The 9 most desired Airbnbs in the UK

Airbnb has revealed a list of the most lusted-after properties on their site throughout the UK in order to help impart some autumn travel inspiration.

The properties were chosen based on the number of Airbnb members that have added each to their "wish-list" of must-visit locations.

9. Docked in London's Little Venice, "Jessie" the narrowboat may only be six feet wide but can sleep up to four people. The barge — which costs around £150 per night — features a full bathroom, TV, wifi, a wood-burning stove, and a deck where visitors can watch other barges saunter by.

8. Ambers Bell Tents in North Norfolk take "glamping" to another level, turning the summer past-time into a possibility all year round from £95 per night.

7. Dairsie Castle has seen military sieges, secret parliaments, and runaway monarchs since it was first sited in the 12th century. Now the castle, just a 15-minute drive from St Andrews, can be rented out by groups of up to 13 people and makes the perfect base camp from which to set off and explore some more of Scotland's legends. A one night stay starts at £550, which comes in at just £42.30 per person between a group of 13.

3. Perched in a treetop that looks out across the Cornish beaches and countryside, £100-a-night Tree Sparrow House is a fairytale cabin and magical retreat that harks back to childhood memories of camping out in a Wendy house — just with double-glazing and heating.
