The details

High above the Derwent Valley, within a landscape recognised by UNESCO for its outstanding beauty, four hand-crafted cedar log cabins sit quietly among trees and open countryside, offering a deeply romantic escape designed entirely for two. Individually positioned and inspired by the natural world, Komorebi, Apricity, Petrichor and Serein each promise privacy, tranquillity and an indulgent sense of slowing down.

Each two-storey cabin has been individually hand-scribed from Western Red Cedar trunks, creating interiors that feel warm, cocooning and rich with character. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen and living space invites you to settle in straight away. Light the log burner, stretch out on the sofa and let the outside world fade away as woodland or countryside views pour in through wide sliding glass doors. Limestone floors with underfloor heating add an extra layer of comfort, whatever the season.

The ground floor bathroom is designed for shared indulgence, with double sinks, Molton Brown toiletries and a walk-in rainforest shower for two. Step outside and you’ll find private decking that feels wonderfully secluded, complete with your own hot tub and outdoor sauna. Long evenings here are spent soaking beneath the stars, listening to birds settle for the night or watching mist drift across the valley.

Upstairs, the open mezzanine bedroom is pure romance. A king size four-poster bed sits beneath soaring timbers, while a freestanding metal bath invites candlelit soaks with far-reaching views. An internal bridge leads out to the first-floor balcony, where morning coffee comes with birdsong and a deep sense of calm.

Each cabin has its own personality. Komorebi celebrates sunlight filtering through trees, Apricity captures the gentle warmth of winter sun, Petrichor feels cocooned among the treetops and Serein enjoys sweeping countryside views across the Derwent Valley, inspired by fine rain falling at sunset.

Thoughtful touches run throughout, from dressing gowns and slippers to smart TVs, unlimited broadband and a Dolce Gusto coffee machine. Guests can also arrange romance and celebration packages, in-cabin spa treatments or guided forest bathing nearby.

When you’re ready to explore, the surrounding Derwent Valley offers scenic walks, historic mill towns and riverside trails, with Belper close by for independent shops and cafés. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply craving uninterrupted time together, these cabins offer a truly memorable escape.
