About this property

The Boathouse - lochside off grid bothy that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom with amazing views and h

Step inside our off grid Boathouse Bothy with spa pool, in this spectacularly remote part of the Scottish Highlands and prepare to reconnect with the wilder world as you're swept away by the sheer beauty of the landscape and the tastefully decorated interior, complete with private fishing loch and boat.

The Boathouse is a luxurious one bedroom bothy (king or twin) set in a spectacularly remote part of the Scottish Highlands. Located on the shores of Loch na Beinne Moire, on the Guisachan Estate, high above the conservation village of Tomich, the property boasts uninterrupted views of the rugged landscape and all the wildlife it has to offer. The Boathouse is totally off grid with a wind turbine and solar panels supplying electricity to the property's appliances – fridge, lighting, shower, sockets. The modern, odourless, composting toilet completes the properties eco friendly, back to nature credentials with its easy to use instructions. Relax in the wood burning spa pool and as you disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with your wild side

As you experience the breathtaking landscape of this loch side property with private hot tub, fishing and rowing boat, you can't help but unwind and completely relax as you soak up the rugged landscape. A haven of tranquility from dawn to dusk, with dark skies guaranteed, this off grid property has everything to make your stay truly amazing - the views, the loch (complete with pontoon, private fishing and boat), the wood burning stove for cooking and heating, the decking for wildlife watching, even the composting toilet!

Stunning location
A real treat to stay here. Glorious location and luxurious accommodation. Use of the Landrover was an added bonus, it was really fun driving it. Fired up the hot tub a couple of times and had a little go in the boat, but not great at rowing .

Total Relaxation
We had a lovely stay. It is totally off grid so be prepared to switch off from the world completely. I was not quite prepared for being so far away so did have to go and search for further provisions which was not an issue. The use of the 4x4 was much appreciated.

Boathouse Hideaway
We absolutely loved our week trip to the boathouse. It was truly a luxury escape from everything. The views from the cabin were breath taking and the lack of wifi and phone signal really helped us to disconnect which was exactly what we were looking for. Everything being wood heated was something to plan our days around but there was nothing better than sitting out watching the stars from the wood fired tub. The team at Tomich Holidays were fantastic, they were super helpful not only with water and fire wood but also their knowledge of the local area and the best places to explore. We would 100% recommend the boathouse and will hopefully be back again in the future!

Wow, what a stunning holiday
If you are looking for a unique holiday destination away from the rigours and stress of modern life then I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The whole experience of being provided with a 4 by 4 to get to the boat house, lighting the wood burner to provide all our heat and cooking and being removed from wifi etc. was incredibly refreshing. The added bonus of being able to mill about on our own loch in the rowing boat and relax in the hot tub under the stars in complete and utter privacy really topped it off. Tommich was also a great location for accessing some of the most stunning parts of the highlands, including the beautiful Glen Affric and the stunning Plodda falls. However even if we hadn't been to these places the boat house with its views of the mountains and its loch would have provided us with all the scenery we needed. It is certainly a holiday we will never forget and never tire of eulogising about to friends and family and would encourage anyone to go and experience the boathouse which is not just a property but an immersive experience.

Relaxing stay
Lovely house in lovely location. Would have been very happy to stay longer ! The highlight was being in the hot tub in the rain under a perfect rainbow.
