Staycation bookings have risen by 136 per cent for next month compared to the same time before the pandemic, an expert has revealed.
Matt Fox, CEO and Founder of Rest Easy Group, said there was a stark increase in demand for cottages in Cornwall and Devon for the May bank holiday weekend this year compared to 2019.
It comes as furious staycationers are facing a doubling of Cornish cottage prices this summer after an influx of bookings were made. And despite green list hopes for foreign travel.
Mr Fox said: As we approach the bank holiday weekend, we have seen a huge 136 per cent increase in bookings in May this year compared to May 2019, pre-pandemic.
