Log cabin / summer house for the garden

We are lucky enough to be moving to a house with a huuuuuge garden and want to make the most of the space by buying amongst other things a log cabin / wooden building for the end of the garden...
Does anyone know of any reputable but reasonable firms/sellers?
We havent decided definitely on the size yet, but the bigger the better as long as the price is reasinable.
Any suggestions MUCH appreciated - thanks :)

    We bought one on Ebay, and it seems to be about half the price of any of the others we have seen!

    I can't remember the company name (altho I will look if you really want - I'm working atm so can't scrabble around for the paperwork) but there's a wide variety on Ebay. We are really impressed with the inside temperature of ours - nice thick walls (I've just seen an Ebay one with 2 thicknesses of wall, but ours is just about an inch thick). Ours cost just over £1000 IIRC, and from memory is about 15' x 10'

    There is a firm at LANGWORTH just outside Lincoln that have good quality Summer Houses. When I was looking they were reasonable. In the end I got mine from elsewhere but that was because I had a trailer and could fetch it myself and I found a "last years model" at a knock down price (it had the instruction book shredded by a mouse so that made erection interesting but even so it only took a day and getting the base area level probably took longer but if you've a flat site there should be no problem)

    The place I actually got mine from was Sundeck Doncaster It was a last years model and the most basic log cabin they did. Cost £600 3yrs ago and was definitely good value for money. Still getting lots of use. The wood preserving will take time This is more or less what we did
