But according to holiday home giant Vrbo, Brits dreaming about their staycation should aim to secure deals sooner rather than later.

Vrbo has unveiled several key dates that holidaymakers should have in their diaries.

The travel experts have advised Brits to book their Easter breaks by February 9, and summer holidays before May 30.

A spokesperson for Vrbo said: “There’s nothing worse than finding the fairytale castle or the dreamy villa with an infinity pool, only to then realise that it’s already been booked for the dates you want to go away with your friends and family.

“That’s why we advise that travellers add these book-by dates to their calendar: to make sure they get the best holiday home for their trips in 2023.”

In addition to the Easter and summer holidays, Vrbo has also pinpointed other booking dates for peak season stays.

For Brits who are planning a short break during one of the three May bank holidays, bookings should be made by April 3 for the best deals.

Travellers are also being advised to book getaways for the October half-term by August 14, while those who staycation over Christmas should aim to have their winter breaks booked by October 30.

According to Vrbo, holidaymakers who plan their trip ahead of booking surges will have a better chance of choosing between the widest selection of rentals.

Organised Brits who book breaks before the deadline days will also make their money go further by snapping up the best value-for-money deals.

Bargain-hunting Brits should also be flexible with their choice of destination and take advantage of flexible cancellation policies.

Meanwhile, these tips will help you save money on your summer holidays.
