Speaking to one of our favourite lettings sources this year at Newquay and across the south west - we heard some not too surprising news - but to some this might make a jaw or 2 drop. Here is what they said in a press release today.
Blue Chip holiday boomPublished Tuesday, February 15th, 2011
Self catering holiday homes specialist Blue Chip Holidays is reporting bookings up by 86% compared to the same time last year.
The company has 800 holiday homes across the south west, Wales and the Isle of Wight, 40% of which are in Cornwall.
Bookings in Newquay, where the company has over 160 properties, have risen 158%, while business is also growing rapidly in St Ives and Looe, with figures up 231% and 161% respectively.
Blue Chip MD Alan Taylor commented: “2010 was our busiest year to date and 2011 looks like it has all the makings of another record-breaker. We’re already seeing a number of our most popular holiday homes, coastal apartments, cottages and lodges booking out for the summer months, and we’re boosting our portfolio of high end self-catering properties to cope with demand.”
Looks like Midas rentals are going to be very strong and it is reflective of people's choices to stay in the UK for their holidays to keep costs down and stay local.
