"River Cabin is a wonderful little slice of magic for those who need a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life. I will definitely be returning."
(The Scotsman, November 2024)
Drum roll for our latest venture, the River Cabin. Over the last few years, we've lovingly recreated and restored our old fishing hut situated in total seclusion on the edge of the river Fernate.
The result is a dreamy off-grid, sustainable glamping bolthole that truly embodies highland escapism. Sitting by the fire pit, searing steak on the Green Egg BBQ, or soaking in the wood-fired hot tub, you'll instantly switch off and feel utterly at one with nature as the river burbles away in the background.
It's definitely luxury glamping, as we haven't skimped on the interiors. Pooky light fightings, Fired Earth fish scale tiles, fluffy Out of Eden bathrobes, you get the picture. There's a flushing loo (rather than the usual compost and wood shavings) and an invigorating shower with water sourced from a natural spring. The well-equipped kitchen boasts an electric fridge, two-ring gas hob and a full size oven with grill.
One end of the cabin is entirely glass fronted allowing you to sit inside and take in views of the wildflowers (just planted, but will be majestic in the spring...) and the babbling burn.
And when it 's time to turn in, the double box bed, made up with fine cotton linen, is extremely cosy and comfortable. Best of all, you don't even have to get out of bed to open the curtains.
If you're visiting in chillier months, the wood burning stove will cosy up the cabin within minutes.
It's been several years in the making but, hey, we think it's well worth the wait. Whether a romantic getaway, walking holiday, or nature-lovers break, we're confident you'll be suitably smitten
Bookings are two night minimum and, on this occasion, sadly no dogs allowed.
Our resident chef Penny can leave delicious, home cooked, oven-ready suppers in the fridge for your arrival and deliver breakfast hampers.
Importantly, the cabin is totally on its own. There's no clever photography, so you won't arrive to find a gaggle of other glampers cramping your style. Perish the thought.
As with all our accommodation, you have 3000 acres to explore and wild swimming galore. We can't wait to welcome you.
