Space-mad Brits can now stay in secluded 'UFO' with idyllic views for £400/night
Holidaymakers looking for somewhere out-of-the-world to escape to can now stay in a £400-a-night UFO.
With a bright teal exterior and clean white interior, this spaceship would catch your eye whatever the weather. The rare, bolthole is a fascinating piece of history, lovingly restored by its artist owner and secluded in a Somerset glade with idyllic lake views.
There’s nothing run-of-the-mill about Marston Park, described as a “playground for creativity” beautifully located between Frome and Bruton. Here, guests can create their own masterpieces in furnished canvas studio-suites set around a Victorian lake.

Meanwhile, you’ll enjoy full access to the amazing on-site facilities – which include a sumptuous bar and restaurant, and regular entertainment, for a truly unforgettable break in every sense.
So, it’s fitting that this flourishing site is the proud temporary home of an authentic Futuro House – an iconic spaceship-style retreat that’s one of very few available to stay in worldwide. The listing reads: “Created by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, the Futuro House design represents a piece of 1960s pop culture history.

"Now there are only 68 known still to exist in the world, many of which are exhibited in museums across the globe. Lovingly restored by artist Craig Barnes over the best part of a decade (and featured on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces), Futuro at Marston Park is a genuine one-of-a-kind stay, complete with private facilities and idyllic lake views.”
