Rural Log Cabins specialist Steve Missen knows all about building a group of log cabins as holiday lets, having recently completed a 12-cabin holiday village for John Lewis Partners. “It’s relatively easy to do and provides an excellent source of additional income for cash-strapped landowners,” says Steve. “Our log cabins make attractive holiday homes and are quick and easy to build — the John Lewis project was completed in just three months from the date of the order.” |

A Holiday Village
A flagship holiday village set in the heart of Hampshire has
re-opened after replacing all the chalet accommodation with new luxury log cabins supplied by Rural Log Cabins Limited.
The estate is owned by John Lewis and provides holiday
accommodation for its employees and their guests in two and three-bedroomed self-catering units. This is the biggest order to date for Rural Log Cabins Limited and was completed to a very tight schedule to open in time for the Summer season. |

Each log cabin is equipped with a stylish and comfortable open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area and fully fitted bathrooms, making the shared facilities of the site a thing of the past. Visitors can however still use the communal dining room for evening meals, breakfasts and afternoon teas. There is also provision for disabled visitors, with one of the cabins being fully fitted with a range of disabled facilities.
The new cabins replace existing buildings which had been on the site for some 40 years. This has allowed the accommodation to be upgraded to 21st century standards and also
provided additional sleeping space for larger families. Rural Log Cabins won the order because of the quality of the cabins and the ability to deliver to tight timescales for the summer season. All cabins are already fully booked for August and the early part of September.

Enjoying the great outdoors
Each cabin has a comfortable living space with an open plan lounge and dining area and a large
verandah to allow for outdoor
living.
The cabins are also designed to be eco-friendly, using natural and sustainable materials throughout and incorporating levels of wall and roof insulation which are much higher than the British
Standard requirement for leisure homes. This gives a much
improved thermal performance, making cabins cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The double-glazed window units are gas-filled and have low-emissivity (low-e) glass coating. These features,
together with the insulation, also provide an excellent acoustic performance, making the cabins extremely quiet.
