The log cabin was delivered when promised but the team were not equipped with satellite navigation so had to make phone calls so I could give them directions! My wife and myself erected the cabin in one day to the point of getting the plastic covering on the roof. To complete the project, including painting the outside, varnishing the floor, adding gutters and an additional window took another 8 days. The various components of the log cabin fitted together well and was easy to erect. Doors and windows fitted well and there was only minor adjustments need to the doors to get them to close correctly. Very pleased with the quality of the fittings to the doors and windows. Some of the instructions needed to be read a second time before they made sense (could be my lack of technical knowledge) otherwise there were no major problems. Overall we are very pleased with the product and, based on quality and price, we would recommend Dunster House cabins to our friends.

We spent a long time searching the Internet and visiting garden centres before deciding to buy from Dunster house From the first phone call to the delivery the service was first class we visited the showroom in Flixborough and looked at the cabins and all the questions we had were answered and we were very impressed with knowledge of the sales staff The two chaps who delivered it were friendly and professional and nothing was to much trouble I am a retired fireman my son is a fisherman we have only basic DIY kills but we followed the instructions and watched the YouTube video and in 2 days we had built our cabin We were impressed by the quality of the materials and how easily everything fitted together perfectly We still have a few finishing touches to do but overall we are delighted with our cabin We are so pleased we choose Dunster house and would recommend them to anyone wanting to buy a cabin we are 100% impressed

A well-designed and relatively easily assembled building that looks absolutely great at the bottom of the garden. The only gripes were some split pieces of timber that needed gluing and clamping to make them useable, and a temporary roof prop that was not the correct length, requiring the roof to be taken down and re-assembled. Other than that - excellent!

Purchasing a Dunster House log cabin 5 years ago was the best money I have ever spent. I initially used it as my business for private practice counselling, saving me a fortune in office rental. For the last year, however, it has become my writing space where my first novel is almost complete. When I retired I redecorated the inside to be 'girly'pink as I wanted a totally feminine space. It developed into a theme of birds and birdhouses, quite apt for a garden she-shed. I painted an old chair pink and covered its seat with suitable material, hung pink voile curtains and replaced the brown cushions with fluffy hearts and shabby chic ones you see in garden centres but don't buy for the home. I recommend Dunster House to those who enquire about my special place, the service is excellent and the price reflects the quality and serviceability. Its uses are endless depending on ones hobbies.

Vantage 250 is a good size for a little Summer House, and a pleasant design and well made. The cottage windows are optional,and we may use them at a later date. I will try and send photo later.

We have just purchased a Vantage 250 summerhouse. The unit was delivered on time on Tuesday 12th April by two helpful guys. I had arranged for a concrete base but for various reasons it was not ready. However, the base was finally done on Wednesday 13 April and we started it about 4pm. The following morning, I thought the base was dry enough to put the base of the summerhouse down and start putting it together.I started in Ernest at around 10am, On.my own and with just my wife to help carrying and fetching etc(she was very helpful!!). By 4.30 pm the whole thing was assembled apart from the glazing bars, which we are not using (as a suggestion, the could be an optional extra as I feel sure many people will not use them and we are using lead tape to create an effect). The roof shingles took a full day to put on, probably due to my inexperience. I am an OAP (aged 73 actually) and although I have lots of diy background, I have no real building experience. The quality of the summerhouse really is first class and one of my pals will be in touch with you. Just a couple of suggestions are that a better quality roof finial would be nice and the window/ door fitting could be better, even if optional extra. Other than that, absolutely excellent product and service. The above is not exaggerated, honest. I will send photos when the unit is finally painted.
