Book now, relax later
Public service announcement: it's not too late to get away for the summer.
As our favourite season draws nearer, if you're one of the many who's planning to get away but hasn't had the time to book anything yet, don't fret. The several Instagram stories you've seen about there being nada available simply aren't true.
We've done some digging to find you the boujee-est looking Air B n B's still with availability for the upcoming months. And the best bit? They've all got either a hot tub or a pool, to boot. Don't say we aren't good to you.
Whether you're after a countryside retreat and surrounding yourself in nature, or a visit to a re-vamped barn, there's something for every holiday need in this roundup. But book quick - availability is dwindling fast.
Why, when we may be allowed to travel abroad, should you holiday in the UK, we hear you ask? Well, aside from the fact that you'll lower how far you could potentially spread coronavirus if you do happen to have it, you'll be supporting the local economy and seeing some of the many beautiful sights the UK has to offer, too.
Save you trawling the internet for hours, we've rounded up ten seriously luxe-looking Air B and B options that still have availability for the summer.
