Loch Ossian Hostel, Scottish Highlands
The most eco-friendly youth hostel I have stayed in. You can only reach it by train - it's a mile walk from Corrour station on the Glasgow-Fort William line

Can Marti, Ibiza
The alternative side to Ibiza. A quiet organic farm in the north of the island near San Juan

Lake District Yurts, England
Authentic Mongolian yurts in the heart of the Lake District


Higher Lank Farm, Cornwall
Here's one for young families - in fact you can only go there if you have at least one child under 5

Under the Thatch cottages, West Wales
Beautifully restored thatched cottages plus other quirky properties, such as a Romany Caravan and converted train carriage

Hoopoe Yurt Hotel, Andalucia
Stylish yurt camp overlooking the Grazalema mountain range to the south of Ronda


Orion B&B, France
Four beautiful tree-houses and a natural swimming pool near Nice in the South of France


Le Poujastou, Pyrenees
A classic chambres d’hôtes in the heart of the French Pyrenees


Canvas Chic, France
A large yurt camp overlooking the spectacular Ardeche gorge


Whitepod, Switzerland
This one's for winter: eco pods that offer an inspired alternative to ski resorts





Holidaying in Ireland

I finally decided to tour my own country for a change. I picked all my accomadation from www.irishselfcateringhomes.com. It was simple to book my accomodation on line there. I went to Mayo, sligo and donegal. I drove on the coast as much as possible. What an experience. We really have a place of beauty here. I wish more people could and would come and see our beautiful countryside and towns.
