Totally agree.
Holidays Costs in UK

You're comparing 4 person accommodation against 2 person accommodation? Just because you book for 2 people in a 4 person caravan doesn't mean you'll get it for half the cost.

Indeed.
Find me a 1 bedroom 'Van. Plus the apartment can also sleep 4, two in the bedroom, and two on the sofa bed.

People consider staying in a caravan a holiday?!
You couldn't pay me to sleep in one of those things!
But yes, if prices have been inflated massively then that's really not on. But people lost a lot of money last year due to lack of visitors, so I guess they need to try and make that back somehow.

I doubt you'll find one.
That still doesn't mean you get it any cheaper for only 2 people than a booking of 4 people would.
A studio apartment doesn't have a bedroom. It's just 1 room.

Ah yes, an industry that has pretty much had no revenue stream for an entire year is now 'preying' on people.
My company has been haemorrhaging $250 million per month, and has had to borrow billions to stay afloat.

Ah yes, sorry I was thinking of my booking which is a 1 bed apartment.
The above holiday in a 1 Bedroom apartment that sleeps 4 is £1,028 - inc flights
Right. Instead of staying in the water and under the umbrella...
I don't think that bit is mandatory.
UK holidays are great when it's sunny. But it almost never is (or at least isn't predictable) so I'd never book something in the UK.

It's a good choice but when you're sitting on the beach in 27 degrees drinking beer you'll never be able to shift that thought that if you'd only paid a little more you could be relaxing in a caravan in England hiding from the rain

It's just about fairly comparing..
Using an extreme example where you are paying for 4 irrespective of a smaller party size is being a bit dishonest...
How about you just rent a cottage for '2' in cornwall instead for £539?? one that is commensurate with your party size?

if we are fairly comparing, the cottage needs to be 1 min walk from the beach.

and have aweful sound and heat insulating properties, dodgy corner sofas and be on wheels
It's been this way since the 90s imo. UK holidays just cost a bomb. You pay a premium to stay somewhere like Cornwall/Devon/Bournemouth or a coastal place. It's packed with busy roads because everything is compressed towards the coast with parking issues. It then rains all week, all the other kids are off too so everything is busy. You then pay UK prices to take kids to theme parks and zoos and stuff. Then you pay to take the family out to dinner most evenings. Costs a fortune. Going abroad is better in pretty much every way.
