Breaks Prove Popular

Ahead of the highly anticipated return of Broadchurch this evening (27th February 2017), leading self-catering holiday company cottages.com predicts a surge of bookings to the region by holidaymakers inspired by the locations seen in the show.

Simon Norton at cottages.com said: “Broadchurch has become one of the biggest events in the television calendar and has had a clear influence on where people decide to go on holiday in the UK. Over the period the second series aired in 2015, bookings to were up 64% against the monthly average. What’s more, almost a third (31%) of the breaks booked to that year, where the show is filmed, were booked whilst the show was on our screens. This evident uplift leads us to believe that the third and final series will have just as big an influence on breaks to the county.”
