All bookings are accepted on a firm basis please click here for our cancellation policy and what to do if you need to cancel a booking.
Our bothies and cabins are always cleaned between stays but we operate a 'leave it how you find it' policy. If the bothies or cabins are left untidy, littered or excessively dirty, we reserve the right to make an additional charge.
A good-house keeping security deposit is required on a credit or debit card, this is processed as a pre-authorisation, the day prior to arrival (£50 per cabin, £100 per Bothy/Contained Bliss).

Contained Bliss & Bothies have free wifi. There is also free wifi in the camp kitchen. The rest of the site has good 4G coverage
Caravans & Campers

Electric Vehicles
We are working to provide EV charging, but at this time we cannot offer charging for EV's - specifically, they must not be charged from your accommodation supply points.
Day Guests
Dog owners
Wood Fired Hot Tubs are available with our Pods, Contained Bliss, Bothies and selected Wigwam Cabins, the price includes enough fuel for 2-3 hours use per day, but you can order extra wood if required.
All guests need to receive a hot tub induction prior to use. The latest time we undertake hot tub inductions is 8pm (9pm if you book the pre-light service - see below). If you arrive after this time you will not be able to use your hot tub until the following day.
Wood fired hot tubs take between 2hrs - 2.5hrs to heat up. Once lit, they require topping up with fuel/logs every 30 mins until they reach the required temperature.
We offer an optional hot tub pre-lighting service - £17.50
Our pre-lighting service will light your wood fired hot tub 2hrs prior to your stated arrival time. We'll then top it up after, so that it is up to temperature for the arrival time you advise. When you arrive, we'll come and undertake a hot tub induction so you know what to do when using the hot tub and reheating it on subsequent days.
It is REALLY IMPORTANT that you provide as accurate as possible an arrival time so that the hot tub is not lit too early or too late. Once you select the hot tub pre-lighting option with your booking, we'll email you to confirm your arrival time or if you plan to head out for a meal or a walk we can arrange for the tub to be heated for later on.
You can advise us of any change to your arrival time up to 9am day on the day of arrival (sorry but we can't amend after this time).
Please note the following applies to our hot tub hire:
The camp kitchen is equipped with pots/pans, plates, dishes, glasses and cutlery - we ask that these items aren't removed from the camp kitchen so if you want to eat in or around your cabin please bring your own equipment.
