The wind whispers through ancient stone as you approach this remote mountain bothy, a sanctuary of stillness where the only sounds are birdsong and the occasional bleat of distant sheep. Light filters through small windows onto weathered walls that have sheltered generations of walkers and adventurers seeking refuge in the wild.
This is a place for self-sufficient adventurers and those drawn to Britain's bothy tradition – simple, off-grid accommodation where you carry in what you need and leave no trace behind. The Tabernacle offers both tent pitches and the shelter of a wilderness hut, perfect for hillwalkers, wild campers, and anyone wanting to disconnect completely. Year-round opening means you can experience the raw beauty of mountain solitude in every season, though conditions demand proper preparation and respect for the environment.
Facilities are deliberately minimal – this is wilderness camping in its truest form. The vibe is contemplative and wild, where evenings are spent by lamplight and mornings greet you with vast, uninterrupted views. Check about campfire possibilities on arrival, and enquire if you're hoping to bring your dog along to share the adventure.
