Coastal cabins
Our coastal cabins in the UK cover a lot of ground, with stays dotted along the fringes of the South West Coast Path in Cornwall, around Britain's only coastal national park in Pembrokeshire, all the way up to the Isle of Skye in Scotland, where you can spot seals, otters and seabirds down from the shore.
Instantly, you're away from the hustle and bustle of city living, watching surf crash, sparks flicker skyward from a firepit, and taking in the sort of views that keeps those cortisol levels in check and prove a trip to the coast is always a good idea.

Why choose a coastal cabin holiday with Canopy & Stars?
Make the outdoors your ownForget getting up at dawn to claim a sun lounger. Our coastal cabins give you your own space to settle into the outdoors, with private porches, firepits, BBQs and hot tubs made for long, lazy days outside.
Let the coast set the paceFrom cabins a short walk from sandy beaches to stays backing straight onto the shore, the coast is never far away. Follow a coastal path down to the sea, wake to the sound of waves or watch the sun sink into the horizon from bed.
No two coastal cabins tell the same storySome began life as old agricultural buildings, others as much-loved family homes in need of a new chapter. They've been restored and reimagined by people with a deep connection to the coast by artists, families, farmers and sailors. The result is a collection of cabins where their stories are part of the stay.
We inspect every place in our collection
Since 2010, we've been getting out into the wild to personally inspect every place in our collection. We check the beds, try the hot tubs, walk the paths, inspect the views and generally find out what it's actually like to stay there. We also have a habit of digging out the stories behind each cabin, which is how we discovered that one Devon retreat was once a convalescence spot run by a forward-thinking Dartmouth doctor who believed its pristine natural setting could help his patients recover.
Later, the site became a commune in the 1960s and rumour has it that a certain member of the Rolling Stones stayed there. So yes, we take the practical side of our inspections seriously, but the best coastal cabins tend to have rather more to it than four walls and a nice view.

What our guests say
Coastal cabin holidays FAQs
Can I find a coastal cabin with a sea view?
Yes, we have cabins where the sea is part of the view from the window, porch or bed, as well as stays where you're a short walk from the coast. If waking up to the sea is non-negotiable, check the individual property description and our detailed photo galleries for details of exactly what you can see from your cabin.
Are coastal cabins private?
Yes, most of them are. Unlike a traditional hotel or resort, a cabin can give you your own private space outdoors, with your own porch, garden or terrace. Some also have secluded settings, private hot tubs and firepits, so you can enjoy the coast without having to share your patch of it with a crowd.
Can I find coastal cabins with hot tubs?
Yes, we have coastal cabins with private hot tubs where you can soak after a day by the sea. Some are surrounded by countryside, while others have views towards the coast, making them particularly good for sunset dips.
What can I do on a coastal cabin holiday?
Swim, walk, surf, explore beaches and coves, go rock pooling or simply find somewhere to sit and watch the sea. Then there's the equally important business of coming back to your cabin, lighting the fire, firing up the BBQ or pizza oven and settling in for the evening. Coastal holidays don't have to be go-go-go.
Can I bring my dog?
Many of our coastal cabins welcome dogs, and the combination of beach, countryside and coastal paths is hard to beat for a proper dog walk. Use our Dogs welcome filter to narrow down your search and check the individual cabin listing for its rules, including any restrictions around local beaches.
Are coastal cabins good for a short weekend break?
Yes, the coast is the perfect environment for a relaxing short break and a cabin provides the perfect accommodation, putting you close to nature and comfort at the same time. Just a couple of days listening to waves crashing and taking in sea views helps to lower those stress hormones we all seem to be riddled with these days.
