As the tourism industry prepares to open its doors this weekend, there has been a rush to book up UK staycations, meaning it can be tough to find availability for the summer.
We’ve done the hard work for you, and picked out some stunning Airbnb breaks that have August 2020 availability – but don’t delay, as they are booking up fast now that the secret is out! Choose from small but perfectly formed tiny houses, grand historic towers, charming converted carriages, cosy wooden cabins and even a floating tree sphere!
