7 cabins to reconnect with nature
Quality time outdoors is easy when you book a cabin getaway with Canopy & Stars, but how do you take that relationship further and truly reconnect with nature? While it’s great to gaze at the greenery from your cabin window, it’s even better to step outside, breathe fresh air and boost your mood.
Whether it’s al fresco cooking, yoga down by the lake, coastal walks, paddleboarding or stargazing, our UK cabins offer unique ways to get back in tune with the rhythms of nature.

Exercise and explore in nature
Tucked among the trees, Birch Igluhut makes a cosy woodland base for days filled with fresh air and movement. From dawn walks through the surrounding woods to outdoor yoga classes on sunny mornings, it’s the perfect place to stretch out stress and breathe deeply.
Beyond the cabin, hike the circular route between Dunwich and Walberswick, or or paddleboard or canoe along the River Alde, where curious seals often pop up to say hello.
McLaughlin’s Cabin, Shropshire
Protect nature
Set on a regenerative farm, McLaughlin’s Cabin combines ancient woodland with a cosy, colourful space and a wood-fired Hikki hot tub.
