Holiday accommodation with a twist

The log cabin, Trossachs

If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a cosy surprise. Three Forestry Commission domains - in North Yorkshire, Cornwall and Strathyre in Scotland - are now home to pine-built holiday cabins. In the heart of the scenic forest of Strathyre's Trossachs National Park, there's a choice of Standard, Superior or VIP cabins with two or three bedrooms and a veranda (VIP cabins have hot tubs and wood-burning stoves). The surrounding ‘Rob Roy country' is ideal for hill walkers, with an almost 3,000-foot ascent to the summit of Ben Ledi.
