Reading, Berkshire, England
This riverside log cabin sits on the banks of the River Kennet in Reading, privately positioned in a back garden overlooking a nature reserve and bird sanctuary. The interior is open plan with two double sofa beds, a slate bed pool table, a Hi Fi system, and a copper bathtub in the en suite bathroom. A fully covered veranda with two barbecues faces the river and the Kennet and Avon Canal.
The setting is unusual for a tiny stay: suburban rather than rural, but the river and adjacent bird sanctuary create a pocket of calm that belies the postcode. Games, a large music collection, and fishing gear are provided. At 326 reviews and a 4.98 rating, this cabin has built a loyal following among those who want a characterful riverside stay without driving hours into the countryside. Dogs are welcome.
We love the copper bathtub and the pool table. They give this cabin a personality that most small stays lack, and the riverside bird sanctuary adds a layer of wildlife that feels borrowed from somewhere far more remote.
Guests frequently praised Marc as a friendly and helpful host, with many noting his attentiveness. Reviews highlight the hot tub, décor, and sound system. Many recommend it for celebratory occasions.
