Becoming increasingly popular over recent years, there’s something incredibly romantic about booking a stay in a holiday yurt, a bell tent or a safari tent.

Houseboats for Holidays on the Water

Treehouse Holidays
For a completely different holiday experience why not reconnect with your inner child and book a stay in a kooky holiday treehouse where you can stay under a canopy of leaves. Usually built oout of wood or timber, holiday treehouses can make any age of holidaymaker feel young again.
