Extraordinary explorations

19th January 2012 Print

Several surveys have noted an increasing trend towards a desire to seek out the unusual in a holiday, something which could be considered a one off experience. Certainly, one of the greatest appeals of a holiday is escapism. Everyone occasionally has the urge to flee the doldrums of every day life and get away for a week or two. So, then, why not go somewhere you would never normally go, and see things you don’t normally see? Pure Holiday Homes has a huge variety of unusual rentals to search from, and you are bound to find something that would make your holiday a truly extraordinary experience.

Pure Holiday Homes can offer plenty of alternatives to the usual apartment, villa, hotel or cottage holiday accommodation, but perhaps it would be true to say that any alternatives are not often acknowledged or known about. Sean Collins, CEO of Pure Holiday Homes has commented that ‘many people just aren’t aware of the great choice of holiday rentals on offer to them; whatever your preference, from cottages to castles, Pure Holiday Homes is the best place to find something to suit’. Imagine staying in a hotel overlooking a city view; undeniably, a nice thought, yes. But perhaps your next holiday should be something different. Many people can say that they’ve stayed in a hotel, apartment or cottage before, but very few can saw they’ve stayed in a castle…

With that in mind, here are a few of the strangest and arguably greatest property types that Pure Holiday Homes has to offer…

The castle- Let your imagine run wild whilst walking the historic corridors of a medieval castle, and feel like royalty whilst you dine in a banquet hall. A holiday in a castle is a magical thing, and Pure Holiday Homes has a great variety of listed properties. For instance, you could stay in this historic castle in Yorkshire (property ref. 25208) , built between 1420 and 1450 and said to have been home to Catherine Parr for ten years before she became Henry VIII’s sixth wife. Where better to experience a true taste of history than in a real castle? Pure Holiday Homes has around 70 to choose from.

The houseboat- Fancy a holiday on the move? Then the houseboat is perfect. Wake up in the morning to a riverside view, and explore a location with a new perspective. Pure Holiday Homes has a number of different houseboats to have a look at; one in the heart of Paris (property ref. 33359), would give a completely different view of the romantic city.

The windmill- When you think of a windmill you may not immediately think of packing your bags and going on holiday, but perhaps you should. Pure Holiday Homes has several windmill based properties on offer. On your next holiday you could be staying, for example, in this beautiful and historic wooden windmill sleeping six in Windsor (property ref. 25894) ; visit the royal town whilst using this charming property with a stunning interior as your home away from home. Get a feel for the past whilst surrounding yourself in unusual architecture by holidaying in a windmill!

For your next holiday, think outside the box and book an extraordinary property. This is something of which Pure Holiday Homes has in abundance, with over 26,500 properties listed in over 85 countries. Pure Holiday Homes has an accessible and user friendly website through which you can book your next holiday, and avoid all hidden costs by booking directly from the owner.
