About Craighead Howfs

A choice of truly quirky accommodation in a very special rural setting, stay in a Tree House, Hobbit House, or glorious other options all designed and crafted by us, each with their own special space.

Craighead is just the right place to escape from the bustle of everyday life but if you want to visit some of Scotland's finest scenery and attractions you don’t have too far to go.
With 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside we have created very special places for you to spend time here with us. At Craighead, our home for many years, you won’t find rows of pods, shepherds huts or tents. You will find bespoke hand crafted quirky accommodation, all very different from each other and set in a space that has been developed to suit. Each of our bespoke glamping options being set in their own very unique part of the garden and grounds which becomes yours for the duration of your stay.
Over the years we have developed the grounds and encouraged wildlife, to this we have added an array of animals including our two highland cows, donkeys, goats, poultry, rhea and a variety of sheep.
Lose yourself in the countryside and listen to the sounds, watch the birds and in the evening enjoy our wide open and dark skies which treat you to a wonderful display of stars.
Choose between the magnificent Ash Tree Howf or Wee Tree Howf or the tumbling down Whisky Howf nestled on the side of the lochan or venture down to the shire and enjoy either the Red or Green Door Burrow perfect for a wizard after an arduous journey
For a real garden feel you can choose the Summer Howf which sits right in amongst the trees and plants.
All have a wood burning stove for the chillier nights, a fire pit for those lovely long evenings watching the sunset or the stars. Each has its own facilities and we of course provide you with all the bedding and towels you will need.
We love to meet our guests and have a chat, we can help with ideas for walks and days out too, or can simply update you on life at Craighead or the wildlife and animals that you will see during your time with us. If you have forgotten anything you might find it in our wee honesty shop!
We look forward to w
