The details
Tucked away amongst the forests of Scotland's beautiful Cowal Peninsula, these thoughtfully designed cabins offer couples the chance to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature. Surrounded by birdsong, towering trees and miles of peaceful woodland trails, this is a wonderfully tranquil retreat where contemporary comfort meets sustainable living. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee on the covered deck, curling up with a good book by the window or setting off to explore the surrounding hills, every stay here encourages a gentler pace of life.
Inside, each beautifully crafted cabin has been designed to make the most of its woodland setting, with large windows framing leafy views and filling the living space with natural light. The spacious open-plan living area features a comfortable sofa, a dining table for leisurely meals and a cosy window seat, while the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for relaxed self-catering, including induction hobs, an oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
The flexible bedroom can be arranged with either a king size bed or twin beds, allowing the cabin to suit different styles of stay. A contemporary bathroom offers a generous walk-in shower, with towels, soaps and shower gel provided, while a separate cloakroom is ideal for storing muddy boots and outdoor clothing after a day spent outdoors. Outside, the covered deck is the perfect place for alfresco dining or simply soaking up the peace of the surrounding woodland. Guests travelling with a four-legged companion will be pleased to know that the Douglas Fir Cabin is dog friendly.
What truly sets a stay here apart is the chance to become part of Loskin Wood itself. Every booking includes access to the woodland programme, a series of seasonal experiences designed to help guests connect more deeply with the landscape. Depending on the time of year, you might plant a tree as part of the woodland's ongoing regeneration, enjoy a delicious open-fire lunch cooked using traditional techniques, try your hand at woodland crafts while listening to Scottish folklore or join a guided walk exploring the area's wildlife, biodiversity and fascinating history. The programme evolves with the seasons, making every visit a little different, and every experience is included in your stay.
Sustainability sits at the heart of everything here. Built entirely from Scottish timber, the cabins operate on a 100% renewable electricity tariff and feature natural, locally sourced and recycled furnishings wherever possible. The owners also minimise single-use plastics, use environmentally friendly cleaning products and continue to nurture Loskin Wood as a thriving habitat for wildlife and a place for people to reconnect with nature.
From your doorstep you'll have access to more than 50 miles of walking and cycling trails weaving through forests, hills and lochside scenery. Nearby highlights include Benmore Botanic Garden, Kilmun Arboretum and Benmore Forest, while Dunoon offers independent shops, restaurants, a cinema, swimming pool and golf course. Venture further to discover Ardentinny Beach, enjoy a memorable meal at Michelin Green Star restaurant Inver or take to the water with boat trips, scuba diving and bespoke guided adventures on Loch Eck.
