Portugal

This week's blog post features some of our finest One Off Places!  The images alone say it all - there's not much need for words, but aside from showing what these stunning properties look like, there are some great offers which need highlighting!  A beautiful Moorish casa in Andalucia, a former paper mill on a private island in France and a waterside coastguard cottage in Devon are just some of the little gems we have on offer.

From luxury woodland suites in Yorkshire, to a remote shorefront Scottish cottage, One Off Places has got your cosy winter staycation sorted.  Or if you fancy taking advantage of low season flights and venturing somewhere a little less chilly, then why not head for a Portuguese break in Lisbon or the Algarve.

Canary Islands: A pair of Mongolian yurts immediately next to each other with private terrace, sea and mountain views, just 300m from the beach in Lanzarote

Facilities:  Private WC, shower and kitchen.  The yurts are on an eco-finca which comprises several other yurts and eco accommodation as well as a shared pool, honesty shop, children’s play area, farm animals.  This yurt pair sleeps up to 6.
Transport: 30 minutes from Arrecife airport, the price includes airport transfers and exclusive use of a Toyota Prius hybrid car throughout your stay.
Price: From £165 per night / minimum stay 2 nights.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that holiday properties with any sort of character and eccentricity will cost the earth. Generic chain hotels and boring run-of-the-mill villas and apartments are always cheaper, right? Wrong. It is VERY possible to find quirky accommodation for under £50 a night, so much so that you will actually find it harder to narrow them down than you might think! Granted, you may have to think a little more outside the box in terms of time of year, location, and style of property. But if you’re prepared to be flexible and use your imagination then the world really can be your oyster for a very reasonable price.
