Our top six cabins for a weekend in the Cotswolds

Unique – Vineyards – Wildlife  

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a curved cabin that looks a bit like it belongs in a design museum, The Fuselage is your answer. It sits in the hills above Stroud with views that go on for miles, which are best enjoyed from the hot tub. The sunsets are spectacular and when it finally gets dark, the stars take over.  

Inside, you’ll find a small, well-designed space with a curved bedroom, compact kitchen and big views through floor-to-ceiling glass. The Laurie Lee Way and Cotswold Way passes nearby if you fancy a long walk, and the local vineyard is worth a visit for a tasting or a bottle to bring back. Either way, it’s hard not pause and live slowly here.

Off-grid – Remote – Sauna  

As the name suggests, this off-grid hideaway has a view that goes on for miles. From your king-size bed, you can watch the sun rise over fields through the giant picture windows, spot roe deer at dawn, and listen to nothing but birds and breeze. 

You're close to Cheltenham and Cotswold villages like Guiting Power, but you might prefer to stay local and cook over the firepit, book a sauna session in the woods at Far Peak, or cycle the quiet lanes to lavender fields. It’s remote, quiet, and has a slightly magical feel about it.

Eco-village – Wild Swimming Lake – Workshops 

Follow a woodland trail scented with wild garlic through this beautifully crafted eco-village and you’ll find Hairy Cabin, a secret, soulful hideaway by a hidden lake. The vibe is simple and natural – a sloping-roofed cabin, a wood burner, and a world of adventure just outside the door. 

Paddleboard or swim in the lake, which lies in the remnants of a Victorian pleasure garden surrounded by bamboo and rhododendrons that makes you feel like you’re swimming through a lost world. In the nearby village, you’ll find classes and retreats from foraging to woodworking, and yoga to qi gong.

Vineyard – Animal Experiences – Wood-fired Hot Tub 

Set beside the vines of Road Green Vineyard, The Grape Escape is the kind of cabin where time stretches out. Wake up in a super king bed, wander out to the wood-fired hot tub, or stay in and enjoy the bottle of vineyard-made white wine waiting for you. The hosts provide you with a free bottle on arrival, and there’s an honesty box system for any additional bottles. There’s also a pizza oven on the deck, alpacas nearby, and a view that never really gets old. 

Whether you're strolling through vines to Tyndale Monument or just hopping between hot tub and hammock, this is a Cotswolds stay with a little something extra.

Countryside – AOONB Area – Wood-fired Hot Tub 

The cob fronted lodge is discreet, welcoming and beautiful in all seasons, whether you’re sitting by the wood burner in winter right through to midsummer picnics. Take a walk in Bath's scenic countryside or, if you're feeling less active, enjoy the same views from the comfort of your private hot tub, where you bathe in pure spring water. Once a space for holistic therapies, this beautiful old lodge retains its positive vibes and feels like a place designed to restore you. 

Solsbury Hill, made famous by Peter Gabriel's eponymous song, is set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can walk straight up the hill for a 360° panorama of Bath, or just stay put, watch the larks rise, and let the countryside do what it does best.

Off-grid – Couples Escape – Wood-fired Hot Tub 

Tucked deep in the woodlands of Westley Farm, Gold Rush Cabin is a rustic escape with wild west charm and Cotswolds beauty. Inspired by frontier-era shelters, this off-grid hideout offers an outdoor shower, simple gas hob cooking, and a short forest walk to a characterful loo.  

But it’s not all back-to-basics. There’s a wood-fired hot tub for soaking under the stars and a cosy bed that’s anything but roughing it. Perfect for couples looking to unplug, the cabin invites slow mornings on the deck. When you’re ready to explore, stroll to the local pub or head further for kayaking, wildlife watching, or castle history in the heart of the Cotswolds.
