These are difficult times for everybody.  

Not least if you've put your heart, soul, and savings into creating the perfect retreat... only for a near-global lockdown to come along and spoil everything.

But instead of rushing about here, there, and everywhere, staying at home can spark gentle moments of pause and reflection, helping many of us to better appreciate all that we have.  Family, friends, a fulfilling job or hobby... or even, perhaps, an unusual retreat that you've never been able to experience properly for yourself.

So, since they (sadly) can't welcome any guests, these fabulous five Host Unusual hosts decided to take advantage of the situation, and play host to themselves instead!

Curious about how they got on? We were, too... so we asked each of them to share something they'd learned about the experience of being their own guest.
