It was only 3/4 years ago that the prices in Cornwall were reasonable. Me and my wife used to go quite often as we could could go just before the kids summer holidays (we don’t have kids). We generally used to get somewhere nice with 2 bedrooms and a seaside location for between 300 and 400 a week. Now you’re looking at 600-700 for the same places.
I don’t know why they have rocketed so much – yes I know there was the credit crunch but surely there are people who have owned the places for years so why would it cause them a problem.
I know holidaying in the UK has become more popular so is it a case of the owners being greedy? Or have costs gone up loads?
The upshot is that we don’t go anymore. As has been said, the prices are now so much we can go elsewhere for the same price. Recently went to Pembrokeshire which is a little cheaper and that was ace.
