aT THE END OF THE TRACK…

Borradill Cottage is a romantic bolt-hole that sleeps 4. To the west lies a small birch glade, the herons’ favourite pond and a fire pit with views of the loch and nothing else in sight. Inside, the timber panelling, log fire and cosy bedrooms make this the perfect wilderness retreat.

CONNECTIVITY

Borradill is a wild location but benefits from super-fast broadband and mobile phone signal for most UK providers. The nearest shop is a 15min drive away so it is best to come prepared with provisions.

LINEN

Organic linen and towels from Soak and Sleep are laundered in Ecover non-bio. There are also beach towels and dog towels.

SUPPLIES

There are a few kitchen basics provided including bin bags, Ecover washing up liquid, Ecover dishwasher and laundry tablets, tea, coffee and olive oil. We supply Highland Soap Company organic hand wash and body wash in the bathrooms.

KIDS & DOGS

We welcome families and have a secret kids’ den area, but we must highlight that children should be supervised.

We have high chairs suitable for babies/toddlers.

We have washing stations for dogs, dog bowls and dog towels. We do charge a £50 fee per dog guest.

FOOTPRINT

Borradill is an eco project through and through. All paints used in the Cottage and House are natural and free from VOCs, all of the timber is from sustainable sources and much of the furniture is re-used or from sustainable brands.

Solar panels and extensive insulation make the properties as energy-efficient as possible. The long term management of the surrounding woodland is an effort to remove all non-native species and allow the indigenous Atlantic rainforest to thrive.

25 ACRES OF WOODLAND TO EXPLORE

Unplanned adventure from the door awaits. Footpaths weave through the woodland taking you to your firepit, to the hidden kids’ den, and past ponds and streams. The lower woodland is a tall, dark larch wood with deep shadows, moss-covered ground with smatterings of wood sorrel, chanterelles and countless other mysterious funghi and flora. The paths higher up take you through a mixed woodland of birch, gorse and oak, qwith lots of birds in spring and views out west to the Atlantic and Mull. One of the highest points is given over to the kids’ den area. With ponds, streams and rock faces we have lots of interesting visitors including otters, frogs, herons and owls. The gate at the end of the furthest north path leads directly out onto the moor, the ancient oaks and waterfalls.

Four seasons of inspiration, adventure, renewal and rest.
