With sites like Airbnb making unique homes more accessible than ever before, the world’s most creative abodes have never been easier reach.

And since you can already stay in Dracula’s Castle, a Bubble Under the Stars and an actual aeroplane, why not spend a few nights in the dog house?

Bad jokes aside, there is actually a giant beagle-shaped home for rent in the American state of Idaho.

Created in 2003 by artist couple Dennis Sullivan and Frances Conklin, the Dog Bark Inn boasts expansive views of prairie grain fields and surrounding mountains, a library of books and a selection of dog-themed games and puzzles.

Inside “the world’s biggest beagle”, dog-shaped cookies are placed on guests’ pillows, home-baked pastries and freshly fruited granola are served for breakfast and, as you’d expect, visitors are allowed to bring their dogs.

Room rates at the Dog Bark Inn start at €120 per night.

Airbnb is well known for its quirky residential offerings, but this Halloween the famed homestay network is running one seriously scary competition.

The site has announced that a stay at Bran Castle in Romania – aka Dracula’s Castle – will be up for grabs for the night of October 31.

Two brave individuals will be able to call the misty mountain-top manor home thanks to host Dacre Stoker – that’s Bram Stoker’s great grandnephew – who will guide his guests through “lamp-lit corridors, creepy nooks, and squeaky staircases”.

The medieval fortress boasts 57 rooms, tower lookouts and “deep dark crypts” which can be explored before the sun sets.

Once darkness falls, Transylvanian castle-life hits peak creepiness with “unexpected guests” appearing, a “blood-enriching” Dracula inspired meal being served, and beds being offered in the form of velvet-trimmed coffins in the Count’s crypt.

To enter the competition, thrill-seekers are asked to show their “vampiric wit” in response to the following question: “What would you say to the Count if you were to come face-to-fang with him in his own castle?”

The winners will be flown to Transylvania courtesy of Airbnb and will stay at the castle free of charge.

Enter if you dare…

Undoubtedly Ryanair has revolutionised the way that we travel – and now the lowcost airline has its sights set on where we stay once we get to our destination.

Yes, Ryanair Rooms is set to launch on October 1, meaning that from the moment you leave home, your entire trip can be looked after by the Dublin-based company. 

It currently has a partnership deal with booking.com, but – in a distinct nod to the AirBnB influence – Ryanair Rooms will allow customers to directly books the likes of hotels, villas, and homestays as well as hotels and B&Bs.

And the emphasis of the new service will – naturally enough – be on low-costs.

“We’re going to transform booking accommodation,” Kenny Jacobs, Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer told The Telegraph.

“More and more customers are looking to Ryanair for products other than flights, and we see this as a natural progression towards Ryanair.com becoming the Amazon of air travel.”

It is furthermore rumoured that the company will gradually roll out holiday packages too (much as Virgin Atlantic does already) – offering the likes of all-inclusive breaks away to beach resorts.

Passengers can already book car hire, transfers and city excursions through the Ryanair website.

As we all know, Dublin is a very historic town and we don't even notice the beautiful buildings that surround us sometimes.

Well, Airbnb does and it has some of the most gorgeous buildings on offer in the city.

From family homes to chic city apartments, there's something for everyone. And with the 1916 celebrations in full swing, you won't believe the history that happened in some of these places you can stay in:

Pearse Street

Padraig Pearse was the author of the Proclamation of Independence, and was present in the GPO during the Easter Rising. He was also the Commander in Chief of the Irish forces. Anyone visiting Dublin can stay on this historic street named after Padraig in a penthouse apartment with views of the city.

 

Dún Laoghaire

More than 2000 British soldiers arrived in Ireland through Kingston, which is now called Dún Laoghaire. This charming home is just minutes from the marina and is a fab location for soaking up the history of Dublin.

 

Dublin Castle

Dublin Castle was one of the key locations the rebels failed to take during the Rising. You can stay in this amazing landmark which was Ireland’s armed police force headquarters until 1922 but now lies this chic city apartment.

 

Mount street

The area around Mount street and the canal is one of the most noteworthy 1916 locations and this Victorian house listed on Airbnb will allow visitors to Dublin to soak up the history of Dublin the minute they go out the front door.
