five Days Into Holidays

A study of 2,000 holidaymakers finds 46% miss home comforts by day five, with many longing for their own space, bed, and daily routines while abroad.

  • Soon into their break, travellers begin to miss home just five days into their holiday, a OnePoll survey of 2,000 holidaymakers commissioned by DFS reveals.
  • Amid home cravings, the survey reveals nearly half of holidaymakers cite lack of home comforts as their main reason for missing home, especially own space, bed and routines.
  • Statistical findings show 75 per cent of holidaymakers feel there is no place like home, and 38 per cent would transport their home to their holiday destination if they could.
  • Upon returning home, housework takes precedence as 47 per cent of holidaymakers tackle laundry first and 56 per cent prioritize unpacking, while 52 per cent say the best part of a holiday is returning to their home.
  • Ahead of future breaks, 71 per cent of holidaymakers plan weekends of doing nothing, while 43 per cent take time off work purely to enjoy their own home.
