My Unique B&B: Welsh campsite owners turn warship into quirky getaway

The BBC's My Unique B&B sees master craftsman Simon Parfett and his dedicated teams of professionals, help people with small spaces or gorgeous gardens generate extra income by creating extraordinary bed and breakfast getaways. Tuesday's episode was no different, seeing Simon head to Pembrokeshire to embark on one of his most ambitious projects yet.

In south west Wales, Toby and his daughter Islay had the dream to create a land-locked submarine B&B from a warship sonar hull. Single dad Toby had already created some weird and wonderful spaces on his campsite, but only with Simon's expert help could he turn his biggest idea yet into reality.

As ever, Simon's top team of tradespeople were integral to making the scrap hull into a dream Welsh getaway destination. Battling the hull's lack of straight lines or corners, carpenter Ian was vital in making custom made furniture which could fit into the unique space. Meanwhile, interior supremo Zoe had the unenviable task of making what was essentially waste material, a warm and inviting B&B - even transforming oxygen canisters decorative torpedoes.
