About this property

Unique Norwegian cabin perched above the River Findhorn with a stunning view

This unique Norwegian cabin built in the 1890’s and served as a painting studio for the Earl of Leven at that time who was an amateur water colourist and photographer. It is perched above the Findhorn with breath - taking views across the river to the Dunearn moors. It's the perfect romantic hideaway or retreat.

It is 200m from Glenferness House shielded from view by rhododendrons. There is a canopied double bed and a hammock to relax in. There is a shower-room. There is electric heating. Hidden in the cupboard you will find a fridge and microwave and washing-up bowl as there is no kitchen sink. There is also a table-top cooker, toaster and kettle. There is no WiFi nor television reception at The Studio but there is a television that can play DVDs and there is also a CD player.

In The Studio, our designated method for dishwashing entails filling the washbasin within the shower area. Subsequently, the washing process is carried out externally, and upon completion, used water is disposed of responsibly outside, with the option to pour it down the bank.

An Incredible life Detox and Reconnection to Nature

My stay at the Unique Norwegian cabin perched above the River Findhorn was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the cabin's stunning location and breathtaking views across the river to the Dunearn moors. The cabin itself was beautifully presented. It was simple and yet had all the essentials and met all my needs. What really made this stay special, however, was the incredible connection to nature. Surrounded by stunning forest and private grounds, I felt a true sense of peace and tranquility. The lack of distractions allowed me to truly detox and reconnect with myself. I spent hours exploring the nearby walks and trails, taking in the breathtaking scenery. The hosts, Alex and the team, were incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my stay. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and made my experience truly memorable. If you're looking for a peaceful, and restorative getaway, this is the perfect place. I'm already planning my next trip back to this little slice of heaven.

Excellent, quiet location. Beautiful cabin.

Lovely, stylish, well presented cabin, with all the amenities that you need. Simple cooking facilities. Great walks in the area on private grounds so total peace and quiet. Stunning views for the cabin and for sitting outside by the fire pit, with plenty of logs and firewood provided. We will be booking again.
