Welcome to the June 2025 roundup of travel guides from Welcoming Yards Retreat. In just one month we covered everything from what to wear while glamping to how to spot genuine all‑inclusive deals. Below is a quick walk‑through of the stories you might have missed and why they matter for your next trip.
We kicked off the month with "What to Wear to Bed When Glamping," a practical cheat‑sheet that shows you how to layer pajamas, socks and weather‑proof gear for a comfy night under the stars. If you’re torn between a cottage and a cabin, our "Cottage vs Cabin" comparison breaks down style, cost and lifestyle factors so you can pick the right retreat without second‑guessing.
Budget‑focused travelers got three solid resources. "Cheapest Types of Hotel Stays" maps out hostels, motels and unconventional lodgings, while the "Cheap Hotels on Booking.com" guide reveals hidden site tricks and timing tricks to lock in lower rates. For families, the "Hotel Child Age Policy Explained" article spells out what age ranges count as a child in different regions and how that impacts fees.
Wellness‑oriented guests will find the "What Does It Mean When a Hotel Has a Spa?" piece useful. It demystifies spa terminology, highlights must‑have treatments and warns about extra charges that can sneak onto your bill.
If you care about the planet, we delivered two deep dives. "Sustainable Building: Eco‑Friendly Cottages That Actually Make a Difference" shares material choices, energy‑saving designs and real‑world projects you can learn from. Meanwhile, "Eco‑Friendly Cottage: Building Green from the Ground Up" gives step‑by‑step guidance on planning, site selection and water management for a truly green home.
For tiny‑house enthusiasts, "Tiny House Lifespan: How Long Can an Eco‑Friendly Cottage Last?" explains how material quality, climate and maintenance affect durability, helping you plan a long‑lasting structure.
All‑inclusive travel got extra attention this month. "Why Does the US Not Allow All‑Inclusive Hotels?" uncovers the legal and cultural reasons behind the scarcity of all‑inclusive resorts stateside. Two follow‑up guides, "All‑Inclusive Trip Cost" and "All‑Inclusive Resort Cost," break down real pricing, hidden fees and seasonal variations so you can budget with confidence. "Is Everything Free with All‑Inclusive?" adds a reality check on what’s truly covered and where surprise charges hide.
Finally, our "National Trust Members Discount" article checks whether members really save on last‑minute cottage bookings, offering practical tips to maximize any membership perks.
All these pieces are designed to make your planning smoother, your stay cheaper and your impact greener. Dive into any article that catches your eye, and feel free to share what worked best for you. Happy travels!
