When it comes to choosing a special luxury property for your summer holiday you don\u2019t have to stick to cottages, log cabins and apartments.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of quirky options available to make your break particularly memorable. Wherever you are planning to stay in the British Isles or Ireland there is an abundance of unique luxury self-catering accommodation<\/a>, some with a rich history attached and others which have entertaining idiosyncratic individual features.<\/p>\n

If you are looking at staying somewhere just a little bit different this summer, then here are some ideas to help you decide:<\/p>\n

1 A Luxury Tree House Getaway
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"UniqueUp to five people can stay at a visually amazing two-bedroomed Treehouse in Somerset<\/a>. The property, which boasts an open plan living area with underfloor heating and solid wooden floors, is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is even a hot tub to help make the most of those sultry days and nights and the kids will adore staying there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 A Stay in a Quality Lakeside Yurt<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Unique<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t fancy camping but you want to enjoy the rustic charm of spending your holiday in the great outdoors, then a yurt might be just the accommodation you are looking for. A lakeside yurt in the Cotswolds<\/a> comes with a double bed, bath, kitchen and coal effect gas fire. This property is ideal for a romantic break and it\u2019s pet-friendly too.<\/p>\n

3 A Special Break in a Converted Windmill<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Self-Catering<\/p>\n

Imagine being able to spend a holiday break in a unique building which was once a working windmill. The character of one such self-catering windmill<\/a> in Warwickshire has to be seen to be believed. Built in the 18th<\/sup> century, this three-bedroomed property has lost none of its charm despite being equipped with 21st<\/sup> century luxury facilities. It has multiple levels with a lovely round bath fitted with a whirlpool jet on the third floor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4 A Luxury Boutique Cottage Holiday
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Boutique<\/p>\n

Another option is to go for luxury boutique holiday accommodation<\/a> which is fitted with top quality facilities and amenities while being located in an idyllic setting. Some of the features you can enjoy in these properties could be chandeliers, indoor hot tubs or roll-top baths.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 A 5-Star Country House Holiday
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Large<\/p>\n

When you are planning a summer holiday for extended family or a group of friends then you have the opportunity to house everyone together. If you\u2019re heading for Scotland then Logie Country House in Aberdeenshire<\/a> is well worth considering. This is five-star accommodation which sleeps up to 10 people in five bedrooms and its location is on a 140-acre private estate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6 A Truly Unique Property
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Unique<\/p>\n

For those who love history, a stay at The Gaolhouse in Norfolk<\/a> would be particularly memorable. It\u2019s a converted former gaol with a spiral staircase leading down to what was the original dungeon. Cell doors and glass viewing slabs have been retained to add real character to the property but there are also plenty of mod-cons and luxury furnishings to enjoy during your stay.<\/p>\n
