Resourcefulness: The budgeter's friend

foxgloves

@themadvix - We have stayed in many NT cottages & still sometimes book one for a special occasion, but the rentals really have increased significantly, especially in certain areas. We noticed this trend from the pandemic onwards so I wonder if more well-off people holidaying at home in the UK meant that there was huge demand leading to a bit of greed. We usually book in November so as to get cheaper rates but even then, some of the properties we've stayed in in the past are now way beyond what we're prepared to pay.

Yep, as long-time UK holiday cottage users, we've been quite shocked at the price increases too. We used to regularly go away in a cottage for a weekend but it's become rather more of a commitment now, and some places are just obscene. I can't get over shepherds huts either- many are over £100 a night, and you have to go outside for a wee! 😱😂 We used to do cottages because they were cheap, but these days it's often cheaper to stay in a hotel 🙄

Glad you're feeling a bit better now foxgloves.
