With brits planning their 2022 summer getaways, holidays closer to home are set to remain a popular choice – specifically where there is a hot tub involved.
With this in mind, we conducted research using data from Airbnb* to find out just how much holiday makers would be willing to pay for a UK break with a hot tub. The data revealed that the average price for a bubbly addition during summer was £282.68 per night compared to the overall average price of £135.37. As similar difference exists during winter, where the price with a hot tub stands at £232.46 per night compared to the overall average nightly price of £121.55.
