Beach hut holidays: 6 fabulous beach huts you can rent for a UK break
Fancy something different for your next seaside escape? Try these holiday rentals with private beach huts
Dreaming of escaping to the beach? Now that lockdown is easing and we're able to explore more of the UK, you'll want to plan the perfect staycation – and beach hut holidays are the way to go.
Giving you something different to a usual seaside cottage, beach hut holidays offer beautiful rentals that come with private beach huts so you can enjoy your own corner of the coast when you head down to the sea.
Some of the best beach hut holidays are as luxurious as you'd imagine too: think hot tubs and huts you can actually sleep in. Others come with sprawling seaside homes for groups or cute cottages close to the sea.
Whether you're planning a seaside escape as a couple, family or friends and would like exclusive use of a beach hut while you're there, these beach hut holidays from HomeAway are worth checking out.
