every single minute spent in a cabin was absolutely amazing, loved the location, stunning views, friendly host and her dog:)

Mr United Kingdom

We were lucky enough to stay at the cabin over new year, it was so relaxing. Lizzie and BoBan are very welcoming and the cabin is beautiful and so peaceful. Shoko the lab loves to play fetch! Unfortunately our dog took a dislike to Shoko so they couldn't play together. We can't wait to stay again and visit the distillery at Dunrobin when it opens!

Danielle United Kingdom

The whole cabin, interior, the wood stove :) especially the bathroom was really nice and the kitchen well equipped. Boban and Lizzie, you are super friendly hosts and we really liked Schoko :) The cabin is so we'll designed and a perfect place to take a rest for a couple of days

Maxschneider89 Germany

The view! What a location! What a place! The hosts are exceptional! Will be back, but I cannot recommend it to friends as I want to keep it all to myself 😂 Great location for people with dogs and they will get to meet choco the friendliest most playful lab ever our pups loved him.

Stevie United Kingdom

Fantastic idyllic property in perfect peaceful surroundings.. hosts were fantastic and very helpful recommending areas to visit and places to eat also. Property has everything you need should you wish

Stewart United Kingdom

The amazing view and location. lizzie and Boban couldn’t have been nicer. Shocco their dog was amazing. He believed he came with the cabin. He’d be there waiting at the door ready for his walk or just happy got you to through endless sticks.

Sue United Kingdom

Absolutely stunning peaceful location in the most beautiful forest, on a beach/estuary. Our host was warm and welcoming and the cottage was perfectly equipped and very comfortable. Loved the mini aga stove - very toasty and warm. Wish we were there for more than one night.

Heather United Kingdom

Gorgeous, spotless,comfortable and peaceful timber cabin. Very well appointed and with a view and location to die for. The owners who stay nearby can’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable and the breakfast basket is a must.

Mike United Kingdom

The cabin is located off the beaten track and in beautiful surroundings. The hosts were very attentive and helpful. The cabin itself caters for your every need and extremely comfortable. It made a great place for us and our dogs to chill out and relax. If your looking for a break away for peace and quiet, then then Birdwatchers Cabin is the ideal spot. But there is also plenty to do in the surrounding areas, and also a front row seat to sit and watch the local wildlife. We are already planning a second trip.

Ross United Kingdom

Beautifully built cabin. Loved getting up in the morning and making a fresh pot of coffee on the stove, having breakfast with a stunning view.

Host review score 10

Boban and Lizzie

A unique and cosy off grid beach line cabin nestled on the edge of Balblair woods in the Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve. Perfect for unwinding and taking in the nature all around or as a relaxing and comfortable stop over on your journey round the North Coast 500. We hope you enjoy the magic of the woods, the loch and all the creatures here.
