UNIQUE BARN HOTEL

THERE’S plenty of room at the INN in this unique barn campsite. This weird and wonderful accommodation allows you to spend the night inside a barn, where guests can enjoy a cosy bed and fully-working bathroom. The campsite, named Hayema Heerd, can be found in Zuidhorn, Netherlands. Director and owner Wil Hoogeboom says: ‘About four years ago we started the concept of ‘sleeping in straw’ with one huge family-bed made of straw under a mosquito net.
