However, English tourists will not be allowed back during this date as the restrictions do not lift until April 12.

Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford told BBC's Today programme: "At Easter time, Welsh people will be able to travel for holidays over Easter within Wales, and to self-contained accommodation.

"The rules in England will not permit that. The  says that for the weeks after March 29, people should minimise travel, there are to be no holidays, and people won't be allowed to stay away from home overnight.

"If it won't be safe to stay overnight in England, then obviously it would not be safe for people to travel into Wales.

According to , self-catered accommodation website Unique Homestays has warned that 92 per cent of summer holiday dates are booked up, with Oliver's Travels has just eight per cent of properties still available during the summer season.

Last month, Sun Online Travel revealed that some families were even being put on waiting lists for holidays in Cornwall due to demand.
