The cozy construction has a tin roof and sandbags and can accommodate up to four people in bunks with mattresses.

Guests are asked to bring sleeping bags.

Your accommodation has a toilet and shower, wood stove, table and chairs and copper kettle.

Known as Sgt Taylor’s Bunker, it is located in a wooded area in Norfolk and is advertised on the Host Unusual website.

One listing describes it as the perfect place to rewind time and imagine life in the trenches – like in the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front.

Nearby are beaches, seal watching, archery, cycling and the Norfolk Coast Path.

Sgt. Taylor was a member of the Lovat Scouts, a British Army unit formed during the Second Boer War of 1899-1902 and digging the training trench in 1915.

In 1916 they became the Army’s first sniper unit, known as the Sharpshooters.

The moat also has a toilet and shower
