Simon Calder offers advice on booking staycations for 2021<\/h3>\n

Paul Nickerson looked at renting a modest holiday home for himself, his partner and three young sons aged under five to enjoy a getaway. However, the owner of the three-bed home in St Ives, Cornwall, wanted a whopping \u00a310,232 per night for the week stay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a supply and demand issue and they’re exploiting it. A lot of people in the UK need and want a holiday, but many will not be able to afford them.<\/p>\n

Paul, a Conservative councillor for Minster and Woodmansey in Beverley, East Yorkshire, was disgusted with the price, which is more than double the UK annual wage of \u00a331,000.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Hull Live, the dad said: “It’s a supply and demand issue and they’re exploiting it. A lot of people in the UK need and want a holiday, but many will not be able to afford them.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know anyone who can afford \u00a371,000 for a week’s holiday.<\/p>\n

“Everything I have seen is about 50 per cent more than their normal price. We have a young family so we normally do have a UK staycation as it’s easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“But it’s normally affordable for a family, but this was shocking.<\/p>\n

“I thought it must have been a mistake, but having checked other properties, it is clear it isn’t, as they’re all far more.”<\/p>\n
