9 Truly Unique Properties to Fall in Love With

While we’re not short of wonderful holiday homes, it’s the extra special accommodation that guests truly fall in love with. We’re talking about converted churches, old castles, boathouses, train stations and places that even we struggle to explain.

Our Truly Unique collection offers holiday experiences like no other. Here’s just a small selection, but you can find plenty more on cottages.com.

Spout Crag Boathouse, Windermere

A romantic retreat with a regal feel, this castellated gate tower offers a lovely open fire, carved four poster bed and Victorian bathroom. The North Wales coastline is just a 5 minute walk away too, so there are few better, or more memorable, romantic retreats.

Beach Bay Cottage, Outer Hebrides

Beach Bay

Very much a truly unique property, Beach Bay Cottage is located on white sands of Uig Bay and offers natural stone and turf roofed accommodation built into the hillside. The perfect place to get away from it all, you can enjoy a 2-person sauna and Jacuzzi bath.

Knock Old Castle, Ayrshire

Knock Old

The definitive ‘fairy-tale accommodation’, Knock Old Castle offers an unforgettable holiday in a converted 14th century castle. Quirky interiors with not a straight line in sight, painted ceilings, a glass domed lookout and wonderful sauna – you will find a luxury holiday like no other at Knock Old Castle.

San Quirico, Umbria

Tuscany

Formerly a lookout tower with amazing 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside, San Quirico is now the definitive historic accommodation in Umbria. Take walks from the property, relax by the pool or just enjoy the amazing unspoilt accommodation – it’s the perfect Italian escape!
