The small Lancashire village of Warton famous for its beautiful nature reserve, Warton Crag, and its traditional brewery, topped the list. The village is also not too far from both Morecambe Bay and the Lake District.
Runswick Bay along the North Yorkshire coast ranked second, thanks to its sheltered bay, sandy beach and red-roofed cottages – all of which attract holidaymakers.
The coastal town of Looe in Cornwall came in third place, while other fast-growing booking locations to make the top 10 included Storrs in the Lake District and Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey.
