Liked: Darren and Caroline were excellent hosts. Place was beautiful with views over the fell. Very quiet and peaceful. Great location for all the sites and attractions in the northernmost highlands. Basic facilities but we’re most adequate. Will definitely return some day.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Very remote location which was perfect! The owner, Darren, was incredibly welcoming! When our sat nav didn’t take us to the correct location, Darren text us the “what 3 words” phrase and lead us right there! Beautiful scenery. Toilets and shower was spotless!

Peaceful Retreat shepherd's hut
Liked: Great quiet location (clear night - great stars) very helpful and lovely owners. Stayed in the Shepherds Hut - great break from our tent. Snug and comfy retreat from the wind ! - separate clean bathroom facilities with a hot shower! And a little area with a table and chairs and phone charging ports. Loved it
