Shank Wood eco-friendly log cabin is a rare treasure in the self-catering world. Situated in the middle of a 2 mile beat on the banks of River Lyne, it provides total privacy in a stunning setting. Naturally, it will appeal to fishermen who enjoy the sports for the total relaxation it provides but also walkers and adventurers who would like to experience that something different in self-catering holidays.

The emphasis in the log cabin is on eco-friendly; the lighting is provided by solar power, there is a peat toilet. The cabin is heated by a clean wood burning stove and all cooking is on the large BBQ. Your fridge for cooling those bottles of beer is the river. This could also appeal to people with children seeking an adventure holiday in the woods and going back to nature.

Fishing rods are available to rent from £20 for the duration of your stay, and 4 rods can be in the river at any one time. There are 11 pools on the 2 mile beat, each having its own place where fish love to lie. Please visit the log cabin web site using the link at the bottom of the page to peruse the details of this idyllic spot 15 miles away from Carlisle and just north of the Lake District.
