| The Cornish town of St Ives has been voted the top UK beach resort |
A new study has revealed the seaside resorts with the best rated hotels and bed & breakfasts in England.
The 28 seaside towns included in the study each had more than 50 hotels and B&Bs in the local area; and the guest ratings were compiled from a combination of trusted online review sources. A score out of ten was calculated for each town, based on the average hotel and B&B ratings awarded by customers.
The Cornish town of Looe achieved an outstanding score of 9.35 out of 10, placing it at the top of the rankings.
Also in the top five were Bude in Cornwall (with a score of 9.32), Dartmouth in Devon (with a score of 9.27), Whitby in North Yorkshire (with 9.20), and Bridlington in East Yorkshire (with 9.19).
If the pound continues to remain at a weak level during 2017, holidays in the UK may be more affordable than a trip abroad.
Linda Firth, from the lovemyvouchers.co.uk, added, “People will be looking for the best value for money, and a holiday along the English coastline could be the most attractive option for many this year. The seaside resort they decide to visit could depend on the holiday accommodation available, and the previous guest ratings provide a reasonable guide for holiday makers.”
When providing a review, hotel guests are asked about the service, value for money, location and cleanliness of the accommodation.
