Log Cabins
All of the cabins have full ensuite. All cabins are pine lined with their own heating and instantaneous hot water. Our cabins are warm and well maintained - where there are many bunk beds we have suggested a maximum number of people to ensure your comfort and safety, essentially in larger rooms we are allocating a double bunk to each person, so they have somewhere to put instruments and luggage - however the way you fill a cabin is really up to you - you book the whole room out - reminder that everyone must have their own bedding (including PILLOWS).
