Shank Wood Log cabin provides the perfect, unique, off the beaten track, back to nature experience. If seclusion and tranquility is important for your holiday look no further. If you are a dog owner your dogs will love the smells and sounds of the woodland surrounding your log cabin with hot tub, dogs can jump in the river if they get too hot and cool off or just laze all day by the river. Dogs are very welcome and they are free!

Getting There:

Further Details
In keeping with the woodland the log cabin is a “real” log cabin, bespokely designed as a Canadian style cabin using local timber. Shank Wood log cabin is the only cabin of its kind in the wood and it provides a space of tranquility and seclusion, far away from the rush of life. The lack of mobile phone signal, computers and television takes you back in time to get back to nature and be submerged in the woodland. The local town of Longtown is a 10 minute drive away and there is an array of shops and food establishments including an excellent fish and chip shop called the Border Cod.
