Staying in a pine lodge for a holiday is usually a pleasant experience, each lodge is attractively furnished to be a private and comfortable temporary holiday home. It offers more than just a bed to sleep in, you also have all the comforts that you would associate with a hotel stay plus extra space and your very own kitchen where you can cook for yourself and store the food that you plan to eat during your holiday. Self-catering holidays are essentially a ‘home from home’, they enable you to perform many of the chores that you would do at home but come with advantages.
Have snacks and drinks on hand
It is so relaxing to just be able to go to your kitchen to help yourself to a cup of tea or a cold drink from the fridge. If you arrive back from a day out at midnight, you simply use your key to let yourself in and prepare a snack and a nightcap. A self-catering holiday is freeing and flexible – you are in charge of your own experience.
Log cabins make for very good holiday accommodation. They are often set in green areas, surrounded by woodland for privacy. If you book a stay in a log cabin in the Cairngorms, you should have fabulous views and walks from the front door.
Places such as Ballater are fairly wooded so it would not be surprising to find pine lodges set amongst the trees. Parking is usually adjacent to each lodge.
The facilities in the pine lodges
The lodges will all be equipped with the standard appliances such as kettle, toaster, cooker and refrigerator. Some will also have a dishwasher, washing machine, possibly a tumble dryer.
The more luxurious lodges may have a hot tub on the decking or patio, a coffee machine, freezer, ice maker and more.
Pine lodge holidays in Scotland are usually sited in rural areas. Take a bicycle or walk to explore the trails. There is much to do and see. It would be possible to take your dog on holiday with you to Aberdeenshire if you book a dog-friendly pine lodge.
At the end of the day, your pine lodge will be there with a sitting room where you can relax and watch television or catch up with friends on your ipad. Many of the log cabins will have free WiFi.
