Quirky or unusual UK hotels?

Question

hi there

anyone know of any quirky or unusual hotels?pubs?b&bs? in the uk? dont want to go for the norm....thanks xx

Answer 1

Portmeirion!

"Where am I?"

"In the Village..."

Be seeing you.

Or if you'd accept self-catering, the Landmark Trust has a remarkable collection of converted follies, forts, prisons, castles and towers.

Answer 2

I hear that Fawlty Towers in Devon is quite quirky.

Answer 3

I second pedestal's Portmeirion suggestion (but you'll have day-trippers all around you all the time); and also the mentioning of the Landmark Trust.

Also, the National Trust rents out historic buildings, but that's mostly self-catering or Youth Hostels....

I know that there's a hotel somewhere in Scotland where they have a room up a tree; but it's not affordably to any human being.

But what about tree-camping in Cornwall:

Answer 6

Try The Russian Tavern on the Scottish Isle of Bute.

The seafood is landed on the pier outside, the Russian cuisine is superb, Real Ales are poured direct from casks on the bar, there's Russian wines, beers and vodkas. Right on the seafront at the yacht bay of Port Bannatyne. Curlews and seals share the beach while wild deer and hares graze the golf course at the rear. Swim with the seals.
