Posh beach huts, 300 quid a week to you guv

from the Sun catch it before you have to pay once it’s behind the shedwall ;)

Beach Hut Resorts at Dukes Walk will feature luxury seafront huts with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area to rent from £300 a week.

Being in the north, they also sensibly come with double glazing, full insulation, as well as a host of nifty mod cons from power shower and microwave to hi-fi and wi-fi.

The company plan to open similar huts at coastal locations across the UK.

Beach Hut Resorts’ Alex Miller says: “These could really transform the traditional British seaside holiday by offering affordable, luxury accommodation only metres from the beach.”
Each hut will sleep two to six people and each resort will be attached to an art gallery and have 24-hour security and a concierge service.

More than 20 people braved sub-zero temperatures to queue overnight in Dorset to try and secure a beach hut for the summer.

The group camped outside in temperatures as low as -8C for the huts, which are let on a first-come-first-serve basis at Avon Beach in Christchurch.

At the front of the queue was Kim Abbott who had spent the last six nights sleeping in a camper van to make sure she secured the only hut available on a long-term let.

The remainder joined her in the queue from noon on Thursday to snap up the 16 other 6ft by 4ft huts that were only available to hire for six weeks of the summer, costing £400.
