Bizzyberry Lodge, South
Lanarkshire
Product: Log home kit
Supplier: Scandinavian Homes,
0845 299 6337, homes@
scandinavianhomes.com,

Details: Bizzyberry Lodge is a luxury
modern log cabin, complete with hot
tub set in its own private woodland
garden with stunning views of
Tinto Hill, near Biggar in South
Lanarkshire.
Rosie and Jim have built a log
holiday home with a contemporary
yet cosy and welcoming vibe. They
chose a customised version of
the Soina log home kit from the
Scandinavian Homes range. A key
feature of this design is the full
height living area with mezzanine,
which is open to the roof inside. The
log cabin is set in its own wooded
grounds with a private entrance, next
to Jim and Rosie’s farm.
Jim built the cabin himself,
with help from an experienced
builder. Once the shell was up
and watertight, Jim finished it
off inside. His attention to detail
really shows! Luxury features
include a contemporary log
burner and a hot tub. Step free
access allows the holiday home
to be used by all.
The highly insulated log building
kit came complete with double
glazed windows, so running costs
are low. To help minimise the
carbon footprint, a wind turbine and
ground source heat pump were also
installed.
Rosie focused on the interior
design and furnishing, with the
end result being a beautifully
comfortable log cabin. Guests
certainly love it, and have given it
five star reviews. Available via AirBnB
you can stay there to see just how
beautiful a log cabin holiday home
can be.
Customer feedback: Owner Rosie
Wallace said: “The log home kit was
of excellent quality, and we would
thoroughly recommend it. Clients
love the cosy, well thought-out and
personal build.”
The Nest, Argyll and Bute
Product: Finman Retreat with porch
Supplier: Logspan, 01389 734572,
info@logspan.com, www.logspan.com
Details: Located in the grounds of Ardteatle, the
Nest allows guests to relax, get back to nature,
enjoy beautiful views and, at the end of the day,
enjoy a very comfortable warm double bed and ensuite
bathroom.
Logspan was asked to provide a glamping
structure that worked with the landscape, provided
a cosy environment for guests and was a welcome
retreat after a hard day hiking, or just relaxing!
The building had to be constructed entirely on
location as the site was down a single track drop
with limited access.
Customer feedback: Sonja, CEO, said: “We love the
Retreat, as do our customers. The customer reviews
are fantastic and it’s rented out all the time.”
