Vacation Rental Description
This quiet, level oak woodland site is set in 8.5 acres of parkland naturally screened by rhododendrons amongst the mature oaks, beeches & birches.
A peaceful relaxing and fun holiday can be enjoyed at Alpine Grove. From the tranquil setting of your own log cabin, you can discover the unique charm of a holiday in beautiful woodland. Here the delights of the outdoor life are on your doorstep, discover the wealth of wildlife especially Rabbits, Pheasants, Buzzards, Woodpeckers and even Roe Deer.
Children are occupied with a play area and a giant trampoline complete with safety enclosure netting, plus the abundance of safe cycle and walking tracks within the park to explore and play safely. The woods are great for den building. Try and complete the scavenger trail and receive a prize.
We also have an outdoor heated swimming pool (approx 85 degrees F) which is positioned in a sun trap complimented with sun loungers.
Each real solid round wood log cabin is encircled by trees for your privacy yet open enough to let sunlight through. We aim to give you that cosy, romantic log cabin retreat experience with a solid wood burner, skylight over the master bed for star gazing and a balcony for dining al-fresco.
Our fully equipped bespoke log cabin is exclusively designed for all your needs and is perfect for all year round short breaks or even a long holiday.
