      That poor woman in Cornwall who can’t let out her 3 BTL’s. 🙄

    2. MrFleeg on

      Yeah we know that is already. Firstly the market is saturated and secondly it’s cheaper to get on a plane and get an AirBnB abroad than it is to hire a car or buy a train ticket and get an AirBnB here.

      For the price of a car rental and shed in Devon for 4 days I’m doing a week in Sicily.

      Well, when it’s cheaper to fly to an all-inclusive 7 nights holiday on the ocean beach than it is to rent a self-catering tiny cottage in wales for 2 nights… yeah, I believe the balloon will pop!

      Because the weather has not and COVID is a memory for most

      > Yvonne Turnbull, 58, who lives in Horsham, West Sussex, has been letting out a three-bedroom apartment in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, for between £150 and £175 a night, including through Airbnb, for the past six years.

      Yeah, wonder why?

      That’s interesting because London over Wimbledon and Edinburgh over Edinburgh Fringe Festival don’t appear super cheap this year. Possibly it’s no one wants to spend top money to go to Scarborough over winter lol and the fact we have 5 X more Airbnbs vs covid when you couldn’t go overseas and were effectively trapped

      Staycation ≠ regular holiday in your country of residence

    8. LieutenantEntangle on

      People cannot afford staycations or foreign travel.

      Holidays are simply down across the board.

      Still, we saved Grandma, so this economic pain was worth it right?

      I’ve lived in the UK for 16 years, let’s be honest UK is a poor holiday destination, especially for Brits. Expensive, weather sucks, public transport is atrocious etc. I have moved to Spain due to Brexit and honestly I can’t even imagine myself going back for a holiday

      Ye it’s to expensive.

      Unless there is a rare offer on.

      I did some.glamping in Wales with family. Portmadog I think it was called. We were only able to as one we have a car and two my mum has a friend down the road who’s family inheritanced a place from a dying family member. Have to say it was a blast from the past as it was 80/90s decor, felt like i was 6 again.

      Sadly they had to sell it as the land rent was just to much to keep it also it was very old so they just decided to cut the loss.

      Most of the holidays we have been on have been lucky catches as we have been in the know about something or seen a super good offer.

      Best offer I myself have had solo travel wise was Edinburgh 4nights for 390 including food, ticket was 90 thou.

      [£1158 for this one bed cottage in the Lake District 15th-21st July for two adults](https://abnb.me/mf92hG00AIb)

      Or Stansted to Milan flights 15th July, 07:40 landing 10:35 return 21st July 21:45 landing22:50

      £133 pp do £266 plus the extra for a large suitcase is £316

      Return train from Milan to Como £40 for two people

      [Air BnB overlooking Lake Como £542](https://abnb.me/d1i3aYQ1AIb)

      Everything is so weirdly overpriced here in the UK, that you can easily fly aboard for the same type of holiday and end up paying a lot less

      That isn’t even looking at the cheap package holidays

    12. BlueMoonCityzen on

      UK trips on Airbnb are usually £150 a night and half of the time it is basically staying in someone’s house, very similar to your own

      No thanks. Rather hop on a Ryanair flight at £100pp returns max, and get an Airbnb somewhere in Europe often for £60-£100. In a sunny place or somewhere with nicer food and culture.

      Won’t catch me crying that people can’t let their BTLs in a saturated property market

    13. Necessary_Driver_831 on

      Picture of St Ives in the header, I’ve been there tons. Last time a couple years ago in the middle of August the flat was around £950 for the week, I looked for this year and the same flat, same week is over £1500 so Jet2 have got my money sadly.

      I’m not okay paying that for room only in this country. I know there’s the St Ives tax but still.

    14. rennarda on

      Nope – I checked my favourite holiday cabin in Cornwall and it’s still 2x the pre-Covid price I paid.

      I will leave it late to book and snap up some last minute bargain this year.

    16. Haunting-Ad1192 on

      Because greedy businesses are charging more than it costs to fly thousands of miles away for a weekend in Blackpool.
