The best cabins in Hampshire are wonderful locations to add a bit of magic to this beautiful part of the UK. Staying in a cabin is every big kid’s dream, there’s just something so exciting about unique spaces, that are so different from the norm.

Cabins can also be a good way to make your staycation a bit more affordable. Often, they’re cheaper than your standard hotel or BnB, but just as nice, if not better. 

Hampshire is located in the South of England, with its two biggest towns being Portsmouth and Southampton.

Both port towns, there is plenty to do on offer, including learning about Britain’s maritime history and taking in the views 170m up at Spinnaker Tower. Also in Hampshire, Winchester is home to a stunning cathedral, which is well worth a visit. 

Stepping out of the city, there are castles to explore, Jane Austen’s house to visit and New Forest and The South Downs National Parks to get lost in.

The Parks are home to plenty of walking and cycling routes, as well as a 100-year-old steam railway. For any beach lovers out there, Hampshire is also home to beautiful sandy beaches and quaint coastal towns. 

So, let’s dive in and take a look at the ten best cabins in Hampshire.

1. Boundary
