Blackpool is no longer the UK's top staycation spot, according to a study (Image: Getty) Blackpool is no longer considered the UK’s best staycation destination, as accommodation and activity costs have risen, according to a new report. Instead, the Lake District and Dorset have now emerged as popular destinations. The latest Staycation Index by finance specialists RIFT based their ranking on the affordability of accommodation, the cost of a family day out to a nearby attraction, the price of a pint and the cost of a fish and chip supper.
“The recent wet weather might not be the only factor putting you off a staycation this year. Our latest index shows that with inflation having only just eased, the cost of everything from accommodation to some fish and chips is higher than it was last year", Bradley Post, managing director of RIFT , said. "That’s not to say you can’t have a great holiday if you plan appropriately and if you know where to look, there are some bargains to be had.
