Cosy Caravan in Roshven

1 unit · Glamping1 acres · Scotland

This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time. A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you. The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet. This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway. Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again! Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up. From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable. A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

Beach and dog-friendly campsites in Falls of Glomach guide

Overview

One of Britain’s most spectacular and isolated waterfalls, the Falls of Glomach plunge 370 feet (113 metres) from a steep, narrow cleft in a remote part of the Scottish Highlands. Accessible only by a 12-mile hike through spectacular Highland landscapes of mountains, open valleys and woods, getting here is part of the adventure. Along the way, you may spot such wildlife as golden eagles, red deer and feral goats. The crystal clear waters of the falls are often shrouded in mist, befitting its Gaelic name glòmach, which means “hazy.”

When to go

Tackling the challenging hike to the Falls of Glomach requires good weather. For this reason, you’d be best planning for a summer visit as that promises the most agreeable weather conditions, as well as long daylight hours. Bear in mind, however, that even at the height of summer, the weather can change quickly in the Highlands and when it turns, even though the trail is fairly easy to follow, visibility can be difficult.

Know before you go

The hike to the Falls of Glomach begins at Morvich Car Park.
Proper gear is a must; be sure to wear sturdy hiking boots and waterproofs and carry an OS map and compass.
There’s no phone reception for most of the way: let someone know your plans before setting out.
