Getting Those Creative Juices Flowing

We’ve all got a creative streak in us. Admittedly it is buried a little deeper in some than in others, but it’s definitely there - and sometimes all that quiet voice needs is a little bit of space, encouragement and inspiration. So if you’re looking for your next project but you haven’t yet found your muse, take a look at some of these gorgeous One Off Places.
Good for the Soul - One Off Places to Soothe the Senses

The phrase ‘good for the soul’ probably means vastly varying things to different people, especially in relation to a holiday. Some may envisage rural escapism, others may picture a deserted beach, and perhaps your idea of a restorative retreat involves sunrise yoga, luxurious spa treatments or a reconnection with nature.

Post-Lockdown Travel: A Seaside Staycation

Our pick of remote places to stay after the lifting of lockdown

Here in the UK, we're inching closer, little by little, to the gradual lifting of lockdown. As at today, the self-catering holiday industry is hoping to be able to restart, in some form or another, in early July. Of course, things may change, but in our opinion, there's no harm in a bit of dreaming, in the hope of the dream becoming reality. Today's blog post highlights four of our favourite remote properties, three in Scotland, and one in Greece. Lots of people will be in search of remote self-catering properties where they can enjoy the wide open spaces and fresh air, and crucially, a change of scene! We have lots of these options on One Off Places, but here are a few to spark the imagination.
