Accessibility - The cabins have flat ground level access on a single floor and the entrance ways to the main living, cooking and dining area have good access.

Inclusive - All are welcome here.
We are here to do Regenerative Tourism. This means making sure our business has a positive impact on the environment, our community and the people we engage with. The income from Ecotone Cabins goes into developing and supporting our other projects at Leckmelm Wood. These projects include a pioneering Woodland Croft, an accredited Outdoor Children's Nursery and an Ecological Timber Building company. We are striving to develop Leckmelm Wood as an inspiring exemplar for lower impact, environmentally conscientious, and community-engaged enterprise and land management. We want to lead by example by demonstrating alternative models for living, in ways that improve the health and prosperity of our environment and all that inhabit it.

Reviews submitted by the advertiser
5* "We had the privilege of being the very first guests in this cabin; wonderfully located, with great views and all the comfort of the world, including an inspiring set of books on nature and self sufficiency. The cabin and its surroundings breathe nature and hospitality and we felt 'at home' immediately and a little homesick afterwards."
5* "Had a fantastic time. Cabin was so well equipped and the views were stunning. Sam was on hand to help with local knowledge and the surrounding area is beautiful. My advice would be to book it, take your own food (the kitchen has everything you'll need), grab some walking shoes and enjoy having nature at your door."
5* "Feeling revived after lovely few days in Red Squirrel Cabin. Perfect situation with fabulous views and calming environment. Nothing had been left to chance, cabin thoughtfully equipped, and very comfortable. Lots to do and see, looking forward to coming back soon"
