The most popular places to stay in Great Britain have been ranked from the cheapest to the most expensive

Staycations are a great way to enjoy what the UK has to offer and the Lake District, Blackpool and the Cotswolds are often top choices.

These were among the eight most popular places to stay ranked by their affordability for vacationers this summer.


The figures, compiled by RIFT, looked at various factors, including the cost of accommodation and the price of a day out, as well as how much it would cost for fish and chips or a pint of beer.

Eight locations were analyzed and given a total index score to see which place makes them go on vacation the most if they visit this summer. The lower the cost, the higher the index score.

The Lake District proved to be the most affordable trip, with the estimated cost of a family day out being the lowest – at just £33.

The most expensive day out turned out to be in Blackpool, with a visit to Pleasure Beach setting a family back around £180.

However, holiday favorite Blackpool had the cheapest pint – with a pint costing around £3.30, a far cry from Brighton’s most expensive at £5.90.

Short-term rentals were the most expensive in the Cotswolds at £220.50 and the cheapest in Blackpool at £158.60.

Those looking for cheap fish and chips could get them for £10.48 in Blackpool, with the most expensive reaching £13.06 in Brighton.

RIFT director Bradley Post commented: “The recent wet weather may not be the only factor putting you off staying this year. Our latest index shows that, with inflation just falling, the cost of everything from accommodation to some fish and chips is higher than it was last year.
