Self-catering operator cottages.com said it has nearly booked its entire portfolio of UK homes for August after enjoying its best-ever sales day on Saturday (27 June) when bookings were up 415% compared with this time last year.
The bookings surge came after UK and Scottish government announcements opening up domestic holidays in both England and Scotland for this summer.
Cottages.com said luxury and coastal breaks had been the top sellers, although bookings for rural homes had also risen sharply as holidaymakers looked for “safe, secluded hideaways to get away from it all”.
