Luxury 5 star log cabin holiday

There is something wonderful about the scent of pine. If you share that sentiment, staying in a log cabin for your holiday will be a real treat.  Make that a 5 star luxury log cabin and the holiday just got better! The kids will love being surrounded by woodland. They can build dens, play at Robin Hood and wear themselves out so they have a good night’s sleep.

Your own luxury romantic love nest?

These wooden cabins can also be very romantic for the grown-ups.  Many have open fires and an outdoor hot tub. You can sip your nightcap on your patio as the sun goes down, and settle snugly into a king-sized bed. Some decking areas even boast a hammock or two. With a luxury kitchen and a bathroom containing, perhaps, a sunken bath, luxurious living is great for couples, too.

Spoil the kids?

Some pine cabins come with barbecues and comfortable outdoor seating. With a chiminea, you can stay cosy and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle for longer. Self-catering is a convenient way of feeding the family whilst away, especially fussy eaters. Kids will love the option of eating outside, and barbecues will add to their pioneer spirit. But for something that will really make an impact on young, impressionable minds, why not try a treehouse? They come with luxury amenities too!

Log cabin activity breaks

Your family may be keen on water sports and favour a lakeside setting. Whether you want to fish, try a new sport or bring your own rowing boat, a lake is a bonus you won’t forget. Of course, you could simply gaze out on the water as moonlight bathes it, with a glass of wine in hand, and remember the magic.

Get close to nature

Many families like to get close to nature, and lots of luxury log cabins are sited in private nature reserves. Don’t forget your binoculars. You may prefer to get away from it all, but if you like to be more sociable and want more of a structured holiday, there are holiday parks that feature log cabins. These parks have facilities such as gyms, saunas, swimming pools and golf courses.

Of course, choosing where to go is a crucial decision.  The UK is, indeed, blessed with woodland and the flora and fauna it supports. Sherwood Forest offers walking trails and the chance to see large oak trees. The Forest of Dean is another ancient forest and is known for its bird watching opportunities. Heathland and forest in the New Forest also offers a wonderful backdrop to outdoor activities.

You may prefer to stay in a log cabin by a loch in one of Scotland’s scenic spots. Wales too has beautiful destinations, and both countries share an abundance of castles, local folklore and fascinating history. Those families seeking lakeside accommodation often visit the Lake District, an area of lakes, reservoirs and tarns, with the majestic fells reflected in the water.

Whatever your choice, staying in a luxury log cabin will make your holiday extra special. You’ve worked hard, so why not pamper yourself and your loved ones in great surroundings? You deserve it!
