Pirates, we've seen some crazy hotels in our time, but this one really spun our heads!

This ex-army and former Hollywood movie helicopter in Suffolk is one of the most unique places to stay we've ever seen, and it's actually really good value at £88* per night so that's just £44 per person for a couple!

There are plenty of dates available in March, April and May, and then again from October onwards.

And don't worry, a pilot's license isn't necessary - read on to learn more.

Details

Whether you're an aviation fan or just an action movie buff, a night sleeping in an ex Army Air Corps Lynx AH9A Helicopter will surely be a unique experience.

This particular helicopter has Hollywood credentials, having starred in the 2019 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' movie - certainly not everyone can say they've slept in a helicopter that Idris Elba once flew in.

If you fancy a stay, pilot and co-pilot can bed down on a double bed inside the chopper (or pretend to fly it while sitting in the pilot and co-pilot seats).

Inclement weather isn't an issue for this flying machine, as it has full climate control for hot and cold weather. There is also a toilet and shower facilities on-site.

The helicopter is located in Kessingland, Suffolk, right opposite a charming local pub, a moment from the beach and across the road from the award-winning Africa Alive wildlife park.

Below you can see the chopper in its glory days.

Kids love it adults secretly love it - so why not book a high altitude stay?

Example date: 30-31 May 2022
