We have a big wet room with compost toilets and hot showers! Note that the shower room is NOT heated. Please accept that, even though the huts are clean, comfortable and cosy, this is a back to nature experience, A simple glamping experience. We use nature friendly practises which included using compost toilets, unscented soaps and torches to walk around at night. We do not iron our sheets but they are washed well. Our huts are self build while re-using materials. Sadly our Rock is not easily accessible for people with mobility issues. Please come with an understanding that our garden is wild and there are minor improvement works going on. Rest assured our shower is hot and your hut is clean and your stay will not be negatively influenced by the works. The Ferry car park is pretty close to your cabin. You may hear traffic arriving and the first ferry departing between 7.30-9AM in the morning. The West coast of Scotland can be really wet and windy. Check the weather forecast. Choose your activities wisely.
