Royal Family's Summer Cottage Plans

Prince William and Princess Kate are expected to stay at their private cottage, Tam-Na-Ghar, at Balmoral estate rather than the main castle, continuing the Royal Family's tradition of summering there. Meanwhile, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea in Northumberland is emerging as a budget-friendly seaside destination, offering affordable prices on amenities like pints and ice cream. In contrast, the coastal property market in Cornwall remains highly competitive, with premium prices for waterfront homes despite a slight decrease in value over the past year. Sandro Farmhouse, a former Great British Bake Off finalist, shares his experience renting a £2,800/month one-bedroom apartment in Stratford, highlighting the included amenities like a gym and spa. This diverse spectrum of living arrangements underscores the varied preferences and economic realities across the UK.
