Introducing Little Getaway, a brand-new luxury and private cabin that sleeps two in either a super king bed or twin beds. (After booking is made I will contact you for your preference) In Little Getaway you will find a kitchen area equipped with everything you need including a little dishwasher. There is a coffee pod machine and pods will be provided as will a selection of teas and some milk in the fridge for your arrival. There is a bathroom with a large shower cabinet and rainfall shower. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all provided. All linen, towels, bathrobes and slippers are also provided for your stay. Outside there is a huge decking area with plenty of room to relax, dine or even exercise. A wood-fired sauna is located directly off the deck and all wood, kindling and firelighters will be provided. It typically takes 30-60 min to reach optimum temperature. There is a cold outside shower to cool you down. On the deck you will also find a smokeless Solo Stove firepit with wood provided for you and a small barbecue with charcoal provided. Little Getaway is set within half an acre of woodland with paths taking you on a little woodland walk to a stargazing Geodome which is also a great place to be if you want to be outside and it is raining or the midges are out! A Podpoint electric car charger has been installed for exclusive use of our guests and will be charged competitively. After a booking is made we will contact you to get details to allow you access to the charger if you need it.
Being outdoors as often as possible is something I enjoy and where better than the Highlands of Scotland! Together with my wife Lorna, we had two brilliant years building Little Getaway. For us, this project was inevitable, as we have previously planted thousands of trees and built off grid cabins with our four kids on our family croft in Caithness in the North of Scotland. Sadly, Lorna passed away suddenly in September 2025 but I intend to carry on running Little Getaway and hope it continues to be the perfect haven in the Highlands that she poured her heart and soul into.
A 5-minute walk from Little Getaway’s door is the Two Bridges Trail. A 2-mile stunning circular walk by the Blackwater River incorporating Silverbridge and Little Garve Bridge. This is an ancient trail walked in the past by soldiers and drovers (cattle herders). The walk was featured on ‘All Aboard’ hosted by Alan Cumming . The Royal Scotsman train sometimes makes a stop at Garve Station to allow its guests to enjoy this beautiful walk as part of its itinerary. Rogie Falls, although a bit busier than Little Garve Bridge is only a 5 mile drive away. Strathpeffer, 8.5 miles away, is a lovely Victorian village and spa town once popular with the wealthy for short breaks. Sadly, there is no working railway but the lovely station is still there and there is a tea room, shop and museum worth a visit as are the lovely old hotels and streetlights. Other shops, coffee shops and a deli are also in the village as well as a lovely old Pavilion which still host various events. Little Getaway in Little Garve is an excellent base to explore the Highlands. Many beautiful places are accessible in an hour or less drive such as Inverness, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Nairn, Dornoch, Gairloch, Inverewe (famous botanic gardens), Ullapool, Corrieshalloch Gorge (Scotland’s deepest) and Aviemore. In under 90 mins you can be on the Isle of Skye, Eilean Donan Castle, Applecross and Lochinver (great pies!). There is no shortage of places to go out and about and if you like hill walking. Ben Wyvis is only a 4-mile drive away with Little Wyvis walkable from the door via the Two Bridges Trail. There are a host of some of the finest Munro and Corbett mountains nearby, with the Torridon, Achnashellach, Dundonnell, Fisherfield, Fannaichs and Ullapool hills all within an hour away.
