One of the top choices when it comes to festive breaks has got to be holiday homes with warming woodburners or open fires. Both people and animals love to snuggle up by the warmth of an open fire and watch the logs crackle and burn, or sit by the warming glow of a warming woodburner. It’s a simple pleasure but an important one in winter time that can make you feel all snuggly and warm inside.

Log Cabins with Warming Woodburners for that Special Holiday Feel

Escape to a cabin by a forest perhaps this winter?

There’s something romantic about staying in a log cabin in winter time. Maybe it’s because so many Christmassy films feature snow clad wooden lodges, but there’s something special about winter log cabin breaks that give them extra festive appeal and can give you that special holiday feeling.

Many lodges are nestled next to forests or lakes which can look particularly beautiful in winter time, particularly when trees have been giving a dusting of snow or lakes have frozen over.
