We are now used to seeing unconventional accommodations on Airbnb. After the very original pink house supplied with neon lights, garlands and magenta leopard-patterned duvet covers, a much more minimalist style dwelling is offered for rent. Baptized the “bathotel” (“boatel” in French), the small house that looks like a fisherman's hut has indeed as a roof... an upturned boat hull! It is located in the heart of nature in the Dyfi Valley in Wales and offers breathtaking views of Snowdonia Park, which is home to the highest mountains in the country. Exotic and peaceful stay guaranteed! And to top it off, the playhouse is eco-friendly.
Nearby are dry toilets, i.e. toilets that do not use water, a solar-powered shower, and the "cabin" was built entirely with recycled materials in 2012. The "bathotel" won the House of the Year 2016 award at the end of a competition organized each year by the British television channel Channel 4. However, it is not made for lovers of luxury and comfort. , as the Airbnb listing description explains:"It's like camping with a wooden roof over your head […] The boat is old and dusty, and it's not uncommon to come across a small spider ". But the atmosphere that reigns there, with “an open kitchen and a small living room”, seems unique. "It's so pretty, even with the strongest of storms, because you can just close the door, light the candles, put some kindling on the fire and enjoy the cozy interior “, can we read.
For those interested, the night costs 45 pounds, or 55 €. We see it completely!
