If you are thinking of going to stay in the normal kind of Sussex cottages 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

Well like the title suggest this is a bit of a strange one to stay in but there are many places you can look to stay in one. Many of the best ones are found in France and even have their own 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 tours that go across the lake, is the Loch Ness Monster really made up?

A Yurt

This has to be the most unique one on the list simply because when you stay in them it is amazing to see just how much can be sustained from the area around 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. The best place to find Yurts that you can actually stay in would be Portugal and although many of them are in the middle of nowhere there are always shops not too far away in case you do not fancy catching your dinner.

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.
