It may be blowin’ a hoolie out there but it’s still pretty cosy wrapped up in our tents.
This is what it feels like when ‘back to basics’ is still set up to cope with the fine Scottish weather!!

The nights may still be a little chilly and blustery, but there’s a warm cosy glow coming from the bothy as we peak inside to see the fire roaring.

Unique experiences don’t just stop with our accommodation - we also offer lots of fabulous opportunities to immerse yourself in the food culture we have here in our organic farm. From breakfast packs to farm tours there’s lots to take in.
But the jewel in our crown is our fantastic supper club events hosted cooked over fire by professional chef Darren Ross, served on a long table in our atmospheric barn.
It’s a magical experience not to be missed.

This is the second time this year we’ve had such amazing skies. We live in such an amazing part of the world.

Autumn 🍂 is in the air. I love these mornings when the sun takes forever to rise fully and the dew sparkles from every blade of grass. It’ll be woolly hat weather before you know it!!
