Why Lodges and Glamping Cabins Are the Future of Outdoor Living (and Why Yours Should Be Built Like a House)

River or Lakeside retreat

With demand for UK staycations, luxury lodges, and glamping holidays continuing to rise, many landowners and holiday park operators are asking the same question:

How do we stand out — and how do we build something that lasts?

At Habitat Huts, we don’t just build sheds with windows. We create architectural-designed lodges, glamping cabins, and BS 3632-compliant park homes that feel like real homes, whether you’re planning a luxury retreat business or your own woodland escape.

Built Like a House — Because It Should Be

There’s a world of difference between a bolt-together timber shell and a structure that’s been designed and built to perform like a proper building. Our huts and lodges feature:

• Full insulation for year-round comfort

• Timber frame or SIP construction for structural integrity

• House-quality windows, doors and heating systems

• Optional hot tubs, kitchens, en-suites and more

If you're planning to rent to guests, or live in one yourself, this matters.

Designed Like A Hut, Built Like A House

Glamping That Doesn’t Feel Like Camping

The UK glamping market has matured. Today’s guests expect more than a quirky space, they want privacy, comfort, and high-end finishes. That’s why our models like The Willow and The Perch are designed from the ground up with:

• Smart layouts that maximise small footprints

• Built-in storage, twin or double beds, and quality bathrooms

• Durable cladding and roofing options to match your site and brand

• Seamless integration into the landscape — decks, paths, firepits, planting

We even offer design and planning support, so you’re not left guessing what’s allowed.

BS 3632 Park Homes — A Long-Term Investment

If you’re developing a holiday park or want a lodge for permanent or long-term seasonal use, then BS 3632 is the gold standard. All our homes can be built to this spec, giving you better thermal performance, regulatory compliance, and peace of mind.

Whether it's a handful of lodges for your site or a single forever home in nature, we’ll guide you from concept to completion.

Park Homes and Lodges... Bespoke Designed To Your Needs and Site

Still Doing Garden Rooms — Just Better

We still create bespoke garden rooms and offices — but they follow the same logic: designed properly, built professionally, and made to last. If you're spending serious money on outdoor space, make sure you're getting real value — not something that’ll warp or wear out in five years.
