From cosy cottage escapes to historical houses.
Vrbo has revealed its top UK holiday homes for 2024. From cosy cottage escapes to historical houses, these are the best stays to bookmark for a weekend away.
Now in its third year, the Holiday Homes of the Year highlights Vrbo's most spectacular private properties that represent a variety of popular destinations and price points.
'What stands out to me is the range in this year’s Holiday Homes of the Year – there are game rooms for families and private pubs for grown ups. This year's list is the best of the best but represents the high calibre of private holiday homes across Vrbo,' says Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands.
