Wishbone Kabins

Posted by admin on February 9th, 2009 filed in Local Enterprise

The latest offering in unique year round accommodation. These fabulous little log cabins are cosy sleeping for four. The internal dimensions are approximately 4.2m by 2.4m they have a covered 1m deck out front so no matter what the weather is doing you can sit out and enjoy the view with a dram in hand.

The Cabins pictured in the video clip are situated on Applecross Campsite, but would be equally suitable for your garden, an outdoor office, or possibly to get a bit of breathing space from the older kids or even to compliment bed and breakfast accommodation. They are fully insulated with power, heaters, dimmer lights, four mattresses and a couple of tables.
The cabins have proved very popular with Motorcyclists and week-end trippers, no need to carry a tent & remember pegs, mattress table etc., it means that they can arrive after dark without going the complicated procedure of erecting a tent, especially if its new.

The cabins are a unique design, no need to bend down, except to get through the door, two people can pass easily whilst manouvering inside. The clean lines of the red-wood laminated trusses give the internal space a roomy feel, we have had comments that they are "cathedral like" or like a tardis inside.

The Siberian larch cladding has a pine look to it when its new, but within a couple of years it turns a silver grey colour allowing the cabin to blend seamlessly into it’s surroundings.
Safety is a important factor in this design smoke alarms and fire extinguishers are fitted as standard, the internal lining is made from pre-formed plasterboard with similar fire retardant properties as you would find in a standard house. The electrical wiring is also done to the latest building standards.

Wishbone Kabins are based in Applecross and they are manufactured here and transported where ever needed. The standard model is £6200 + vat, but a bespoke service is available for fitted beds, storage, etc. all designed to your specific requirements.

Camping cabins

The kids loved our cabins, and we did too except for the lack of water, toilet and heat. Oh, there was heat, but it was cold. I mean cold. In the twenties cold. And the water…none.

Camping in Europe

Of all the people we’ve met at campgrounds in Europe, the most surprising are those who are not camping! Virtually all of the campgrounds offer some sort of accommodation for non-campers, from cute little cabins , to dorm style accomodation.
