Looking to get creative with your next trip? Forget about booking a boring, bog-standard hotel room, then. Instead, set up camp in one of these weird and wonderful spots.
Windmill in Norfolk (UK)
Unlike that non-descript hotel you last stayed in, the handsome 18th-century Cley Windmill is entirely worthy of a picture or two (like in our featured image by Duncan~).
A well-known local landmark, it looks over the famous Norfolk salt marshes to the quaint Blakeny Point. Sensitively converted, it’s now a simple, yet homely B&B.
Riad in Marrakech’s old city (Morocco)
There are many traditional Moroccan houses in the Marrakech medina (old, fortified town), but you’d be hard-pressed to find one as beautiful as Riad Mesc el Lil.
Not only lovingly restored and elegantly decorated, this 18th-century riad is an oasis of tranquillity tucked away down a cul-de-sac in the exclusive Mouassine district.
A treehouse in a pine forest clearing in Olympos (Turkey)
There are a lot of places out there calling themselves tree houses when they really shouldn’t be. In our eyes a tree house is not only made out of trees, but also sits high up in, well, a tree!
We’re talking cabins like the seriously cool and kooky bungalows in this ace backpacker spot in the beautiful Turkish wilds of Olympos.
The back of a truck on a country estate in the Highlands (Scotland)
The Beer Moth has to be one of the most unusual bedrooms in Britain. Once kept in a fire museum in Kent, this cleverly converted beast of a truck sits deep within the majestic grounds of an Edwardian country house (Inishriach House) in the Cairngorms National Park.
Inside there’s just enough room for a Victorian double bed, table, two chairs and a wood burner. In such a tranquil, remote spot, what else could you possibly need?
