Berkshire
Submerged in nature, yet only an hour from London, this is perfect for burnt-out professionals needing to unplug. With luxury Piglet bedding, board games, books, a radio and an instant camera to capture memories, all whilst your phone is locked up in the cabin’s ‘lock box’ for self-imposed digital freedom.
Yorkshire
Fancy an outdoor bath overlooking the Yorkshire Dales? Us too. The picture windows in this cluster of 5 off-grid cabins make the most of the woodland setting, while the interiors are magazine worthy. Whether you’re forest bathing, or taking a dip in the tub, this place will cleanse your soul.
Argyll
Architect designed, on the shores of Loch Nell, this wilderness paradise is located in the famously spectacular rugged coastline and soaring mountains of Scotland’s West Coast. Set in private farmland, you can arrive by boat across the Loch and spend your days exploring on SUPs, by kayak or stay cosy in the loch-side sauna and watch the sea eagles soar.
Herefordshire
Envisioned by two London escapees, the Brook House Woods cabins have been designed for those looking for a chic sanctuary with R&R on tap. Book private massages and yoga classes, or perhaps a game of tennis? There is a woodland cinema and your own Ooni oven for al fresco pizza nights. The jewel in the crown is the treehouse, Venn - with antique touches and views over the Frome Valley below, there’s even a roll-top bath amidst the boughs.
Pembrokeshire
Just 15 mins from the wide-open bay of Manorbier Beach, the Sea Shed is the perfect spot for blowing the cobwebs away. Tucked away at the bottom of the owner’s garden, on the edge of woodland, the bijou cabin is ideal for surfers who want a cosy nest to come back to at the end of the day.
Cornwall
The boathouse is a setting straight out of Wild in the Willows; set on a private lake, complete with your own row boat. Take advantage of the bucolic setting in the outdoor tub, with a wild swim or by the fire pit then as the sun dips, retire inside to watch a movie on the projector by the woodturning stove. Bliss.
Dorset
When the ex-PR for Gucci sets up a cabin business on a farm in Dorset, you know it’s not going to be the generic Shepherd’s Hut country idyll - and Cat Earp certainly doesn’t disappoint. The four huts at Aller Dorset at beautifully appointed, in fun brights and chic finishes that are less rustic and more Soho House (in fact you can buy some of the homewares from Aller Studio if you fall in love with the interiors). From rainforest showers with local, handmade products, to Egyptian cotton sheets and outdoor baths overlooking the rolling Dorset hills. Take a dip in the spring-fed lake, or book in for tennis if you are feeling energetic, or switch off and enjoy a pre-prepared fire pit supper, or a reflexology session in your hut for some blissful R&R.
