New to Host Unusual: Fairytale Glamping, Luxurious Jail Time, and a Private Greek Island!

3 November 2021

Here’s a confession… our latest selection of newly-added retreats could be our most unusual yet!

After all, how often is it that you get the chance to do (holiday) time in an iconic Cornish prison?  The Bodmin Jail Hotel even features a gourmet restaurant and Champagne bar in the original Gothic crypt.

Meanwhile, Nissos Sofiaia is a paradise-like, private Greek island for two. Not only will you’ll get to sleep on a restored fishing boat, but there’s a shimmering Ionian Sea-fed plunge pool to help you cool off in the heat.

Or how about glamping that’s straight out of a children’s fairytale, within a wild Norfolk moat surrounded by idyllic countryside, bedding down in a unique castle-hut-on-wheels?

We’ve got so much more to show you in our latest collection, from an authentic retro apartment in Margate, to a sun-soaked eco-farm retreat on the northern coast of Crete.

Come and take a look!
