Shank Wood Lodge Cabin

  The Detail...

Run away to the woods and hide out in this isolated log cabin nestled deep amongst the trees. This eco friendly cabin, made from local wood by a local farmer offers the perfect secluded hideaway, that is truly at one with its natural surroundings. Sit in the wood fired hot tub outside on the deck and relax whilst spotting roe deer, otters and kingfishers darting in and out of the beautiful local fauna as the river trickles by in the background. With National Trust walks right on your doorstep, Shank Wood Log Cabin is a fantastic place from which to explore the beautiful wildlife that surrounds you. Stroll among the trees, venture into every nook and cranny of the wood or stop by the river and cast your rod for some peaceful fishing.

The beautiful rustic cabin, which is near the market town of Longtown just north of Carlisle, offers up a true respite from the hum drum of daily life. With only two electrical sockets, powered by solar panels, your stay won’t be interrupted by the TV or internet. Lounge in the comfortable living space with a book by the log fire, or sit out on the deck and watch the sun set behind the trees leaving you with a clear starry sky overhead. The nearest phone signal is a ten minute walk away, meaning Shank Wood Log Cabin really is a truly secluded retreat.

Cook up some lovely locally sourced food on the outdoor BBQ with side hob and dine either outside or in. After dinner retreat to the living space for a game of cards before retiring to the upstairs mezzanine floor, which comfortably sleeps four people in two double beds. Outside there is a private bathroom pod that has its own hot shower, toilet and sink. The gorgeous and simplistic interior of log walls, wooden beams and dark stone flooring, give this fabulous bolthole its character and ensures that it is a truly unique and authentic living space.

As well as the ancient private woodland and wonderful fishing opportunities that sit right on your doorstep, outdoor enthusiasts who venture further afield will not be disappointed. The breathtaking Lake District National Park is a 50 minute drive away and has plenty of hiking, cycling and horse riding opportunities. Carlisle, Brampton and Longtown are nearby for those of you who want to go for a stroll around some shops before getting a pint and a glass of wine.
