See in the New Year together

There’s something magical about New Year breaks in your very own forest cabin… Unforgettable family feasts, group celebrations under the stars and bracing walks in the fresh air. Choose a log cabin with space for 10 guests for a reunion like no other, and opt for a log burner for an extra dose of cosy. Whichever cabin you choose for your short break, relax knowing there’s a private outdoor hot tub waiting for your arrival. From pine-covered Scottish mountains to hidden Norfolk meadows — start the year right in one of our 13 breath-taking locations. Say hello to a real fresh start on New Year’s Eve breaks in the UK’s most beautiful forests.
