As lockdown measures ease across the UK, many of you will be considering a staycation this year and looking for that idyllic place to stay. We can’t think of anything more appealing in the UK than a lovely trip away with a stove to warm up in front of on those chilly evenings.

We have put together a top 5 quirky places to stay in the UK with a wood burning stove.

Before we get to the staycations, we have some top tips to remember when staying somewhere with a wood burning stove:

• Ask when the appliance was last swept and serviced, this should be done at least annually, even if the appliance has been left unused.
• Make sure you have the correct equipment to safely light and refuel the fire, gloves and poker.
• Are you being provided with Ready to Burn firewood? If not, you can find local suppliers here.
• Does the property have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms?
• Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for appliance specific guidance but we have some top tips on our website to help you.

Here’s our top five, we hope they inspire you with your staycation choices, let us know your dream staycation in the comments below or join the discussion on our social media channels.
