One Off Places, the holiday rentals website launched 18 months ago by husband and wife team Olly and Tabitha Symonds, has just listed its 500th property. The property is a restored Cumbrian chapel where, for less than £200 per person per week, you can enjoy an indoor hot tub, an infra-red sauna and a Scandinavian bbq with reindeer skin seating!
Built in 1892 this former Methodist Chapel has been converted into a luxurious self-catering 'spa' retreat. Every luxury and modern convenience has been considered whilst still retaining many features of the chapel including the antique organ. Luxuriously furnished, it is equipped with 5 bedrooms (3 kings and 2 twins) all with 19' flat screen TVs; 5 wet room shower rooms (3 en-suites); spa bath; wooden barrel indoor hot tub; infra-red sauna; and Scandinavian indoor BBQ with seating for 12 covered with reindeer skins. The Great Room has a handmade table with pews to seat 14 and an informal sitting area with log burning stove. A further galleried sitting room upstairs seats 12 on comfortable leather sofas and has a 42' LCD TV with Sky HD, DVD and iPod docking station. It has underfloor heating throughout ran by an air source heat pump and a ventilation and heat recovery system.
Kaber Chapel costs from £1600 - £2200 per week (for the whole property); short breaks are available from £960 (for four nights midweek). You can see the property here:

If this isn’t your thing, then try one of the other 499 One Off Places. Not one of them is alike – each stands out from the crowd, whether by its interior, exterior or location. Spread across five continents and 37 countries, there’s something to suit every taste and budget. A merchants house in Morocco, a colonial villa in Sri Lanka, a glasshouse in New Zealand, a shepherds cottage in Spain, a windmill in the Azores, a castle in Austria. You name it - One Off Places can probably provide it!
As director, Olly Symonds, says: “Each property is assessed on its own merits and its individual qualities. We don’t insist on specific criteria as the nature of a One off Place is that it is non conformist – but we are clear that when we see one, we know it!”
Olly and Tabitha’s many years of commercial experience, allied to a real and genuine enthusiasm for distinctive holidays, brings notable impetus and drive to One Off Places. They have overseen impressive growth in the last 18 months – as travel horizons expand, so do holidaymaker’s expectations. One Off Places is ideally placed to meet the needs of the more discerning holidaymaker – those for whom the standard accommodation will never quite hit the spot. And as long as they maintain their impetus and sharp eye for unusual detail, One Off Places will continue to fulfil these needs for years to come!
