The UK's most beautiful log cabins offer all the rustic charm and rural scenes we like from our staycations.
Nestled in woodlands, fields and by lakes, log cabin breaks are just the answer to getting away from it all for a few days with your nearest and dearest.
You'll find that isolated escapes don't get much better than retreating to a secluded log cabin in the UK and some of the best ones around come with private hot tubs, outstanding views and luxury comforts.
Wonderful any time of year, holidays at log cabins are ideal in the warmer months when you can make the most of the lush surroundings and scents, while the colder seasons mean inviting wood burners for a cosy atmosphere.
When it's safe for us to travel again (self-catering breaks in England are expected to be allowed from April 12th), we'll love nothing more than escaping to a peaceful log cabin to get back to nature and celebrate life getting back to normal.
That's why we've selected some of our favourite log cabins around the UK for you to check into when we're allowed to travel in 2021. All of these gorgeous log cabins are available from holidaycottages.co.uk and whether you're looking for a romantic log cabin to rent for two in the Brecon Beacons or a dog-friendly log cabin in North Yorkshire, we've got you covered.
