You've got to love those Brits - always a little quirky & different! The Landmark Trust rescues historic and architecturally interesting buildings and their surroundings from neglect and when restored, gives them new life by letting them out as accommodation venues. The letting income generated from bookings then pays for the future maintenance of the buildings. Makes perfect sense!

While not exactly 6 star luxury, they offer a really interesting alternate in British accommodation at very affordable prices. I'd just love to be able to send the kids a postcard reading ' Well here we are enjoying our stay at The Pigsty!'. What about.....
