Vetted by our experts
Where do we even start with Wildlife? It’s unique, stuffed with vintage furniture and little statues of animals. Character or personality don’t even begin to do it justice. Of course, the idiosyncrasies won’t do it for everyone – you have to be ready for the feeling of staying in someone else’s home, with all that entails – but it is an incredible place – the sort that, for the right people can elevate a holiday beyond everything you might reasonably expect.
