Luxury Log Cabins in the Cotswolds
Log House Holidays was founded in 1980 by Anthony Edmondson, who envisioned a private nature reserve where conservation and luxury log cabin holidays coexist harmoniously. After working in a Yukon silver mine to fund his dream, he transformed an ex-gravel pit into the idyllic 130-acre site now renowned for its serene Cotswold setting. As a family-run business, we maintain a personal commitment to preserving the natural beauty of our Site of Special Scientific Interest, having planted over 50,000 trees and created habitats for diverse wildlife. Our eco-friendly log cabins, handcrafted from Baltic pine, blend rustic charm with modern comforts, offering guests a unique retreat surrounded by unspoilt landscapes.We prioritise sustainability through renewable energy sources, including solar power and lake-sourced heating, while ensuring tranquillity with no motorboats or crowds. Each cabin features a hot tub, rowing boat, and fire pit, complemented by thoughtful amenities like binoculars for wildlife spotting. With 10 consecutive years of full bookings and countless five-star reviews, we remain dedicated to providing unforgettable experiences rooted in our founding values of conservation and hospitality.
