Newly Added

Our Top 20 New Additions to Host Unusual, from Submarines to Arctic Igloos!

14 September 2020

As the seasons in different corners of the globe are on the cusp of changing, they will naturally bring new colours, shades and a fresh outlook to bask in – and we figured a collection of new and exciting unique places to stay would go hand in hand perfectly!

So, as if by magic, here they are: our Top 20 new additions to our growing family of hand-selected properties, carefully curated for those who seek something with a bit more substance from their holiday accommodation.
On this roll call, we certainly have a quirky line-up. Shipping containers, castles, arctic igloos, eco-friendly lodges, contemporary cubes, beachside boltholes, roundhouses, fantasy-themed retreats, bothies, historic mills, a submarine and even a cosy bunk inside a stable – complete with equine friends!

This certainly is no ordinary cast, but then, after all, you’re no ordinary holidaymaker… so why not give yourself the quirky break you deserve and book into one of these glorious new recruits?
