Log cabins in the UK
While it’s often thought cottages with warm hearth fires offer unrivalled levels of comfort and cosiness, the humble log cabin has emerged in recent years as a contender for this mantle. There’s nothing quite like firing up an old wood-burning stove in your well-insulated rental cabin, the perfect base for exploring your surroundings whether you’re in the Lake District or the Highlands.
Typically situated in woodland environments, log cabins in the UK offer you the chance to explore landscapes often overlooked: fells and braes, forests replete with busy woodpeckers and croaking frogs, streams and waterfalls. How can you not unwind amid such pastoral environs?
There’s no shortage of log cabins, chalets and lodges in the UK. Occupying the shores of Loch Linnhe, buried in the heart of Cornwall – and popping up in many a locale in between – these private cabins give you the opportunity to discover just why Britain is prefixed with the word ‘Great’. Take advantage of a huge range of leisure pursuits, from cycling around Derwentwater to climbing Ben Nevis in Fort William. Your warm log cabin will be waiting to welcome you at the end of the day.

Log cabin holidays in the Lake District and Cumbria
England’s largest lake, Windermere, is the location for several first-class log cabins in the Lake District. While you’ll want to take advantage of the lake views offered by several of them, there’s plenty to get up to that’ll set the heart racing. Try a spot of abseiling, rock climbing or archery, or take in the view from a hot-air balloon floating over the waters. For some, the Lake District is all about exercise, so if you want to work up a sweat by hiking the hills or canoeing, you’ll find ample opportunity.

Holiday cabin in Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire
From your log cabin in Wales, you’re sure to be comfortable; but with so much to see and do beyond your homely abode, you may only retire when the sun dwindles in the sky. Many cabins can be found in Snowdonia, Wales’s premier activity capital, so be sure to pack some heavy-duty hiking boots and, should you be inclined, your fishing rod or golf clubs!
