Rather excitingly, our newest retreats at Host Unusual include a world-first – a jaw-dropping Net Zero conversion of a 19th century church. Set close to Hadrian’s Wall in rural Northumberland, the sumptuous three-bedroom retreat is particularly ideal for eco-conscious travellers who crave high-end luxury.
You could also choose to catch a bus for a first-class Devon break – complete with stylish retro interiors and a private garden that boasts a hot tub with bubbles and colour-changing lights! Or how about bedding down in a glorious Art Deco seaside folly that looks wistfully out to St. Ouen’s Bay, in Jersey’s vast, scenic National Park?
But if you’ve got a group of your favourite people in tow, you can’t beat a raucous pub lock-in for endless laughter and memory-making. Just choose your ideal style and destination for sublime whole-inn hire: the Peak District (temptingly close to Alton Towers!), Swansea’s beautiful Celtic Trail, or a fun Hertfordshire pub with a private garden and a ‘secret’ door.
Travelling further afield? Unwind to spectacular sea-and-mountain views from a remote Sicilian reef with its own private bathing cove, or luxuriate in an architect-designed Croatian coastal retreat, with a Mediterranean garden and a shimmering pool.
In short: if you’re ready to be charmed and captivated by some of the world’s most unusual places to stay, look no further!
