In the Dog House


As someone who is almost perpetually in the dog house I was pleased to spot an appropriate place to stay if I ever visit Cottonwood, Idaho. The Dog Bark Park Inn is listed at Number 10 in TripAdvisor's list of 'The World's Weirdest Hotels'. At this Bed and Breakfast establishment you actually get to sleep inside a 45 foot, air-conditioned beagle created by husband and wife hoteliers and chainsaw artists Derrick and Frances.

Included in the dog are a sleeping loft, microwave oven, fridge, books and games. Breakfast includes Derrick and Frances's celebrated fruited granola, and there is a gift shop.

Just in case you are interested, the list of the weird hotels includes a converted tea factory in Sri Lanka, a converted prison in Oxfordshire, a 'cave' hotel in Turkey, an ice hotel in Canada, and the fabulously expensive Al Maha Desert Resort in Dubai.

Maybe our son and heir will treat Mrs Rumbling Nappa and I to a week-long stay in a Bedouin Suite at Al Maha with private infinity pool and dinner served exclusively for you 'under the stars' out in the desert. It's a favourite with Mrs Beckham apparently.
