Humble Bee isn't just any old couples getaway. This place has been designed and created by an artist making for a unique stay. Yvette has a beautiful space full of tall trees, mossy greenery and the sounds of a running stream and birds to accompany it. And here is where she has built this unique beehive property for couples to get away from their regular lives and experience the warm glow of being together somewhere different.
Being a hive shape, a tall building with not a lot of windows, you really are hidden away together. Either you can cosy up in the suspended bed at the top, or sit by the fire in the middle or descend to the kitchen and bathroom space, fling open the doors and be out on the decking wrapped up in the great outdoors. Out of the back door you will find your very own thermal bath (for 2) seemingly formed as part of the rocks behind.
COPPER POT BARN (with hot tub!) is perfectly located for a get together as its central within England, in countryside near Leamington Spa. If your guests are coming from different directions, everyone should be able to reach it without much trouble. The top quality barn conversion sleeps 8+2 in total, but as Tiny Wood Homes is at the same address, a stroll away, extra cabins could be booked if your numbers roll over that. These also feature hot tubs, and clever use of space and views over the fields.
There are some very appealing features to Copper Pot Barn that should make this a great option for your next get together.
The outdoor space with large hot tub, seating and lawn is a big plus. The hot tub works efficiently - just press a button an hour before you want to take the plunge to give it a boost. As its under cover it isn't weather dependent either. The garden is great if you want to bring along your dog too.

Take a look at our Competition video which gives you a glimpse at all the possible prize locations you could end up visiting if you are selected to be one of our 4 lucky winners. All locations are in the South East this time - great for Londoners - but all the places are so unique and would make brilliant stays for anyone. Do add extra nights (at extra cost) if you are coming from further afield and if you wish to stay longer.
Glamping is an important part of our business so we were keen to show our faces at The Glamping Show in Birmingham this September to keep our finger on the pulse. What is trending, what will come next, what are people talking about?
I went with my niece Elena, who works with us at QuirkyAccom.com, and we wore our sweatshirts proudly announcing our directory of unusual places to stay and took our time meandering between stalls and installations and chatting to people.
What is Glamping?
Not just yurts and tipis and other innovative canvas creations. Glamping pods, cabins, shepherd huts and treehouses - in fact any innovative space that brings some home comforts to a stay close to nature. A sector of the glamping market has certainly moved towards the top end with many places undeniably luxurious, and aimed at those on a high budget, or with celebrations to be marked. But it is possible to Glamp on a lower budget too.
At QuirkyAccom we have several accommodation types which cover not just Glamping under canvas. I have added other links here that will help you select exactly what you are looking for under the same umbrella.
