The Boathouse - an off grid bothy that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Step inside our off grid Boathouse Bothy with spa pool, in this spectacularly remote part of the Scottish Highlands and prepare to reconnect with the wilder world as you're swept away by the sheer beauty of the landscape and the tastefully decorated interior, complete with private fishing loch and boat.

The Boathouse is a luxurious one bedroom bothy (king or twin) set in a spectacularly remote part of the Scottish Highlands. Located on the shores of Loch na Beinne Moire, on the Guisachan Estate, high above the conservation village of Tomich, the property boasts uninterrupted views of the rugged landscape and all the wildlife it has to offer. The Boathouse is totally off grid with a wind turbine and solar panels supplying electricity to the property's appliances – fridge, lighting, shower, sockets - no hairdryer though!. The modern, odourless, composting toilet completes the properties eco friendly, back to nature credentials with its easy to use instructions. Relax in the wood burning spa pool and as you disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with your wild side

As you experience the breathtaking landscape of this loch side property with private hot tub, fishing and rowing boat, you can't help but unwind and completely relax as you soak up the rugged landscape. A haven of tranquility from dawn to dusk, with dark skies guaranteed, this off grid property has everything to make your stay truly amazing - the views, the loch (complete with pontoon, private fishing and boat), the wood burning stove for cooking and heating, the decking for wildlife watching, even the composting toilet!
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a fireplace and a coffee maker.

Wonderful property and great location! Host was easy to work with and very responsive. It is very remote but that’s what we were looking for. Just come prepared to stay and unplug/unwind from everything. The boathouse
