New to Host Unusual: Five UK staycations for any occasion

14 December 2018

Staycations for any occasion is the theme of this current selection of new and unique places.

You might be planning a special milestone birthday next year and in need of a large space to entertain your clan, or a romantic escape for two to celebrate Valentines or an anniversary. 

Perhaps you are in need of a digital detox somewhere that allows total disconnection from the world, or, you might be itching for the exhilaration of camping adventure at a location of your choosing. 

Need a friendly family retreat where animals roam freely, or possibly an amazing space for your own loved animal to enjoy along with you? Whatever your situation, we’ve got the bases covered…
