Weekend Visitors? Why a garden cabin is the perfect guest Accommodation

A Home Away from Home – Just Steps from Yours

Our live-in garden cabins offer a stylish and practical solution to guest accommodation. Designed with comfort in mind, these cabins can be fitted with insulated roof and floors, double glazing and electric making them warm and welcoming year round. Some customers even opt for plumbing to create a fully self contained space with a bathroom and kitchenette.

Perfect for Weekend Visitors

Imagine your guests arriving on a Friday evening and having their own private space just across the garden. They can relax, unpack, and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep without worrying about disturbing the rest of the house or being disturbed themselves. You get to enjoy quality time together during the day, knowing everyone has their own space to retreat to.

It is the ideal setup for:

  1. Visiting family or in laws
  2. Friends staying for special events
  3. Teenagers coming home from university
  4. Even future Airbnb opportunities












Year-Round Use

While cabins are great for summer sleepovers, many of our models are built for all season use. With proper insulation and heating, they are just as comfortable in December as they are in July. That means your weekend guest room doesn’t go to waste for half the year, it is a fully usable space that can also double as a home office, hobby room, or studio.



Customised to Suit You

At Summerhouses Unlimited, we specialise in bespoke cabins. Whether you are after a simple one room retreat or a fully divided multi room setup, we work with you to create a cabin that fits your garden and your lifestyle.

With options like:

  1. Pent or apex roofs
  2. Verandas or decking areas
  3. Interior partitioning for multiple rooms
  4. High quality doors and windows

You can tailor the design to match your home and garden perfectly.


Add Value to Your Home

Not only do garden cabins offer practical benefits, they can also add value to your property. A well built, insulated outbuilding is a highly desirable feature for many buyers, especially in today’s world of flexible working and multi-generational living.
