As a follow on from my previous post here are five more reasons why taking log cabin breaks in the UK is a top idea.
- Reason 1
You can get that 5 star hotel feeling in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by beautiful countryside – there are a number of super luxurious log cabins dotted throughout the UK that come with log burners, flat screen TVs, hot tubs, saunas and en-suite bathrooms. You really could be in a 5 star hotel, combine this with magnificent scenery and you’ve got a holiday destination from heaven. Many sites have varying levels of cabin that you can choose from at the time of booking.
- Reason 2
Most log cabin sites in the UK fit in to their surroundings, you can forget about your old Butlins or Pontins sites that stamp their authority on the ground, A lot of the log cabin holiday sites are very sensitively designed allowing the cabins to melt in to the scenery, this gives beautiful sites that are blended in to the natural environment and create a very relaxing environment.
- Reason 3
The log cabins are built from natural materials that should come from sustainable sources; if you’ve got an eco conscience you could check the source of your cabins timber before booking your holiday. The Forestry Commission log cabin sites have excellent environmental credentials and I‘m sure that they aren’t the only ones. A site that has cabins built to the BREEAM standard are the ones that are likely to take environmental issues seriously. The BREEAM certification is a UK building standard which determines the insulations and water recycling features of new building.
- Reason 4
You are more likely to find a log cabin that will accept pets than a holiday cottages. Not only that but you are also likely to find that the cabin is furnished to a much higher standard than your regular holiday cottage or static van. Most cabin sites will only ask that you don’t leave your pets in the log cabins unattended.
- Reason 5
There are now plenty of sites offering log cabin holidays across the UK, so you will be able to find a log cabin available in an area of the UK that you want to visit that will suit your budget and requirements. Log cabin holiday sites are now scattered across the country, from the Scottish Highlands to the South of Cornwall.

The UK is a wonderful place in world and it seems that it is has taken a rather nasty economic crisis to wake its residents and make them realise that it really is worth taking a holiday in the UK. If you’re reading this from somewhere else in the world (other than the UK) then you will most probably agree with most of what I am commenting on in this post. If you’re in the UK hopefully you have already experienced some of its beauty.
In terms of scenery, the UK really must boast some of the best in the world, from the rugged mountains of Northern England and Scotland through to the secluded little beaches in parts of the South West of England and Wales. I really do doubt that there is a smaller country on the face of the planet with a wider range of scenery and places to experience on offer. Throughout this site I have attempted to group areas of Britain where you may like to visit.
There is more to taking a holiday in your own country though than the scenery, I find it genuinely more relaxing to go away in the UK than to go abroad. Many people are scared of flying and there are many people don’t mind flying, though I’m fairly sure that you will find that the vast majority of travellers find the whole airport ‘thing’ a little stressful, particularly if they are taking away a younger family. Log cabin breaks in the UK remove all of these stresses and you don’t need to worry about security checks, lost luggage, foreign currency, what’s in your luggage and whether you can drink the water when you get there.
The only problem as I see with the UK is its unpredictable climate but if you choose the right accommodation it really doesn’t matter what the weather is doing. If you go away for a break and are prepared for it to rain then it will be a bonus when it’s a lovely sunny summer’s week. There’s more to taking holiday than just soaking up some sun – it’s about unwinding and getting away from the stresses of every day life. Just think, regardless of where you live in the UK you can jump in your car on a Friday evening, leave the stress of your job behind you, and within an hour from wherever you live you can be in the middle of the relaxing beautiful countryside. Log cabin holidays are the perfect choice of holiday for those that love to be amongst nature.
