Did you know all of our bothies are completely dog-friendly? 🐾

That means no need to leave your four-legged best friend behind on your next Scottish escape. From long countryside walks and woodland trails to adventures along the shores of Loch Ken, there’s plenty for curious paws (and their humans) to explore 🌿

Spend your days wandering through beautiful scenery, stopping for waterside breaks, and returning to your cosy bothy for a well-earned rest by the fire. After all, holidays are even better when the whole family comes along 🐶✨

So pack the lead, the treats, and your walking boots - your dog-friendly staycation is waiting.

From dusk to dawn at Loch Ken 🌛

The light coming across the loch into the bothies is one of our favourite things about being here. Early mornings feel calm and quiet, and in the evenings everything turns soft and golden. 💛

Did you know Dumfries & Galloway is one of the best places in Europe for stargazing? ✨

As a designated Dark Sky region, the area enjoys incredibly low light pollution, meaning on a clear night you can witness thousands of stars, bright planets, and even the Milky Way stretching across the sky above you 🌌

And the best part? You can soak it all in from the comfort of your luxury wood-fired hot tub 🛁🔥

Cosy nights, clear skies, and unforgettable views await on your next Scottish escape.

There’s no better way to experience Loch Ken than from the water ✨

Paddleboarding and kayaking are always a highlight for our guests, offering a peaceful way to explore the loch’s calm, sheltered waters - perfect for both first-timers and seasoned adventurers alike. Glide across the surface, soak up the stunning scenery, and keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife you might otherwise miss from the shore 🦢

Even better? Each of our four bothies comes with its own kayak ready and waiting for you, and our biggest bothy, The Osprey, comes with paddleboards too.

All that’s left to do is book your escape and start your Scottish adventure 🚣‍♀️

It's hard to get bored of this view 😍

The perfect spot to take a break, relax, and breathe in nature 💚

Watch red kites glide over Loch Ken and listen to robins, goldcrests and song thrushes sing their morning melodies as you pour yourself a coffee 🕊️
