Spring Forward: 21 Unmissable New Stays for ’21

26 March 2021

‘Spring Forward, Fall Back’

Never before has this old expression for the changing of the clocks (which, by the way, is this Sunday folks!) felt so appropriate.

As the lockdowns of last Autumn/Winter fell upon us it really felt like a step back in every sense, whereas we are all feeling a revived sense of optimism for the Springtime, and that includes being able to get out and explore the world once more as it gently reopens its doors. 

So we felt it only right to introduce a bevy of exciting newbies to the HU-fold. Think quirky converted vehicles, historic castles, mills & lighthouses, pop up summer glamping retreats, design-led eco homes and alluring huts & cabins.

These retreats are bound to figure on many an eager staycation-hunter’s wishlist, so we recommend booking early to reinstate that spring in your step!
