Owners of getaway-from-it-all holiday homes in Norfolk are seeing bookings rise as people plan for when lockdown eases.
Bookings for staycations generally are on the increase as holiday firms mostly offer full discounts if trips have to be cancelled because of Covid. And, as foreign travel looks increasingly more tricky, many people are choosing a holiday closer to home.
Rachel Wastnage, who lets out Manor House barn in Cley, which she's been running as a holiday home for 10 years, said she is almost completely booked up for July, August and September.
"Back in January I had hardly any bookings but suddenly it just went woosh and from June to September has completely gone apart from the last week in September. I'm now getting some people booking for Easter, feeling really hopeful.
"I offer a 100pc discount if you have to cancel because of Covid so people can take a punt without the fear of losing their money."
At holiday cottage firm Barefoot Retreats, based in Burnham Market, a spokeswoman said they were also nearly booked up for the whole of August. "We are finding bookings on the rise now, some people want to be in walking distance of a beach, others more of a rural location."
