Fancy a holiday? You're not the only one. 

The UK's Airbnb-ers add more pads to their wish lists than any other country in Europe, and there are some particularly interesting favourites of the nation.

Treehouses and windmills are among our faves, but in fact we have some demure dreams for holidays, according to new data from Airbnb, with more than half of the rentals located on home turf.

"As a nation of dreamers, it’s no surprise that the UK tops Europe in terms of the largest number of user Wish Lists, and it says a lot for local loyalty with most of the properties being on British soil," said Airbnb UK manager James McClure.

Here are the top 10 places we most desire to stay (click on the picture for more information).

1. Treehouse in Cornwall

2. Fairytale cabin in the woods

 3. A clock tower in St Pancras

​

4. A Kent windmill

5. Tuscany treehouse

6. Edinburgh apartment

7. Mexican seashell house

8. Fancy tent in Yorkshire

9. Bali treehouse

10. Lake District hut
