About Our Garden Cabins
Designed and built in the UK
Every element of our garden rooms is designed and manufactured in-house at our own state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the UK.
Planning permission rarely required
Planning permission is rarely required as our buildings fall within permitted development rights. Our friendly team are on hand to help if planning is required.
12-year guarantee
All of our garden cabins come with a comprehensive 12-year guarantee, giving you that extra peace of mind in case you have any issues.
Engineered For Year-Round Use
All of our garden cabins are built with double-glazed windows & doors and premium-grade insulation, allowing the directional flow of air and moisture out of the building.
Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable
At Green Retreats, we’re landfill-free, solar-powered, carbon neutral and use recycled & sustainable materials only with every building we manufacture.
Fits close to any solid obstacle
We can build as close as 400mm to any solid boundary obstacle, giving you full flexibility in the position of your garden cabin.

Fantastic Room in a little London garden!
We now have an amazing room at the bottom of our garden that fits in beautifully and feels as though it has been there for ever. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the entire process was very straightforward.

Excellent choice of supplier for my Garden Studio! So pleased
Green Retreats deserve every single one of my star ratings! They have been very professional right from the start, from welcoming me to their warehouse to helping me make the right choice through to a fabulous installation. The finished studio is amazing, a top quality build and the installation teams were timely, polite and very hard-working.
Thanks to you all…what a fab company!!
by Alexa Garthwaite
Fantastic product and service to match
We had a 3.5m by 5m garden room installed last month and we are delighted with the result. We are using it as a home gym and love the extra space it has given us! The building also looks fantastic at the bottom of our garden. Green retreats have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. In summary I have been very impressed by both the product and the service provided by green retreats and highly recommend!
Garden Cabins FAQs
Garden cabins are insulated to be useable all year round. Even in winter, you’ll be able to use a garden cabin as it’ll come with a wall-mounted radiator.
Planning permission is not normally required as our buildings fall under permitted development (built under 2.5m high externally). Most houses, even in conservation areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), have permitted development rights.
Flats and listed buildings have no permitted development rights, so will always need planning permission. Don’t worry though, as planning is a relatively simple process for our garden rooms and we are on-hand to help with this process.
Our garden room structures will need to remain free-standing due to the nature of their construction. However, we can build as close as 400mm to any solid obstacle, such as your house.
We do not offer bespoke building options. However, we do offer many different sizes and styles to suit your tastes and budget. You can start to design your building using our visualiser.
We don’t offer a completely soundproof solution for your garden room. We do, however, offer an acoustic pack which reduces the transfer of sound to approximately -45db – however, this is not ‘soundproof’.
Although we use industry-leading acoustically laminated glass, this is the least effective component of our acoustic pack. Please bear in mind that the more glass you opt for in your garden room, the lesser the effect the acoustic pack will have.
We offer a complete electrical connection from your house to the garden room at an additional cost, which will be confirmed at your design consultation. However, you are more than welcome to use your own preferred electrician for this.
If you are looking to install a bathroom or other facility that would require water to your building, we would be happy to liaise with your plumber of choice to ensure they are comfortable carrying out all plumbing work required to and from the building.
The base will normally take between half a day to 1 day to install. The building itself will usually be constructed the following week where we allocate between 1 and 5 days depending on the size. If you require plastering or our acoustic pack then the process will take a couple of weeks longer due to the drying time of the plaster.
