Location is key when searching for a unique place to stay in the countryside, which is why Horseshoe House has made it onto our list of unique and unusual places to stay in the UK. The house is perfectly placed to admire its wonderful setting overlooking the Peak District and has been beautifully renovated and kitted out with rustic, country-style interiors with a modern twist. We adore the master bedroom with its original beamed ceiling and the open bathroom plan with a luxurious soaking tub that overlooks the spectacular scenery. Perfect for families, this unique barn conversion in the Peak District sleeps up to 6 guests and has 3 bedrooms.
Rent a castle in Scotland and feel like royalty as you explore the medieval interiors that brim with character. Ogilvie Castle is a truly unique place to stay in Scotland, with five floors of living space, all connected by a spiral staircase, this beautifully restored castle has everything you need for a magical stay including its very own chapel. Tuck into family feasts in the Grand Hall, which is the entertainment hub of the castle, with a dining table that can seat up to 16 guests and a cosy lounge space with open fire to keep you warm. Each of the seven bedrooms is uniquely styled to make you feel like a VIP, four of which have four poster beds that make them very romantic. The master bedroom boasts an open-plan bathroom with roll-top bath and freestanding shower for indulgence. Great for any season, this unusual castle in the Scottish Highlands provides four bikes free of charge to enjoy the surrounding scenic area.
Escape to the Scottish countryside in a 19th century mill that has been uniquely converted for a luxurious stay. Winnow Mill is an eco-friendly countryside rental home that has been restored using locally sourced hardwoods throughout and fuses old and new interiors to create an unusual stay. Unique touches include an oak wood shepherds hut for toasting marshmallows beneath the stars, a sauna room for some pampering and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with open fire.
