New research from Student Beans found a few staycation breaks where the price won’t break the bank. The cheapest UK holiday spot is one of Britain’s favourite seaside destinations.
The team looked at the number of budget hotels, the average cost of a room, the price of a meal, public transport and reviews to determine the best bargain break.
Blackpool topped the rankings with a hotel room for two costing just £126, cheaper than the price of renewing two passports.
The ultimate British seaside resort, Blackpool is famous for its Illuminations, ballroom dancing and quirky nightlife.
As the weather starts to cheer up, it could be the perfect time to spend a day relaxing on Blackpool beach.
A tourist ‘Aly T’ wrote on Tripadvisor: “Breezy but magnificent. Loved taking in the sea air as we strolled along from the hotel to the tower.”
‘Stuart H’ said: “This beach must be world famous and deserves to be! At low tide there are miles of clean, golden sand with three piers to wander under.”
But if the weather doesn’t comply, tourists don’t need to worry as Blackpool has plenty of rainy day activities.
The home of ballroom dancing, tourists could take to the floor at Blackpool Tower or enjoy afternoon tea at the opulent cafe.
