HM Treasury does not hold data on the total support provided specifically to self-catering holiday accommodation businesses over this period.

However, historic data on business rates reliefs in England, including Small Business Rates Relief, are published here: National non-domestic rates collected by councils - GOV.UK

Information on COVID-19 business support schemes administered by local authorities is available here: Coronavirus grant funding: local authority payments to small and medium businesses - GOV.UK
