From the location, the view of the coast at sunset was breathtaking! There is a comfortable wicker bench where you can sit and enjoy the sunset. The unit is well equipped with battery-powered lighting and a wood stove to overcome not having AC power. The wagon offers a comfortable form of camping akin to staying in a cabin at a campground, but with the charm of being in an antique crofter wagon in a scenic and rustic location. In spite of its remote location, there is cellular service; however, we needed to reboot our phones in order to switch from the O2 to the EE network, since it did not automatically switch, and initially it seemed as though we had no cellular service there.

The wagon sits in a SSSI field over looking the stunning Oldshoremore beach , If you love adventure, being cut off from the rest of the world, and you don’t mind washing your body in the ocean or the stream, then the Eco Crofter’s Wagon is for you. You’ll go back to basics, and be completely “ off grid”. No electricity, no running water and no internet or phone! The wagon is warm, with the little wood burning stove and quality bedding. There’s a compost toilet in a hut outside the wagon in the field, and there’s a fire pit in the field overlooking the ocean. There’s basic cooking facilities, including pots and pans, plates and cutlery and a small easy to use gas camping stove. You may see highland cows, stags, eagles, Canadian geese or badgers during your stay. The beach is often completely empty, and is often known as being one of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland. It is only a few minutes walk from the wagon. Parking is only available in the beach car park at the bottom of the road. There are public toilets there, and in Kinlochbervie 2 miles away, you’ll find a warm shower in the Harbour Office building. ( see photos for shower info)
Hello and welcome 😊 my name is Jennie and I am your host. I endeavour to offer you a warm and comfortable stay her at the Eco wagon, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or requests for your stay and I will help in any way I can. Jennie
The land is a protected wild habitat, full of wild flowers and different orchids. It also is home to the endangered Great Yellow Bumblebee. Viking King Hako once lived on this land! This is a typical rural highland Crofting hamlet. You are sure to witness both some modern and traditional Crofting practises whilst you are here. There’s an outstandingly beautiful beach at Oldshoremore, where it’s said the Vikings used to turn their boats. The rocks around are the oldest on this planet. The “Machair” habitat is rare and unique. There are rare orchids growing in the field around you and the endangered Great Yellow Bumblebee lives here too. The walk to Sandwood Bay is only a few miles along the road. Again, this is another beautiful beach, and can only be accessed on foot ( 4 mile walk- takes Aprox 2 hours) Smoo Cave is in Durness, and is a 40 minute drive away. Handa Island is a 20 minute drive away, where you can then access the island via a speedboat/ferry, which is bookable in advance. It’s an uninhabited island where Puffins live. It’s common to see sheep and Highlands cows wandering up the road here in Oldshoremore.There are also donkeys and Alpacas nearby.
