"I always knew it would be good, but not this good!" Billie, 10

Ecocabin's self catering Shropshire holiday accommodation is purpose-built.

The frame of the building is constructed using local Douglas Fir.  The external walls are of native larch boarding and insulated using British sheep’s wool.  The internal walls are lined with reedboard which is then lime plastered.  The floor is finished in native ash and environmentally friendly paints and wood finishes have been used throughout.  Ecocabin has been furnished using mainly recycled or reclaimed materials.
