What counts as an unusual place to stay?
If it makes you stop scrolling and say, "Can we actually stay there?", you're on the right track. Think treehouses tucked into woodland, cabins shaped like mushrooms, floating boats, converted grain silos, roundhouses, shepherd's huts, railway carriages and all sorts of imaginative hideaways. Every place in our collection has that lovely feeling of being somewhere you'll still be talking about long after you've unpacked. 

Are unusual places to stay comfortable?
Very much so. Quirky doesn't mean compromising on a good night's sleep. Every Canopy & Stars stay is personally inspected to make sure the clever design is matched by comfort, whether that's a proper bed, a hot shower, a wood burner or a bath with a view. 

What's the most unusual place to stay in the UK?
That's a bit like asking us to choose a favourite tree. You could spend the night in a beehive-shaped cabin, a Viking-inspired turf house, a floating boat, a treehouse high in the canopy or a converted silo in the middle of a vineyard. The best one is usually the one that makes you grin the moment you see it. 

Are unusual stays good for romantic breaks?
They were practically made for them. There's something about escaping somewhere completely unexpected that makes switching off a little easier. Whether you're watching the stars from an outdoor bath, cooking over a fire pit or waking up to birdsong instead of traffic, these are the kinds of places that make ordinary weekends feel anything but ordinary. 

Do you have unusual places to stay with hot tubs?
Yes, although we'd never say a hot tub is what makes a place unusual. Some of our quirkiest stays happen to have one, whether it's perched beside a treehouse, overlooking a valley or tucked into a woodland clearing. If a soak under the stars is on your wishlist, you can filter your search to find exactly that. 

Are your unusual stays dog friendly?
Many of them are. We know adventures are better with a four-legged companion, so lots of our cabins, huts and hideaways welcome dogs. Simply use the dog-friendly filter to find places where wagging tails are just as welcome as muddy boots.

How do you choose your unusual places to stay?
We don't just collect places that look good in photos. Every stay is visited by our team before it joins the collection. We check the details, the comfort and, most importantly, whether it delivers that unmistakable feeling of staying somewhere you've never stayed before. If it doesn't have that spark, it doesn't make the cut.
