Utterly magical

Pros: Everything. Complete bliss. Stunning location. Exceptional hosts, such attention to detail.

Angela 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: This was absolutely beautiful. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and shown all around. I was very worried as it is totally of grid, but I was amazed . The hut is very well furnished, and the fire keeps it really warm. The views were outstanding the bonus of an outdoor fire pit with 2 chairs we sat and watched the sun go down with the fire pit alight and a glass of wine in hand it was so peaceful that all you could hear were the birds singing and the lamb. If you are looking for a quiet place to totally regenerate, this is the place to go.

Restorative

Pros: The property suited me because I wanted to feel like I was out in the wild moors \u0026 mountains of Scotland with no-one around me.

Mchaffie 10/10

Pros: Lovely location. Everything provided. The sort of place thta would be better in the summer as the facilities are spread out, like real camping. But a lovely cosy hut to retreat to and the wood stove is excellent.

Pros: The shepherds hut was so cosy and beautiful. The setting was lovely. A proper wee escape in nature. Anna (and the dogs \u0026 chickens) was so welcoming. The welcome gifts were a real treat. The experience of the compostable toilet was a real adventure!! Loved the head torch to find my way back to the hut.

Truly unique experience being close to nature

Pros: What a wonderful place to stay, this was definitely the best accommodation we stayed at after 9 days of Scotland. We enjoyed the view, the cosiness and atmosphere, and the great hospitality. Anne was an amazing host, she was willing to check for us our self-picked Chantarelles from the afternoon and shared with us some herbs and veggies from her garden to complete our dinner cooking. The sunroom was gorgeous with solid cooking facilities. Everything was very authentic. Cast-iron pots and pans, firewood heater, selfmade tea towels. Most of all the attention of detail really finished off the experience. The hut was beautifully made and Anne arranged complimentary self made biscuits, local gin and tonic, marshmallows for roasting over the firewood heater, not even to start about the ornamental attention to detail. Even the selection of books were perfectly fitting with the setting. Would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.
