Best Cabin & Cottage Holidays in the Woods in the UK

Where can I find the best cabins and lodges in the woods across the UK?

Unsurprisingly, many of the UK’s woodland stays are located in rural areas away from the main cities, such as Wales, the South West, and the Scottish Highlands. However, the home county of Hampshire offers the country estate of Cholderton, with its cabin, cottages, and barn.

Can you take dogs on forest holidays?

Many woodland retreats welcome canine companions and Forest Holidays are happy to have dogs at any of their locations, but it's always best to check with the owners before you book. Wild or farmed animals may also be forest dwellers and dogs can disturb the local environment, so remember to use leads if you are unsure and to be sensitive to these other residents!

Are cabins and lodges suitable for larger groups or families?

Many cabins and lodges in the UK are ideal for larger groups or families. As these forest dwellings are often clustered together in a wooded area, if you book in advance they are often perfect for families. For example, at the eco-friendly Middle Stone Farm in Somerset you can hire the whole site, and everyone can go off to do their own thing, such as go on a farm tour, hang out with the animals, or play badminton, before gathering round the fire pit for the evening.

What amenities can I expect in Woodland Lodges?

In addition to woodland walks and forest bathing, woodland lodges offer a range of amenities, from outdoor hot tubs to jungle showers to wood burning stoves. Many aim to be as sustainable as possible, using solar, biomass and wind energy. However, many cabins veer towards proper luxury, with good wifi, fully equipped kitchens and power showers within the tranquil seclusion of the woodland.
