What do Louisa and Peter say?

"The guests' reaction on arrival says it all"

"Logspan is a joy to do business with. From the start, we found the entire team professional, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient."

"The construction team are so talented - getting these cabins looking this dazzling is no mean feat, and they worked flat out."

"After-sales service is exemplary. I'd go as far as to say that Logspan is a friend and part of our business structure. "

"We put the first cabin up for August last year, and its popularity got us to put the second one up this Spring."

"Bookings are steady and year-round. We've had repeat bookings, a marriage proposal (she said yes!), and honeymooners who extended their stay as they loved it so much here."

"Thank you, Logspan, for helping us give guests a great stay in Bonny, Scotland."
