Our take

According to Snaptrip, it is very difficult to find the right holiday, at the right price, at the right moment. The company aims to solve this problem through its marketplace where travellers can discover over 60,000 accommodations the UK, all of which show live availability and prices, and are instantly bookable.

Snaptrip brings together online accommodation marketplaces dedicated to cottages, lodges, hotels and villa holidays. It aims to offer customers a wide choice of properties at affordable prices; from spontaneous coastal holidays with a loved one to half-term family deals, big group getaways, and Christmas cottages.

The company began acquiring businesses in 2017 with the purchase of Last Minute Cottages. Since then it has bought iknow UK and LateRooms, as well as Hot Tub Hideaways, as it pursued aggressive growth and profitability targets. Snaptrip will continue to look for acquisitions that fast-track access to new niche markets and offer the opportunity to broaden its customer base of both holidaymakers and property partners for their mutual benefit.
