If you are thinking of going to stay in the normal kind of self catering Sussex where the smell of bark mulch fills your nose more than anything else why don’t you look at somewhere a bit more unusual? Well cottages are fantastic places to stay in there is no doubt about that its just you may want to stay somewhere a bit different this year?

Windmill

there are many places that you can find a windmill to stay in which is a bit surprising but many people want to stay in them. Some of the best are located in France and there are many that even have swimming pool. Windmills are always great for people that love their history as there are many of them that date way back to the 17th century.

Loch Ness

Many of these places date back 200 plus years and there are loads of places jotted around the gigantic lake. All of them have been restored and updated of course and they are awesome looking hotels. Tennis courts, golf courses and cricket pitches are available. There are even tours that go along the lake itself, anyone seen the Loch Ness Monster??

A Yurt

A lot of these places are actually sustained by the environment around them which really is amazing when you think about it. Streams provide the water, solar power provides the heating and you provide the food by hitting the streams with your fishing gear and hunting down that delicious dinner. Yurts are actually not rare at all but finding one to stay in isn’t going to be easy, the best place to look is likely to be Portugal but be warned most of them are in the middle of nowhere.

So whether you love the smell of compost from a cottage or love going away to strange places, there is always a holiday available to you.
