5 More Reasons Why Log Cabins Are Becoming A Popular Holiday Destination

By admin, on September 30th, 2009

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.

5 Reasons Why Log Cabins Are A Popular Choice of Holiday Accommodation

Log cabin holidays are becoming a very popular choice for people wanting to take a break in the UK and here are five reasons why they are becoming so popular:

  • Reason 1
    Many log cabins are in fantastic locations that have scenery that you wouldn’t normally get to see unless you stayed in another form of accommodation such as a tent or touring caravan. UK planning laws seem to be a little bit more relaxed when it comes to holiday accommodation and particularly log cabin developments and there seems to be a great number of sites in fantastic locations.
  • Reason 2
    Log cabin developments tend to be will thought out and each cabin allows some privacy even though you may be sharing the site with many other log cabins. Log cabin holiday parks have learnt from the mistakes of the old 1980’s static van parks where all of the vans were uniformly aligned and facing the same way and as such the developments are much improved.
  • Reason 3
    There is a certain feel to log cabins that can’t really be described, if you’ve stayed in one then you will no that feeling, if you haven’t then perhaps you should book one up. It’s like camping but you can get a good nights sleep whether there’s a howling gale outside or it’s lashing it down with rain.
  • Reason 4
    Log cabin holidays have really only become popular recently and a lot of log cabins were built in the past ten years, but a large majority of those were built in the past five years. The fact that a lot of these log cabins are ‘new builds’ means that the quality of the accommodation and design is much better than that the static vans of yesteryear and majority of the holiday cottages on the self catering market.
  • Reason 5
    Log cabin breaks are great for the security conscious – staying in a log cabin is much more secure than camping or caravanning; it’s also safer getting to your holiday destination by not having overloaded car carrying camping equipment or towing a caravan. With proper locking doors and windows you can be safe in the knowledge that you, your family and your belongings will be safe.
