The Roundhouse
We think our roundhouse is pretty special and we hope you agree. More of a work of art than a cabin, it was built with love out of of locally-felled larch with limewashed hempcrete walls, spruce cladding, recycled maple floors and a hairy turf roof. It has spectacular views of Loch Craignish and the village below, and on clear days you can see the peak of Ben Cruachan to the north. It has its own avenue of massive 200-year-old beech trees to the south.
The main circular living/dining room is large and high-ceilinged and is lit from above by a central dome. Everything has been crafted to fit, with a cosy woodstove, comfortable seats, a dining table and an extensive kitchen counter with large Belfast sink, fridge/freezer, electric oven and gas hob built into a work surface of local beech wood. The views of the loch and hills from the sink and the hob are hard to beat.
The roundhouse sleeps four. In a room at the back there is a king-sized double bed and there is an adjoining bunkroom with two single rustic bunk beds built from tree trunks. Off the main room there is a charming bathroom with a composting toilet, a hand basin and a shower. If you feel like cooking outside there is a large fire pit, comfortable outdoor seats and a picnic table and all the barbecue equipment you could possibly need. We supply firewood, towels, bedding, eco-soaps & cleaning products, crockery, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans and a kettle and toaster. For dogs, we provide a treat, two bowls, and a towel.
For inside entertainment, there are Bluetooth speakers, and a selection of books, games, and jigsaw puzzles. There is no wi-fi, but you can get an excellent 4G signal. Outside, we have sets of boules, and a selection of ancient golf clubs with a bucket of golf balls for pitching practice under the beech trees.
The roundhouse is the perfect spot for exploring the area by car, by bike or on foot. The peninsula is full of wonderful walks, particularly along the coast where you may be lucky enough to see otters.
There is wildlife all around. Owls live in the beech trees and you will hear them hunting at night. You will see pipistrelle bats fluttering in and out of the trees as the sun goes down. You are very likely to spot roe deer grazing if you are up early enough, there are loads of buzzards and if you’re lucky you might even see an osprey or a sea eagle hovering above.
The roundhouse has been designed and built with care and love to fit with nature. Power comes from a solar array further down the hill. We hope you can experience the magic of the place and enjoy a dram or a hot chocolate by the fire while watching the stars come out over the loch.
