Release the bunting, pop the party poppers and behold the No1 most wish-listed Airbnb for Britons in 2021 so far, which it should be noted isn’t an actual pigsty, but a pigsty-style abode on a working farm that offers two guests a ‘cosy open plan living space, a roll-top bath and beautiful views’. Naomi, Airbnb Superhost at ‘The Pigsty’, said: ‘I list “The Pigsty” with my husband, Sam, who works on the farm that has been in our family for generations. We started hosting on Airbnb in late 2019 and we’ve honestly never looked back, especially during this past year when places like ours have been in such high demand. We’ve created Winchester’s first luxury woodland hideaway and have had so many great reviews already. The most rewarding part of hosting on Airbnb – when restrictions allow, of course – is meeting and welcoming new guests to our beautiful farm and being able to earn extra money through sharing our space.’ It costs £171 a night
