Hotel in a field of dreams

Five star? Six star? What about a million-star hotel... but don't expect the standards to rise on quite the same scale.

In fact, you should probably avoid it if you're averse to the odd field mouse and suffer from hay fever but if it's views you're after, it can't be beat.

Carved into a wheat field in the shape of a hotel, guests can enjoy spectacular views of the starry night sky from their beds in 'rooms' costing between £2 and £6 a night.

 Monika Fritz, who created the hotel in Germany, told the Metro: "Although some people are rather sceptical, the breathtaking view at night makes it worthwhile to visit.

"The air is always fresh and there is no street lights around here so nothing to disturb the view of the heavens," she added.

"We have a very short summer season - it only lasts about two weeks before the corn is harvested.

"But there are already around 400 reservations and we are fully booked up for the weekends months in advance."
