Welcome to Batbox (at Lazybed Accommodation) cabin by the sea.
A beautiful, bespoke, eco-style, one bedroom, self-contained, tiny house for up to 2 people in Inverkirkaig near Lochinver. A haven for nature lovers. Surrounded by stunning scenery with sea and mountain views. Off the beaten track, equally perfect for touring the Highlands.
We have 2 unique cabins, Batbox and Lazybed both privately situated on our 3 acre croft.
See details on Wi-Fi access under the heading ‘Other things to note’.

The space
Similar to Lazybed cabin in concept, the Batbox is a high specification studio space with an interior of 26sqm / 280sqft plus a generous sized covered deck, built by North Woods Construction utilising 100% renewable Scottish timber. The high sloping roof and wonderful bright aspect create a roomy, luxurious space. Positioned higher up and further back on the croft with 2 metre high windows facing SSW, the cabin and deck area offer a fantastic panoramic view of Cul Mor and across Inverkirkaig’s tranquil sea loch and the wonderfully remote peninsular of Rubha na Breige. Sheep’s wool insulates the property throughout whilst hot water is powered by a mini, Norwegian-manufactured, boiler system. The main room has a Morso Squirrel wood-burning stove keeping the cabin lovely and warm for those occasions when the weather turns inclement. The accommodation consists of a lounge / well equipped mini kitchen, a separate cosy double bedroom, a wet room with toilet and wash hand basin.

The complimentary welcome pack includes a bottle of good wine (or non-alcoholic drink), a delicious treat and porridge oats. Also included in the cost are day to day essentials such as tea including herbal, fresh ground coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, all this should last a couple of days. Staying for 4 nights or more? David will bake you an organic loaf of bread and provide some local jam, at your request.

Wi-Fi is available on site. See details under the heading ‘Other details to note’.

We also provide a basket of 'super-dry' logs (extra baskets are for sale).

Why the name 'Batbox'?
Well apart from our love for Common Pipistrelle Bats (and our gratitude they enjoy the odd midge for dinner!) the new cabin's shape and its overhanging roof has more than a passing resemblance to (you've guessed it) a bat box! On summer evenings you may well see the local bats sweep back and forth in front of the cabin or hear the Tawny Owls that call Inverkirkaig their home. There are boxes hidden in the adjacent trees.

Guest access
The Batbox is privately located on the east side of our bungalow and about 65 metres from Lazybed and the car park, with wonderful views to Cul Mor and across Inverkirkaig Bay. Access is via an short undulating footpath through private woods and garden.

Other things to note
Wi-Fi is available on site. There is a signal on the Batbox path and in the car park, not in the cabin. Wi-Fi reaches inside Lazybed cabin.

Electric vehicle charge point on site.

We provide a clothes washing service (as there is no washing machine in the cabin) this means one of us will wash your laundry (please limit to 1 load) for a small fee. We do not have a dryer, so allow 24 hours (approximately) for clothes to dry naturally.

There is no TV reception, but there is a flat screen television with DVD player and an eclectic library of films to choose from.
