Unique Accommodation

Unique Accommodation in Stunning Settings

At Not In The Guidebooks, we are constantly scouring the earth for unusual places to stay and unique examples of accommodation that help you truly get under the skin of a destination. The idea is that all our accommodation is either off the beaten track, allowing you to luxuriate in the knowledge that you have got far off the tourist trail so you can truly relax, sustainable, so that you can travel whilst having a minimal impact upon the earth, or is simply an unusual place to stay that shows you a unique side to a destination.

What sort of unique accommodation can I expect?

Here are just some of the unique, quirky accommodation options that we offer here at Not In The Guidebooks, to help you gain some inspiration for that next unforgettable trip to a quiet corner of the world. We search for unusual places to stay that have a character that is unique to their surroundings, whether it’s a rural farmhouse sitting comfortably in the countryside, or a treehouse suspended in a deep, quiet forest.

Luxury Treehouse Experience

Sleep deep in the Welsh forests, suspended in the canopy in total isolation in a unique, beautifully designed treehouse to really help you unwind and recharge. Created by local artisans and designers, these unique structures are in the trees and help you reconnect with nature. Relax in a treetop hammock, light the log-burning stove, and soak in the wood-fired hot tub.

Yurt Glamping Experience

Bring a sense of Central Asia to the UK by opting to sleep in a yurt. These circular structures are designed to get you as close to nature as possible, but in a unique and comfortable way with proper beds, wood-burning stove, and not four walls, but one circular wall.

Quirky Cottage Made of Reclaimed Wood

If staying on an estate and in a private cottage made of reclaimed wood appeals, then this is the experience for you. Relax in a cosy cottage in the woods and enjoy an evening outdoors in a wood-fired bath.

Glamping Pods

Sleep in a pod in the heart of Shropshire with a private hot tub for you to relax in after a day walking and exploring. These pods combine the perfect mix of comfort and minimalist living to enable you to get closer to nature, yet in a quirky and comfortable manner.

What Makes NITGB Accommodation Unusual Places to Stay?

We pride ourselves on only sourcing accommodation that is a genuinely unusual place to stay, something out of the ordinary that you’ll remember for years to come when you look back on your holidays.

To ensure our quirky accommodation is genuinely unique, we will make sure we don’t promote your bog-standard flat or apartment. Our unique accommodation will either be located in a genuinely off the beaten track area, will combine a beautiful place to stay with activities unique to the local area, or simply be a genuinely unusual place to stay, whether it’s an outdoor wood-fired bath, a medieval dungeon dining area, a genuine Scottish castle, or a real-life working farm.

Our aim is to bring something unusual to our customers for them to stay in. As with our experiences, the idea is to provide a unique view of a well-travelled area, or take you to some of the most untouched parts of the world.
