Log cabin and lodge holidays in the Lake District

The natural wood of a log cabin or lodge blends seamlessly with the brown and green tones of the Lakeland countryside. A stay in a wooden building is somehow that little bit more homely and satisfying than in traditional country cottages. Today's log cabins are purpose built for comfort and convenience. Furniture is built in to maximise on space and some can indeed be quite luxurious and spacious. There may be a slight hint of pine in a new log cabin, somewhat reminiscent of Christmas and that can only be good.

Speaking of Christmas, self-catering log cabins are usually decorated with a Christmas tree to bring a touch of festivity into your holiday home. A cosy woodburner would be extra nice and a proportion of log cabins have them. It is a case of reading through the details to ensure that the log cabin that you book in the Lake District has all the features that you would ideally like and that it is in a part of the Lake District that offers the activities that you are interested in.
