I'm looking at booking a holiday lodge for me and DP in Norfolk or the Peak District for a weekend in late October (not half term) and my god it's just over a grand for 3 nights?! Not anything especially fancy - clean and modernish kitchen/lounge, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, heating. (Sort of basic Centre Parcs style).
Is this typical? Airbnb is way cheaper - i don't understand why people go to these holiday cottages/lodges at these prices? I haven't been on hols in the UK for years - have lived abroad for most of the past decade - so possibly out of touch!
