The best thing about visiting Myanmar was the feeling of being off the beaten track. Having only opened up to international tourism in 2012, unlike other parts of South East Asia, it hasn’t yet been quite so trampled by tourists. This gives everything you see a sense of credibility, as if this is what life is really like. Essentially, everything still feels very real. And that makes Myanmar a magical place.

I arrived in Yangon, a bustling city that still holds memories of its colonial past. There’s one main attraction of this city and that’s Shwedagon Pagoda, a shimmering gold stupa that dominates the skyline. Surrounded by beautifully kept parks and busy street vendors, there’s enough to keep you entertained for a day or two, but there’s plenty more of Myanmar to see and so, I flew on to Heho, a short drive from Inle Lake.

Hi all! We hope you've had a great couple of weeks wherever in the world you are! Here in the UK, it feels like Spring is just around the corner, and with Spring and nice weather comes Camping and Glamping! Two of our favourite types of trips. You can find all our glamping spots here, but with picked a varied mix for this weeks top 10.

 1. Middle Stone Farm, Somerset

What says glamourous camping more than private hot tubs? Plus, couples who book a mid week stay outside of the school holidays in a safari tent get £100 off the price (a baby or toddler under two can also stay for free).

Hi there,

We hope you had a great week! Did you catch the Beast from the East where you were? Here at QuirkyAccom.com HQ we are spread across the world so whilst some of us were snowed in in Nottingham, some of us were sunning it up in Myanmar and the others were waiting for the rain to clear in Spain!

This weeks blog post is going to focus on one of our favourite types of quirky properties; former transport! From buses to trains and everything in between; check them all out here. Below are some varied ones we've decided to highlight - we hope you love them as much as we do!

1. Windmill Campersite

The photos speak for themselves, don't you think? Located in the Isle of Wight, this family ran campsite has everything from a helicopter to a vintage campervan; and everything in between! 

Hi guys - Charlotte again! When making a list of things to do in Australia it would be mad to leave off the Great Barrier Reef. Housing some of the most stunning wildlife in the world, it’s not hard to see why it’s one of Queensland’s and indeed Australia’s biggest attractions. It’s common to visit the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns, however, Airlie Beach provides a fabulous 2-in-1 option, acting as a gateway to both the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays and for that reason, it was our port of choice.
