New to Host Unusual: Sugar-Sweet Retreats, Glass-Fronted Treetop Lodges, a Vintage School Bus… and More!

26 April 2022

There’s so much variety in our latest collection of retreats, that whatever your holiday taste, we’re confident you’ll discover a brand-new favourite right here.

If you’ve got a group of friends and family in tow, how about a sugar-sweet retreat with its very own kitchen disco, set within the walls of a 13th century castle in the Quantock Hills?

Meanwhile, Ireland’s sweeping north coast is the perfect place to relax with your loved one, especially when you can admire the scenery from a glass-fronted treetop lodge with an al fresco whirlpool bath.

You could also spend quality family time together in ancient Essex woodland, courtesy of a vintage American bus that’s perfect for off-grid reconnection in nature.

But if you’d rather escape the UK altogether, simply head for the sun-soaked Algarve and a spacious, laid-back safari tent with a shimmering pool, and a lounging terrace with views of the surrounding natural park.

If none of this has whetted your holiday appetite, rest assured there’s plenty more in store!  Read on to browse stargazing cabins, gorgeous glamping havens, idyllic beach houses, and Scandi-style sanctuaries.
