Unique holiday home rentals

-
Sometimes when you’re booking a holiday home you’re looking for something a little bit special. A place that will stand out in your holiday photos and remain in your memory. From barns that balance like a seesaw to gypsy caravans and 1970s disco pads, here are four of the best.

Ollies 1 in Newquay, Cornwall (see pic above) is the perfect party shack. Stylishly decorated with Volkswagen camper van features, this beach-side villa is perfect for people looking to have guests over for a miniature disco. Best of all, it comes with a 52-inch TV, iPod docking station and mood lighting for the perfect night in with friends.

Roulette Retreat on the Scottish borders has a series of traditional gypsy caravans that have been decorated with immaculate vintage furniture to give it the authentic feel of a Romany caravan. Perfect for couple looking for something a little different, these retreats are beyond charming.

 




The Balancing Barn in Suffolk would be an ordinary holiday bungalow if it weren’t for the fact that it also looks a bit like a balance beam. Half of this holiday cottage in the middle of a nature reserve dangles from the edge of a plateau as though the designers made a horrible miscalculation. But of course they didn’t, the Dutch firm MVRDV knew exactly what they were doing with this elegant, if slightly bonkers silver-tiled holiday retreat.

The Island Hideaway on the Isle of Wight is like something out of a Beatrice Potter book. A gorgeous little retreat from a bygone era, this is the perfect place to escape in the summer.

The fact that you will be dealing with a wholly different market from the UK, and you have little interaction or immersion with different areas, can make selecting and committing money to a property incredibly daunting. Now is the best time to start considering making an investment in holiday property though. The Great British Pound is slowly growing in strength against the Euro, in fact buyers can expect to buy 25% more Euros per pound than they could three years ago, when the exchange rate was almost equal. It means that you get a lot more for your money. This is coupled with a housing crash in many European countries. Spain in particular is a hotspot for those looking to purchase a holiday home. Due to the severe economic downturn in the country, house prices have plummeted, with some Spanish banks offering some properties discounted up to 70% against their 2008 price. Head of Savills ...
