Log House Holidays
Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Swallows and Amazons in the Cotswolds. Every cabin comes with its own rowing boat and little beach, so kids spend the weekend messing about on the lake, toasting marshmallows and spotting kingfishers. You get a hot tub on the deck and blissful privacy. Brilliant for a big-family get-together in the larger lodges.

Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens ↗
~21 miles · ~30 mins
Wildlife park · ideal day trip
Rhinos grazing on the lawn in front of a Victorian manor sums up this park's charm. A narrow-gauge railway, walk-through lemur enclosure and a big adventure playground make it a relaxed family day in the heart of the Cotswolds.
~26 miles · ~45 mins
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
Adam Henson's farm showcases rare British breeds, with animal handling, tractor rides, jumping pillows and a woodland adventure trail. It is surrounded by Cotswolds villages and boutique hotels, so ideal for a weekend.
~37 miles · ~45 mins
Zoo · ideal day trip
Bristol's zoo moved to open woodland on the city's edge, so animals such as gorillas, okapi and red river hogs have far more room. Children get woodland trails and big play spaces, and it fits easily into a Bristol or Bath weekend.
~37 miles · ~45 mins
Science centre · rainy day option
Bristol's hands-on science centre with hundreds of interactive exhibits and a 3D planetarium. Great on a wet day during a Bristol or Bath weekend.
~37 miles · ~45 mins
Castle / historic · ideal day trip
Brunel's iron ship sits in a dry dock with a glass 'sea' you can walk beneath, and children can climb the rigging, explore cabins and smell the galley. Immersive history right on Bristol's harbourside.
~43 miles · ~45 mins
Safari park · ideal day trip
Driving through the lion reserve with monkeys clambering over the car is a childhood memory in the making. Beyond the safari there is a hedge maze, an adventure castle playground, boat rides and the stately house itself, enough for two full days.
~51 miles · ~1 hr
Adventure park · ideal day trip
Underground caves with a witch legend, plus a dinosaur valley, adventure golf, a circus show and a Victorian penny arcade. A full day of variety, close to Bath and Wells.
~52 miles · ~1 hr
Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip
Explore show caves with dramatic stalactites, climb the 274-step lookout and walk along the gorge's cliff top. A good mix of adventure and geology, near Wells and the Mendips.
