Beach Hideaways
OPENING 2026
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.

THE CABINS
| BAY HIDEAWAY - OPENING 2026
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 - OPENING 2026
Kittiwake
Light and open, facing the sea. Mornings begin with the sound of waves and the arc of kittiwakes over the bay.
| BAY HIDEAWAY - OPENING 2026
Oystercatcher
The most exposed outlook - the full sweep of the bay with the Inner Hebrides beyond. Bold, open and energised.
