Are you looking for a staycation a little more thrilling than a cottage by the sea?
Well look no further, as whether you fancy sleeping in an aeroplane cockpit or cosying up for the night in a cave – there’s a holiday home for you.
A simple hotel stay isn’t for everyone, and quirky holiday retreats have been popping up across the country in recent years.
From an old railway station in the Scottish Highlands to Welsh ‘moon bathing’, there are many places you can have an out-of-the-ordinary trip.
Here, MailOnline reveals some of the strangest Airbnbs you can book for a unique UK stay.
Jetstream, Lincolnshire
This Lincolnshire camping spot turns the cockpit into the destination for just £115 a night
However to make a cup of tea or use the toilet you will have to leave the plane
The small aircraft is kitted out with a King bed up against the cockpit
The Jetstream is a plane that has been converted into a glamping pod and it can fit up to five people ‘at a squeeze’
Many people think planes are simply for travelling somewhere else.
But this Lincolnshire camping spot turns the cockpit into the destination, for just £115-a-night.
The Jetstream is a plane that has been converted into a glamping pod and it can fit up to five people ‘at a squeeze’.
The small aircraft is kitted out with a King bed up against the cockpit and a v-shaped double bed squeezed into the nose of the aircraft – which is called the radome. There is also a small pull-out single bed.
However to make a cup of tea or use the toilet you will have to leave the plane – but you won’t have to travel far as the kitchen and bathroom are just 20m away.
Cromdale Railway Station, Strathspey
Cromdale Railway Station is now one of the Scottish Highlands’ most unique holiday destinations
What was once a ticket office is now the kitchen, while the waiting room has become the lounge
The converted railway station in Strathspey, which was built in 1863, also comes with a train carriage made into a camping coach
Guests have access to an art studio in the ‘station master’s shed’ and a games room – which comes with a ping pong table, small pool table and table football
Closed to passengers in 1965, Cromdale Railway Station is now one of the Scottish Highlands’ most unique holiday destinations.
The converted railway station in Strathspey, which was built in 1863, also comes with a train carriage made into a camping coach.
What was once a ticket office is now the kitchen, while the waiting room has become the lounge. The lamp room now has a triple bunk bed in it, making it the perfect room for kids.
With five bedrooms, the station and carriage combined can sleep up to eight people – which works out as a bargain at £238-a-night. There is even a summer house complete with garden toys and a barbecue.
On top of the nostalgia of staying in a disused railway station, guests have access to an art studio in the ‘station master’s shed’ and a games room – which comes with a ping pong table, small pool table and table football. There is also a trampoline and a rowing machine.
White Cliffs cave, Kent
But this house in Dover, Kent, comes complete with its very own not-at-all-creepy White Cliffs cave
Described as a ‘once-in-a-lifetime experience’ by its host, you can dine, relax, or even sleep in an actual cave, for just £144-a-night
Eerie pictures of the cave show it scattered with candles in cross holders, colourful lights and what appear to be markings scratched into the wall
While the two-bedroom home itself appears ordinary, the dark entrance to the cave can be seen and accessed from the kitchen
On the face of it this may look like a humble home for a quiet coastal stay.
But this house in Dover, Kent, comes complete with its very own not-at-all-creepy White Cliffs cave.
Described as a ‘once-in-a-lifetime experience’ by its host, you can dine, relax, or even sleep in an actual cave, for just £144-a-night.
While the two-bedroom home itself appears ordinary, the dark entrance to the cave can be seen and accessed from the kitchen.
Eerie pictures of the cave show it scattered with candles in cross holders, colourful lights and what appear to be markings scratched into the wall – as well as the rather forlorn-looking outline of a face.
Sleep Explorer’s Globe, Leicestershire
What makes the Sleep Explorer’s Globe, in Hallaton, Lecestershire, stand out, is that it looks as though it’s floating
It has one double bed, one single bed and an oil heater and wood burner for colder nights
The ‘low-impact’ dome, which can sleep three people, is situated in a two-acre patch of woodland – and is a strictly no-wifi type of retreat
The £150-a-night eco-Globe has a composting loo and a warm shower with a view of the woods so you can really feel at one with nature
