A homeowner who erected a 25ft replica of the Blackpool Tower replica in his back garden has opened his property up as airbnb with views of stunning structure. Holidaymakers can now stay in the three-bedroom annex of Doug Smith's house near the seaside resort, which he has dubbed Tower Annex View, for just £120 a night.
It sleeps four people and even has a pool where guests can relax in the shadow of a scaled-down version of the landmark, which can be seen for miles around. Guests can also enjoy a pint in Doug's converted wooden shed which the tower sits on after he converted it into a Irish-themed pub, featuring a bar and a fruit machine.
Doug Smith, 63, spent four years perfecting his award-winning outhouse and boozer, dubbed ‘O'Smithers’, which measures 24 feet by 24 feet and fits in 35 seated revellers. He said: “The pub is still the pub and going strong. But we’ve decided to turn our three-room annex into an Airbnb.
