How to plan the perfect staycation

Don’t limit your luggage

A staycation is just as much a holiday as any other – but with one fantastic advantage. There’s no limit on your luggage, so you can bring along all the essentials you need to relax. Each of our hot tub cabins are fully equipped, but you’re free to bring along whatever creates a home from home for your family. 

Treat yourself to some peace and quiet

Whether you want to finish that novel that’s been on your bedside table for months or stargaze from the comfort of your hot tub, there’s no better place to do it than a cosy family log cabin. 

From mindful morning meditation and movie nights to getting everyone involved with a family baking session, you’re free to hunker down and create a schedule that works for you. And if you need a little inspiration on in-cabin activities for the whole family, we’ve got lots of cabin extras designed to keep things fun. 

Get back to nature

Staycations offer some amazing landscapes to discover if you’re looking for tranquility. Consider the sweeping highlands of Scotland, with majestic mountain peaks overlooking ancient forests and calm, placid lochs. Or discover the beautiful Norfolk Broads, close to our Thorpe Forest cabins - with no bustling crowds in sight. 

Splash and play 

Of course, while it’s good to be a tourist on holiday, you can also take a break from dashing about and trying to fit as much in as possible. There is far less pressure on a staycation – so you’ve got time to show the kids how to play in the woods just like you did as a child. Splash in puddles, build dens, climb trees, go fishing – and remember to take a picnic.

Go cycling through the UK countryside 

Cycling through the forest is a wonderful way to explore the woodland trails and venture further afield. We offer cycle hire at or near to each of our locations, and know all the best routes, whether it’s gentle exercise or thrill-seeking you’re after. 

Mountain biking down steep hills, splashing over river crossings, or following a remote trail - you’ll find the fresh air stimulating and end the day with a healthy glow. Enjoy an evening relaxing in your peaceful, luxurious cabin, bright eyed and refreshed with a sense of well-being. 

Escape to the forest this year

Each of our locations offers a sense of retreat and a chance to take a break from the routine of daily life. No matter what kind of holiday you are looking for – a family adventure, a cosy break for two, or a weekend of exploration – you’ll find everything you need in Britain’s forests.

Your family deserves something lovely to look forward to. Browse our special offers and book your staycation with our hassle-free online booking. Easy.
