Cabins near Bristol

How far from Bristol are your cabins?

One of the nicest things about living in Bristol is that escaping doesn't require military-level planning. Most of our cabins sit within one to two hours of the city, across regions such as Somerset, the Wye Valley, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Monmouthshire. Leave after work Friday and be sat around the firepit with a view of the countryside in time for sunset. 

Why choose a cabin instead of a hotel?

Hotels are brilliant if you want someone else to make your bed every morning. Cabins are for people who'd rather wake to a dawn chorus than the sound of “housekeeping?!” in the corridor, drink their first coffee on a deck instead of in a breakfast queue, and spend the evening barefoot on the grass rather than navigating another hotel lobby. They still offer proper comfort, plenty of privacy and enough fresh air to remind you why weekends were never meant to be spent indoors. 

What can I actually do during a cabin stay?

As much or as little as you like. Some cabins sit beside walking routes like the Cotswold Way, others have canoes almost on the doorstep, brewery tours next door, woodland saunas, yoga sessions, swimming ponds or miles of cycling straight from the gate. Or you can ignore every single one of those opportunities and spend three days moving only between the hammock, the hot tub and the kettle. No judgement here. 

What should I pack for a cabin getaway?

Less than you'd think. Most cabins come with kitchens, comfy beds and everything you need for cooking. Always check the information provided on our website for your particular stay before setting off, but usually we would bring walking boots, clothes you won't mind smelling faintly of woodsmoke, swimwear if there's an outdoor bath, sauna or wild swimming lake, and one jumper that's warmer than you think you'll need.  

Are cabins good all year round?

Very much so, they just change character. Spring arrives with blossom, birdsong and new green that brings with it a lovely sense of renewal. Summer is for doors thrown open, lazy breakfasts outside and evenings around the firepit. Autumn brings misty mornings and crunchy woodland walks. Winter is when cabins really come into their own, with log burners, huge picture windows and hot tubs that somehow feel more satisfying when the air is cold enough to make your nose tingle.  

Are there off-grid cabins near Bristol?

Yes, several of our cabins invite you to stop a constant stream of notifications flooding through your little rectangle of doom for a couple of days, with compost loos, outdoor cooking, wood-fired baths and just enough electricity for the essentials. They're thoughtfully designed rather than deliberately difficult, proving that living simply doesn't have to mean sacrificing comfort.
