Birkenshaw - Beautiful Shepherd’s Hut in the Highlands.

Beautiful location , lovely hut and very eco!

Location was excellent, peaceful, sensational views, loved the bird life and wood fire.

Description was misleading. Muddy paths connected the sunroom to the hut. There is no private bathroom, shower facilities comprise rudimentary outdoor (cold water) shower set up in vege patch without protection from elements and toilet is a compost toilet. Both of these fixtures are several metres from hut, a bit daunting to find in darkness. Additional toilet is a chamber pot under the bed. Sunroom kitchen area very chilly. Probably would have been happy for one night for the experience.

Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful scenery. The shepherd's hut was quirky and peaceful. Anna, our hoist, greeted us . Nice little welcome gift ,which went down a treat . Friendly wild life and Frank the Rooster 🐓 with his little lady friends chicken 🐔. Sleep so well in this peaceful part of the countryside. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved the off-grid living for the night. The wood burning fire to warm the cabin was exceptional. We had a lovely stay

Location was amazing and host was informative

Word to the wise - we missed this information but the loo and shower are outside - a great experience but unexpected.

This was one of the best experiences of our trip! The setting was picture perfect, the bed was almost too comfy and the aesthetic and feel of staying in the Birkenshaw was 10/10!

What a wonderful place to stay, this was definitely the best accommodation we stayed at after 9 days of Scotland. We enjoyed the view, the cosiness and atmosphere, and the great hospitality. Anne was an amazing host, she was willing to check for us our self-picked Chantarelles from the afternoon and shared with us some herbs and veggies from her garden to complete our dinner cooking. The sunroom was gorgeous with solid cooking facilities. Everything was very authentic. Cast-iron pots and pans, firewood heater, selfmade tea towels. Most of all the attention of detail really finished off the experience. The hut was beautifully made and Anne arranged complimentary self made biscuits, local gin and tonic, marshmallows for roasting over the firewood heater, not even to start about the ornamental attention to detail. Even the selection of books were perfectly fitting with the setting. Would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.
