What your Coolstays wishlists tell us

The results from our wishlist competition tell an interesting story:

Treehouses and boathouses are the stand outs.

The dream Coolstays escape is a treehouse for two in Devon, with a hot tub and a sauna. Treehouses were picked three times more often than their share of Coolstays would suggest, and boathouses five times more often. Devon was the favourite region.

Relaxation and romance rule.

The most-picked property feature was a sauna. And it seems most people want to take their better half along for the steam - one third of all wishlist picks were places just for two.

The bucket list, not the back yard.

Distance wasn't an issue. Half of UK wishlists contain properties spread over 300 km; while only 7% stay within 50 km. One in four lists include somewhere overseas, with Italy the favourite. And 4% of wishlists were entirely abroad.

Wild beats convenient

The Outer Hebrides, Pembrokeshire, Dumfries & Galloway, the Lakes and the Highlands were picked more often than their share of listings would suggest.

Grown-up calm over family fun

Saunas, Sonos, underfloor heating and EV chargers were more popular than their availability would suggest, while pools, games rooms and table tennis were less popular. It seems people are after some grown-up time - “Family friendly” was one of the few tags selected less often than it appears across Coolstays.
