The Cottage

The creak of a heavy wooden door and the whisper of wind through stone walls announce your arrival at this genuine bothy experience. Tucked away as a traditional mountain shelter, The Cottage offers that rare taste of wild simplicity where weather-beaten timber meets highland hospitality.

This is a site for self-sufficient adventurers and those seeking an authentic back-to-basics escape. Whether you're pitching your tent on the grounds or bedding down in the basic hut itself, you'll need to come prepared with provisions and a pioneering spirit. Dog owners should enquire ahead about bringing four-legged companions, while those dreaming of a campfire evening will need to check what's permitted on arrival. The year-round opening means this shelter stands ready through Scotland's moody seasons, from summer's long gloaming to winter's sharp frost.

Facilities are stripped back to essentials, keeping true to the bothy tradition of simple refuge. The atmosphere is one of quiet camaraderie among fell-walkers, wild campers, and those who understand that sometimes the best luxury is a solid roof and four walls when the mountain mist rolls in.
