Have you ever wanted to spend the night in a fairytale castle or a troll’s lair? How about in the hold of an ancient boat, or in a giant wodden horse? If you have, the quirky little La Balade Des Gnomes Hotel, outside of historic Durbuy, Belgium is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.

With uniquely designed rooms ranging from faux-medieval to nautical, the hotel is anything but ordinary. The rooms in the former farm complex have been constructed from cob, an oldfashioned natural building material composed of straw, mud and lime. Room rates start at €115 per night.
