Food for the soul

Upstairs, guests will find an open-plan living-dining space with a well-equipped kitchen unit provides space for slow breakfasts, thoughtfully made snacks or an evening glass of wine.

Minimalist, yet equipped with everything you need to prepare long brunches or an evening feast, the kitchen unit is bathed in natural light. Enjoy long, lazy brunches or evening drinks as you watch the weather change outside, revelling in the peace and quiet.

Things to do

Embrace slowness, sipping early morning coffee or enjoying late lunches of fresh, local produce on the patio. Creative souls can spend hours wandering mystical loch shores, whilst adventure-seekers explore the depths of the surrounding mountain glens, before leaving boots dry by the front door and settling down for an evening of good food and drink under the open sky.

Unique experiences & activities

From North Bothy, wander down to the loch’s edge in the early light, where the water lies still and the estate is just beginning to wake. A member of our team will prepare a simple flask of something warm to take with you, inviting a gentle moment of pause after a refreshing dip or quiet paddle at the shoreline. It is a peaceful way to greet the day, drawing you closer to the calm, unspoilt nature that surrounds the bothy.
