10 of the best new cabin and lodge stays in the UK woodlands
Cascade Cabin, Cambrian Mountains, Ceredigion
This cabin on stilts sits on the edge of a wooded glen near a stream. It is in a secluded location on a 38 acre estate with woods and waterfalls, gorges, caverns and follies. There is no postcode, wifi or electricity…guests wheel their luggage to the front door in a wheelbarrow. After that, they're not really roughing it: there's a wood-burning stove, outdoor shower, hot tub, and hammocks. The woods are home to deer and birds of prey, and there are plenty of walking trails.From £150 a night, for two people, kiphideaways.com
Lazy Bear Hideaway, Burton, Cheshire

The bathroom, 100 meters away, has a compost toilet and a hot shower, and there is a wood-fired hot tub. As well as the forest on the doorstep, visitors can view autumn leaves at Burton Wood, Burton Manor Gardens and Ness Botanic Gardens, all less than a mile away, as can the RSPB's Burton Mere Wetlands.From £160 a night, sleeps two, uniquehideaways.com
