New to Host Unusual: Extraordinary Stays with Original Cottages

4 October 2019

Host Unusual are delighted to have teamed up with Original Cottages, who bring together amazing and unique properties through 29 truly-local brands.

The portfolio has something for everyone and when we say that it is unique, we mean it is really unique.

Whether you’re looking to stay in a Norfolk mill set on a remote island, a romantic shepherds hut on a working Suffolk farm, a wooden cabin designed for star-gazing, a Grade II listed former gatehouse on the famous Holkham Estate or indeed, anything in-between – we have what you are looking for.   
Here we introduce a range of varied properties all with their own story, identity and quirks.

The truly-local Original Cottages team in truly-local offices are knowledgeable, friendly and enjoy nothing more than helping you find your perfect escape. 

Together we’ll tell you where the best place to walk your four-legged friend is locally, where you’ll find the scrummiest cream tea and all the secrets that will make your holiday unforgettable.
