Our Bothy Experience is an off-grid cabin stay in the wilds of Inverlonan. Completely off-grid you’ll be immersed in nature, waking up to sunrises over Loch Nell with the very best locally produced foods delivered to your door. Inverlonan is all about slow living, reconnecting with nature and celebrating the simple pleasures in life.
Is it similar to camping?
Yes and No. We are elevating our experience to embrace all the things we love about the outdoors packaged in a luxury cabin experience. There’s a magic in heating your water over a stove and taking a shower outside, cooking up food over your fire pit and listening to the sounds of water lapping at your bothy door. We’ve worked with the very best artisan producers and makers in Scotland to create the ultimate rough luxury stay.
What does the accommodation consist of?
We’ve built three architecturally designed off-grid cabins that accommodate 2 people in each. Each bothy has a private deck area, with views of Loch Nell and the surrounding landscape. Large windows carefully placed immerse our guests in nature. A fire pit, outdoor wood-fired pizza oven and wood-burning stove provide all the equipment you need to cook up a wild feast.
What are the toilets like?
A few steps from your Bothy is your private ECO toilet compost loos (and no, they don’t smell!).
