Hideaways
The Hideaways have been designed from the ground up for those who want to be closer to the land without leaving comfort behind. Three new timber cabins sit above the bay at Lochnell, each one oriented to make the most of the water, the light and the ever-changing theatre of the estate. A new development for 2026, the Hideaways speak of now - quietly considered spaces where floor-to-ceiling glass brings the outside in, and the only agenda is the tide.
SETTING
At the western edge of Lochnell Estate, the land gives way to the sea. The Hideaways sit above this shoreline, looking out across the Lynn of Lorne to the Isle of Mull, north to the mountains of Ardnamurchan and Morvern, and down to the bay below where seals haul out on the rocks and otters work the tide line at dusk.
DESIGN
Designed by architect Marina Stassinopoulos, the three cabins are a considered response to the landscape rather than an imposition upon it. Clad in narrow vertical larch that will silver with the seasons, with insulated metal roofs and generous floor-to-ceiling glazing in black aluminium frames, they are buildings that know exactly where they are. Inside, the palette is simple — pale timber, clean lines, a wood-burning stove — so that the eye is always drawn back to the water.
EXPERIENCE
Each Hideaway is self-contained and private, with its own covered outdoor space for mornings in the rain and evenings with a drink watching the light change over the islands. The estate stretches to 1,600 acres around you — two private beaches, ancient woodland, open hillside — all of it accessible, none of it shared with anyone you haven't invited.
WILDLIFE
The bay is alive in every season. Spring brings seal pups and the haunting call of curlews across the water. Summer evenings carry ospreys and sea eagles on the thermals above the loch. In autumn the stags roar across the hillside behind the cabins. In winter, on a clear night, the northern lights have been known to appear above Mull. A stay at the Hideaways is not a retreat from the world. It is an encounter with a better version of it.
THE CABINS

Curlew
The most sheltered of the three. A timber cabin set back into the bay, where the call of the curlews carries across the water at dusk.
| BAY HIDEAWAY - JUNE 2026
Kittiwake
Light and open, facing the sea. Mornings begin with the sound of waves and the arc of kittiwakes over the bay.

Oystercatcher
The most exposed outlook - the full sweep of the bay with the Inner Hebrides beyond. Bold, open and energised.
