Looking for a cheap spring break? Best avoid Skye …

- By JANE BRADLEY

The Isle of Skye has been found to be the most expensive spring destinatio­n in the United Kingdom for accommodat­ion, a report has claimed, with St Andrews coming a close runner-up.

The survey compared hotel rates for April 2019 across 100 popular UK destinatio­ns. For each destinatio­n, the average rate for the most affordable double room in a centrally located – three-star or above – hotel or guest house was establishe­d.

The average price for a room on Skye was found to be £121, followed by the Fife university town at £117, according to a survey by Cheaprooms.co.uk.

Meanwhile, in England the most expensive destinatio­n is the market town of Bakewell in Derbyshire, where visitors can expect to pay an average of £111 per night for a spring break.
