Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

Step into a welcoming open-plan living area where rustic charm meets utilitarian comfort. A crackling wood-burning stove creates a cosy retreat on cooler evenings, with lanterns and candlelight enhancing the peaceful ambience.

The fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for preparing simple meals, while traditional touches remind you of the building’s crofting heritage.

A comfortable double bedroom offers a tranquil night’s rest overlooking the landscape, and the adjacent shower room is powered by gas, ensuring a refreshing start or end to your day.

Outside, a wood-fired bath invites you to soak beneath the stars, and a fire pit creates a magical setting for evening conversations beside an open flame.

Guests also enjoy access to a secluded private beach, where quiet shores, crystal-clear waters and uninterrupted coastal views create an unforgettable setting for wild swims, sunrise walks and peaceful moments by the sea.

Self-check-in.

Sustainability lies at the heart of this Highland retreat. Fully off-grid and rooted in traditional crofting principles, the bothy operates without mains electricity, encouraging a simpler, more mindful way of living. Heat comes from a wood-burning stove, with gas providing hot water and cooking, while low-impact lighting and minimal reliance on modern infrastructure allow guests to reconnect with nature and tread lightly on the landscape.

Location

The neighbourhood

The Wee Bothy sits in an extraordinary wild-coast setting on Scotland’s west coast, where rolling hills, secluded beaches and the ever-changing sea horizon create a breathtaking backdrop for your stay. Surrounded by ancient oak woodland, hidden coves and your own access to quiet shoreline, this is a place to slow down and truly be present in nature. Wild swimming in the sea, coastal walks along rugged paths and wildlife-spotting, from seals bobbing in the surf to birds of prey overhead, are all on your doorstep.

Days here unfold at nature’s pace: enjoy an outdoor wood-fired bath as the sun dips behind distant hills, follow forest trails peppered with wildflowers in summer or listen to the Atlantic swell while stargazing deep into the night. Despite its peaceful isolation, the Bothy is only a short drive from the charming port town of Oban, where fresh seafood, local artisan produce and a bustling harbour provide a lively contrast to your countryside retreat. From here, further adventures await, from ferries to the Inner Hebrides to scenic drives along the Argyll coastline and beyond.
