The search for unique places to stay begins with a curated collection of extraordinary accommodation. CoolStays brings together more than 3,000 hand-picked properties across the UK, Europe, and selected worldwide destinations. Every stay is chosen for its character, setting, or distinctive quirk. This is not a list of generic hotel rooms. It is a celebration of the unusual.
Founded in 2012, CoolStays set out to make it easy to discover the extraordinary. Rather than browsing endless bland listings, travellers find something memorable. Each property tells its own story.
A Curated Collection of Unique Places to Stay
The portfolio is wonderfully broad. Romantic shepherd’s huts and glamping pods dot the British countryside. Treehouse villas perch in the forests of Thailand. Lighthouse hotels cling to rugged coastlines. Clifftop villas overlook the Greek seas.
Cool conversions feature prominently too. Think repurposed churches, working windmills, vintage buses, and beachside huts. The UK selection is especially strong. England, Scotland, and Wales all offer plenty of choice. A growing European collection spans France, Spain, Italy, and the Alps.
Stays for Couples, Families and Groups
There really is something for everyone. Couples can escape to a romantic bolthole in the Cotswolds. Families enjoy a genuinely different holiday in the countryside. Groups gather for a memorable shared retreat in the Scottish Highlands.
The styles range widely. Glamping yurts and tipis suit the adventurous. Boutique hotels and design-led guesthouses appeal to lovers of style. Spa and wellness retreats await in Lanzarote and Tuscany. Off-grid hideaways tempt those seeking peace and quiet.
