About

Two handbuilt traditional shepherd’s huts are located in a tranquil and private setting.

  • Each shepherd's hut has a comfortable sprung full-size double bed complete with hypoallergenic pillows and duvet covered in cosy brushed cotton linen.
  • Inside is a small wood burner, dresser, double ring gas cooking hob, plates, cutlery, pots and pans to provide a wonderful self-contained retreat.
  • Outside log seating and heavy duty steel campfire with bbq skillet make for an authentic glamping experience.
  • Low voltage solar lighting makes this a truly off-grid low carbon holiday.
  • Toilet & Shower block is a short walk away.

Our wilderness retreat feels very remote yet is located only 8 miles south of the town of Forres in Moray which has a good number of restaurants, takeaways, and bars along with supermarkets and high street shopping.

The location is a lesser-known Scottish gem quickly gaining popularity. Short drive to the Cairngorm Mountains or beaches and internationally award-winning coastline. A short walk to the River Findhorn is often quoted as the most beautiful river in all of Scotland.

  • 5 Star Visit Scotland Quality Assured Activity Provider on site.
  • Our huts are positioned with both visual and noise privacy affording a truly wild experience. Inside for comfort. Outside for wilderness.
  • Stable doors allow the outside in so you can enjoy the quiet sounds of resident wildlife or changing light in the forest fading to a brilliant dark sky of glittering stars.
  • The huts are specifically intended for couples and not suited for groups or children. They are indeed a space for Scottish romance.
  • Rustic wood burning stove inside assures warmth in the coolest of conditions and an opportunity to boil a traditional whistling kettle for a cuppa.
  • A basket of dry hardwood for the wood burner is included.
  • A short walk away is an outside kitchen sink for your washing-up needs.
  • There is a basic kiosk at reception where you can also access power to recharge devices (we recommend a full digital detox during your stay).
