Fun and unusual places to stay

If you are tired of staying in your standard hotel, or backpacker hostel, why not branch out and try one of Britain’s slightly unusual types of accommodation?

Make your stay in Britain something to remember and experience life through the windows of castles, lighthouses, forts, windmills and many more. All over the country, there are hundreds of different options to choose from.

Have you ever thought of staying in a traditional Wigwam village? You’re in luck! A village has been built on Northumberland’s stunning coast, providing the perfect place to stay for those who love the great outdoors and want to be at one with nature. Visit Northumbrian Wigwams (www.northumbrianwigwams.com/) for more information.

How about a night in a converted first-class train? Rogart village in Scotland has just that and it is perfectly located for a visit to Dunrobin Castle, Glenmorangie Distillery (https://www.glenmorangie.com/landing/index.php) and the ancient town of Sutherland. Visit Sleeperzzz (www.sleeperzzz.com/) for more information.

For something a little more extravagant, you may wish to spend the nights in the courts of justice in Somerset, featuring stained glass windows, spectacular bathrooms, Jacuzzi and a sauna. Visit The Old Court (www.theoldcourt.com/) for more information.

There is no such as thing as too crazy and no imagination too wild. Hundreds of people every morning are waking up in gypsy caravans, post offices and prison cells and have paid for the luxury to do so! With prices starting at less than your average hotel night, but with all the modern trappings and comfort, you would definitely have something exciting to write home about.
