self-catering

The Welsh government wants people staying overnight in Wales to pay £1.30 plus VAT per night for hotels, B&Bs and self-catering accommodation, and 80p plus VAT for hostels and campsites, possibly from 2027, if passed by the Senedd.

She said without the "bed stock" of self-catering properties "we don't have the facilities for tourists to stay".

She said there were "huge numbers" of empty properties for sale, because people had left the self-catering sector due to the 182-day threshold, but that they were too expensive or unsuitable to be local homes.

This would mean that the fee for staying at hotels, B&Bs and self-catering accommodation would increase from the £1.25 originally proposed to £1.30 per person per night.

The pub closed in 2019 but people can still stay in self-catering accommodation there.
