Red Squirrel Cabin
Introduction
Red Squirrel Cabin welcomes you to a gentle corner of the Highlands, a place where the stillness of the loch and the whisper of woodland paths set the tone for every stay. Designed as a couples’ retreat, this cottage offers warmth and comfort with a well-equipped kitchen, cozy living spaces, and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding bath and rain shower. Outside, you can walk to the village pub, launch a kayak on calm waters, or watch seals from the shore. The cabin sits within a private estate yet feels connected to the rhythms of the surrounding glens and sea lochs. Days here might begin with coffee watching morning light on the hills and end with wine beside the wood burner. Whether you come to explore nearby trails or simply to unwind together, Red Squirrel Cabin promises a genuine Highland stay with quiet charm and easy hospitality.
