`In contrast to some of the larger, faceless, holiday rental websites, One Off Places has a soul and authenticity behind it, thanks to the boundless energy and enthusiasm of its dynamic founders. It has been a complete pleasure doing business with Tabitha and Olly who work very hard at both promoting the site in the press, and making sure it performs well in the listings, as well as giving fantastic customer service. Many thanks to you both and all the team.`
Claire Bernard, owner of Ty Bois in Brittany.
One Off Places has over 4000 holiday properties worldwide – to suit a variety of group sizes, budgets and locations; the common thread is that they are all individual, distinctive and ‘one-off’ style properties. Yurts & tipis, treehouses & roundhouses, windmills & watermills, houseboats and huts, manor houses and chateaux, luxury villas and stylish country houses – you name it! Many of our properties have been featured in the press – please see below for further details.
