We have a large range of log cabins to suit all requirements and budgets, and we are different from most garden building suppliers in that we specialise in building bespoke, made to measure log cabins that are draftsman drawn and hand crafted to meet your exact specifications.
We also source all our timber products from harvested and sustainable forests. Our log cabins are constructed from Siberian spruce with an interlocking plank system. This method is superior in every aspect to the conventional panel options offered by other manufacturers. We use a double tongue and grooved wind lock system that is a natural barrier to the elements which is available on all our buildings with a 35mm wall and above.

A. Yes. We can offer a hard wired internet catalogue 6 cable from your house out to your new cabin with a WI-FI router, giving you the same internet speed currently enjoyed within your home.
We had a cabin installed in May and the whole family are over the moon with it, it’s the perfect family room/space we needed.
We would highly recommend Creative Living and their cabins. The team was super professional, courteous and helpful at every stage. And the cabin itself is of excellent quality and excellent value for money.
A big thank you to Martin, Stuart and Graham! If you’re thinking of getting a cabin/garden room – get one with these fine people, you’ll wish you did it sooner!
Simon Nash
We are learning to live with the new cabin. It’s always a shock to walk in to it and realise that “Hey, this is ours! Wow”. It really is beautiful and extremely well built.

I am extremely pleased with the manner in which Steve Day project managed the whole event, it was timely and what was requested was delivered as agreed and when it was promised.

'Bespoke' Cabin
After visiting many log cabin stockists across the width and breadth of the country, we had given up hope of finding a quality building. Then we discovered Creative Living, and cannot express sufficiently our joy in what we had found!
Terry & Jen, from Hants
'Bespoke' Cabin
We liked the choice of cabin styles offered by Creative Living, and overall we had a positive experience and a good quality product. One after sales issue (e.g. amending the decking) was also handled well.
Sophie Tomkins, Chobham, Surrey
'Hampshire' Cabin
The main reason for choosing Creative Living was the quality of the products on display. A great team with a good attitude, all makes for a great experience.
Mr R Adams, Effingham, Surrey
'Cumbria' Cabin
The honestly, openness and lack of pushy salesmenship was refreshing. The cost compared to our other option, which was a house extension, was simply an easy decision. What you get for your money is superb.
Mr & Mrs Glanville, Surrey
