You may say that we’re dreamers, but we’re not the only ones. Airbnb’s latest UK figures reveal that enchanting, out of the ordinary properties remain on top of Brits’ lust list.

The United Kingdom is the biggest nation of dreamers in Europe, according to Airbnb’s latest figures. Recent research has unveiled that Brits alone have created almost 2,400,000 Wish Lists on the site, ranking the UK as the top nation of ‘Wishlisters’ on Airbnb in Europe. Airbnb Wish Lists is a feature used by travellers to save and share their favourite Airbnb listings, whether its a Spanish villa or an Irish pub.

For Brits’ though, this year it’s all about the cosy and the quirky, with fanciful getaways closer to home proving most popular. Airbnb’s top ten most Wish Listed properties in the UK are…
