Holiday accommodation with a twist

The gypsy caravan, Abergavenny

This genuine Romany gypsy caravan is found at the end of a half-mile farm track near Abergavenny in Wales. It sleeps two under a cosy goose eiderdown, with hot water bottles and heater, and - here's the really soft part - comes with an adjacent shack with power shower, mini kitchen and living room with coal stove.
Price: from £270, Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages (01874 676446; www.breconcottages.com).
