I know that the price of seemingly everything has been on the rise in the past 12 months, but can you imagine the look on my face when the price for a hotel room I’d booked in summer had almost DOUBLED in price for the same time in 2023?
Each year, my partner and I enjoy a weekend away in Sheffield for Tramlines festival, which typically runs over three days in July. Naturally, hotel rooms are more expensive when there are events on, and they usually get booked up fast - but the prices for 2023 seemed to be a LOT more than in 2022.
This year, we paid £279 for three nights in a Premier Inn from July 22 to 25 - and when I checked for that same weekend for 2023, I considered selling the festival tickets and not bothering at all.
