The location is wonderfully secluded, and picturesque. It's right on the banks of the Loch and some distance from the road. It feels remote and private. It doesn't have electricity but does have a good water supply for washing, including hot water...

Fantastic location , everything was very well done, some lovely touches , very cosy and comfortable. Everything you would need. Idyllic surroundings and so peaceful and quiet. Also from messages with the host they came across very polite and helpful.

Enjoy the evening sun from the decking or loch side, with wildlife to spot - herons, wild ducks, deer, hedgehogs, red squirrels, owls, otters (dawn & dusk if you’re lucky!) and red kites to name a few. Inside, our pot belly stove not only keeps you snug but can be used for cooking -use the top as a hot plate for making that perfect cup of coffee. For warmer days there is an outdoor fire pit beside the hut or light the one down at the water's edge. As the nights draw light the stove, close the shutters, turn on the LED lamps and climb into the super comfy king-sized bed (with mattress topper and crisp white bed linen). In the mornings enjoy a lie-in, read or take in the views of the loch and all its wildlife without ever having to get out of bed! There is hot and cold running water, small Belfast sink (water pumped to the hut and shower using energy from a solar panel) chairs, table, enamel crockery and all your essential cooking utensils provided inside the hut.
I love sharing the beauty and tranquillity that can be found in our Scottish location .
*(also check out our HIDDEN HUT for 3 per) The Secret Hut is dog friendly . Our huts are bespoke ‘off grid’ Shepherds huts located in idyllic surroundings on the banks of unspoilt Loch Ken, SW Scotland Enjoy the simple pleasures of slow living in our eco-friendly huts, and spend the evening watching the sunset over the loch from the deck or outdoor fire pit at the very edge of the loch. A romantic getaway or rural escape, in a beautiful secluded spot where you can star gaze under our dark sky
