Did The Traitors UK inspire you to take a countryside castle retreat (sans the late night murders)? Turns out, you're not the only one. Filmed in the gorgeous 19th-century Ardross Castle, new Airbnb research has found The Traitors UK is causing a surge in regal-inspired getaways. Since series three started earlier this month, research has shown a 120% increase in castle searches.
It seems our TV watching is impacting our holidaying habits more than we know. Previous Airbnb research revealed that two in five people say British TV shows have encouraged them to visit more of the UK than they had before. Feeling a sudden urge to explore the Scottish highlands? Claudia might be to blame...
Amanda Cupples, General Manager for the UK and Northern Europe at Airbnb, said, 'With The Traitors TV show back on everyone's screens again, our range of stunning castle stays can transport guests to their very own Traitors-esque sanctum. Plot your own game of cunning and camaraderie, with a screen-worthy castle get-away - suitable for both traitors and faithfuls.'
