The scent of peat smoke drifts across Dunan as evening settles over the hills, and inside Tigh a Chaorainn the kettle's already on.

This is a proper Highland welcome — a guest house with camping pods tucked outside for those who want a bit more adventure without giving up a solid roof overhead. It suits couples after a walking holiday, solo travellers exploring the wilder edges of Scotland, and anyone who likes the idea of waking up outdoors but appreciates a proper base. Dog owners should ask ahead to see what's possible. The region is classic Highland country — big skies, quiet glens, the kind of place where you measure distance in landscapes rather than miles.

Facilities aren't detailed, so best to check what's available when you book. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions — ask when you arrive. It's open all year, which tells you something about the folk who run it: they're here through the seasons, not just the sunny months. Expect a low-key, genuine atmosphere and the sort of peace that only comes this far north.

Tackles 20km of rugged Highland terrain with steep, sustained climbs and rocky descents across remote moorland and coastal sections.
