With the Christmas holidays upon us, what better place for children to unplug from the buzz of their screens and reconnect with nature than in a Plankbridge hut – a cosy, creative hideaway where their imaginations can run wild and special memories can be made.
Think frosty mornings spent spotting wildlife, playing board games, or building dens outside, followed by afternoons curled up with a marshmallow-topped hot chocolate and a favourite book in front of a cosy wood burner. Our huts are made for adventure, whether that’s crafting decorations, working on school projects, or playing board games while the wind blows outside.
Designed with family life in mind, our huts and cabins can be anything you need them to be. We have found they often start as the perfect playroom but easily transform into a guest bedroom, home office or studio as your family grows. You can add clever features too – built-in bunk beds, day beds that double as a sofa, fold-out handcrafted desks and plenty of hidden storage for toys, games and art materials. We can even build cubby holes to store little wellies. Our customers tell us that our huts quickly become the most loved spot in the garden – the perfect sleepover retreat for the holidays or for a special birthday celebration.
And because the interior is every bit as important as the way the hut looks on the outside, our design team will work with you to choose the right colour scheme to transform your hut into a magical retreat – whether you are looking for calm nature-inspired tones like sage green or duck egg blue to reflect the landscape or prefer something a bit bolder – playful pops of colour like sunny yellows and cheerful reds. Wallpaper and fabrics can also bring your hut’s interior to life and our Creative team will be delighted to work with you to find the perfect scheme. And don’t forget that the walls of all our huts are insulated with Thermafleece, keeping the space snug in winter and refreshingly cool in summer, so that the magic lasts all year round.
Whether your kids are busy crafting, playing or simply enjoying some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the house (and the parents!), a Plankbridge hut offers a special place just for them. Who knows what stories might unfold in a place that feels like something straight out of a fairy tale?
