A Stay with a Difference
8th June 2009
Have you ever been on holiday and wondered why your hotel is maybe past its best? Well, now there's no need to look any further than Kent for two of the quirkiest and alluring hotel stays in the UK.
Thank heavens for hotel obsessive Steve Dobson, one of the founders of Unusual Hotels of the World. In his new book, Unusual Hotels of the UK & Ireland. The book goes beyond boring bedrooms and corporate sleep farms to identify 99 hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets where you can wake up with a story to share with friends.
Making the top 99 is Livingstone Safari Lodge, at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, offers a stay to remember, from watching the sun set over the Romney Marsh to being woken by a herd of black Rhino. Also highlighted on the website is another quirky spot highlighted on the website - Martello Tower No. 2 near Folkestone. Now a self-catering 'roundhouse', the property is one of only 25 Martello Towers still remaining and the only one available for short-term lets.
If you are intrigued by where else you could stay 'with a difference', go to www.unusualhotelsoftheworld.com or buy the book at GoUnusual.com
