Free this weekend
Every day we check the calendar of each lodge and cabin. These pages only list places with both nights of the weekend still free, cheapest first.
Availability is widest if you can move a day or two. Next week has more places open than this coming weekend, and the lowest starting prices are close in both cases. Weekends with both nights free are fewer, since Friday and Saturday go first. If you only need a Sunday to Thursday stay, you will usually find more places and softer prices than on a Saturday.
A last-minute cabin break in the UK covers a lot of ground, from a one-bedroom cabin for two in the Peak District or on the Ulster coast to a lodge for fifty guests. Most places sleep around six, and almost two thirds have a hot tub, so the feature is easy to find. About four in ten have a log burner and a similar share take pets, which helps if you are travelling with a dog in winter.
Prices vary widely. The cheapest nights are for two people in simpler cabins, some of them on the coast or in the Midlands and East of England. Lake views, a sauna and a hot tub together push a night much higher, and the lakeside and Highland examples show it. Size matters more than anything else. A family lodge costs a little more than a small cabin, while lodges for large groups cost several times as much. If you are free at short notice and happy to be flexible on region, the choice is large and the budgets are wide.

Hot tub lodges and cabins for two draw the most interest, and they are also the places that go first at short notice. Dog friendly stays follow, which is no surprise when almost two thirds of places accept pets. If a favourite is booked for your dates, look at a neighbouring area. The Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors sit close together, as do Snowdonia and Anglesey, and the cost can differ by a clear margin between them.

Pitlochry sits in Perthshire, and Loch Faskally is 730 yards from the lodge. The railway station is 580 yards away, so you can arrive by train and walk.
A hot tub is the main feature here, set among outdoor furniture, an outdoor fireplace and a barbecue area. Each has a kitchenette and a private bathroom.
A hot tub on the decking is the most searched feature for a UK cabin break. We only show it when the property page lists it.
Nearly two thirds of places list a hot tub, so it is not a rare extra. It is most common in Wales and in Northern Ireland, and less common in Scotland, where only about half have one. The Lake District has far fewer hot tub cabins than Yorkshire or Wales, so you have less choice there at short notice. Check whether the tub is private or shared.
A weekend for two needs a different place from a family week or a birthday with twelve friends: we sort the lodges by what really matters for each trip.
The type of trip changes the starting price a good deal. Pools, family lodges and dog friendly cabins start cheapest, while luxury hot tub lodges and large group places start higher. Romantic cabins for two are the next step up in comfort, with a wide range. Secluded cabins are plentiful, but remote sites can mean a long drive to a shop, so bring food for the first evening. Large groups should check bedding and bathroom numbers as well as the headline capacity.
Christmas, New Year and half-term weeks go first. The table shows how many places are still free for each week and the usual price.
Christmas and New Year weeks have little left: only about one place in ten is free at Christmas and fewer at New Year. February half term and Easter are far more open, with nearly half of places free. A week at half term costs more than a Christmas week, so the festive period is not always the dearest. If you want Christmas at a cabin, book early or look at a few nights rather than a full week, which tends to leave more choice.

When to go and what it costs
Nights are cheapest in November and rise month by month through the winter into spring. April is the dearest month of the six, and November the cheapest. Availability moves the opposite way. Just under half of nights are free in November and December, while about six in ten are free from February onwards. So the early winter months give you the lowest prices, but the spring months give you more dates to choose from. January and February sit in the middle on both counts.

Prices by size
Size drives the price more than any other factor. A cabin for two to four costs the least, and a family lodge for five to eight costs a little more. Beyond that the steps are large: a lodge for nine to fourteen costs over twice as much a night as a family lodge, and a group lodge for fifteen or more costs about twice as much again. Weeks follow the same pattern. Winter weeks are not much cheaper than other weeks, and for the largest lodges they are a little cheaper. Split between two cabins if the group is large.

Lodges by country
England has by far the most places and is the dearest for a usual night. Northern Ireland is the cheapest, with a small number of places and a lower weekly price too. Scotland sits below England and Wales on price, and its places are smaller, with fewer hot tubs. Wales has the highest share of hot tubs among the larger countries and the dearest usual week. For the best value on a short break, look at Northern Ireland or Scotland. For the widest choice, look at England.
The lowest starting prices are on the Isle of Wight, in Norfolk and in the Scottish Borders. The Lake District, the Cotswolds, the Cairngorms, Loch Lomond and Fife start higher. Cornwall, Devon and Yorkshire have the largest numbers of places, so they are the safest bet when you have only a few days to find a place. Smaller areas such as the Forest of Dean, the New Forest and the Isle of Skye have fewer cabins, and your dates may not be free.
Not always. Some places drop their nights when dates are still free, and the lowest prices are for midweek stays. Weekends and school holidays cost more. Compare a few dates before you decide.
Which month is cheapest for a cabin break?
Of the winter and spring months, November has the lowest usual nightly price. Prices then rise through to April. Early winter also has fewer free nights than spring, so you may have less choice of dates.
Can a group book a cabin for Christmas?
Only a small share of places are free for Christmas and New Year weeks. Larger lodges cost several times as much as a cabin for two to four, so a group may find two smaller cabins cheaper. Book as early as you can.
