Migdale Heights
Secluded Cabins with Hot Tubs in the Scottish Highlands
Two luxury cabins overlooking Loch Migdale, where panoramic Highland views, private hot tubs and some of Scotland’s darkest skies create unforgettable escapes for two.
High above Loch Migdale, where rolling Highland hills, ancient woodland and wide open skies stretch as far as the eye can see, Migdale Heights offers the chance to leave everyday life behind. Home to two beautifully positioned cabins, Heather and Thistle, it’s a place where the pace slows, the air feels fresher and time is measured by sunrises, sunsets and star-filled nights.
Days are shaped by the landscape rather than the clock. Wander through nearby forests, paddle across the calm waters of the loch or simply settle into your private hot tub and watch the changing light transform the scenery around you. As darkness falls, some of Scotland’s clearest skies reveal countless stars, while the lucky few may even witness the Aurora Borealis dancing across the horizon.
Sleeping two guests and welcoming up to two dogs, each cabin offers a peaceful base for exploring the northern Highlands, while providing all the comfort you need to slow down, switch off and embrace the stillness of this remarkable corner of Scotland.
