Stay In A UK Holiday Lodge

Posted on November 26th, 2011 by Adriana Noton

A lodge holiday deep in a rural setting is a great means of escape from the stress of working life, both for the whole family (along with pets) or for a romantically inclined couple seeking some serenity. The United Kingdom is a great country to choose for a lodge holiday.

Holiday lodges usually consist of a log cabin type structure in a rural location. One advantage of staying in a log cabin in the UK is that it is never too far to the nearest urban setting, meaning that further options for leisure and basic facilities are never far away.

The UK has some of the most beautiful countryside in Europe, couple with significant historical and cultural sites, such as Hadrian’s Wall, or the various historical monuments in York. Travellers to Britain can be staying in a cabin in the wild beauty of the Yorkshire Moors, close to a stunning Welsh beach or on the shores of a loch in a pine-clustered Scottish mountain valley. Great cities such as Cardiff, Birmingham and London are never too far away, while the famous British seaside is never more than a few hours drive away from almost anywhere in the country.

Some of Britain’s waterways are blessed with great fishing, game, coarse and sea, and there are a massive range of outdoor activities on offer across the country. Golf courses, hiking trails and beaches are all easy to access, in places as varied as the warm Channel Islands, just off northern France, to the spectacular mountains of Scotland.

Lodges are often built close together in holiday villages, creating small communities which can provide a great opportunity to socialize and meet new people. Some facilities are built as part of a wider leisure community, such as a fishing lake, while woodland locations are especially popular, with biking and hiking trails, as well as serene forest clearings, just yards away from the front door of the cottage.

One of the key advantages of this kind of holiday is the autonomy that the holiday-maker has. There is no predefined schedule to follow, nor is there any kind of regimented community to keep its grip on activities. With the lodge usually in a fine rural setting, just sitting and admiring the view can often be enough, especially for those looking to soothe away the stresses of modern living.

A lodge break will also often have the added bonus of being dog-friendly, meaning that pets can be taken on holiday and enjoy the break too. Obviously, this varies from provider to provider, and travellers with pets should always check before booking. There will often be an additional charge for any animals, but this is not normally too prohibitive.

Some examples of this type of accommodation also have additional holiday facilities such as saunas, barbecues or outdoor hot tubs, adding a touch of homespun luxury to a vacation. With the UK offering some of the finest places to enjoy on so many different levels in Europe, it is well worth taking a holiday in one of its lodges, and making memories of its rural charms.
