This spacious and unique log cabin has an open plan living area oozing folk charm. With steps down to the garden and large windows that are great for keeping an eye on the resident Alpacas, there is also a sociable dining space with doors opening directly on to the balcony. The kitchen forms part of the open plan space, is equipped with all the essentials for a self catering holiday, and if you fancy a spot of al fresco dining, why not cook up a storm outside on the gas BBQ.
