From rural retreats in Truro and St Tudy to seaside escapes on the Isles of Scilly, the 33 sites are a huge draw for visitors. With each rented for a seven-day stretch in August it would bring in an estimated £76,000.

One week before schools restart ranges from £935 at Hoopers cottage to £7,060 for a group of 16 staying at the Loskeyle Collection.

Restormel Manor, where William sometimes stays, costs £4,742 for three nights in August and £6,775 for seven. ‘Tamarisk, which is fully booked, was where his parents Charles and Diana stayed.

Several homes were created from disused farm buildings and many are rated dog-friendly.
