Tucked away in a calm section of its own woodland on the edge of Cambo Estate, this modern bothy is a perfect retreat for those who love nature but don’t want to compromise on comfort. Imagine stepping into your own part of a woodland clearing, where a charming off-grid bothy sits nestled among towering trees. The air carries the fresh scent of pine and sea salt, hinting at the nearby coastline.
The Bothy itself is a modern yet rustic retreat, its large windows framing the landscape beyond - rolling fields stretching towards the horizon.
As you step inside, warm timber interiors wrap around you, creating a cosy Scandi-style space. The open-plan space is simple but thoughtfully designed, with soft furnishings that invite you to sink in and unwind. Sunlight streams through the windows during the day, while in the evening the glow of a wood-burning stove casts flickering shadows across the warm wooden walls.
The bed nooks are built into the walls like secret hideaways offering a snug retreat, each with a woodland-framed window that lets you wake up to birdsong and dappled morning light. The kitchen area is compact but practical, with everything you need to cook up a meal whether inside or dining alfresco. Stepping outside, a large tipi with a crackling fire pit sits among the trees, draped with fairy lights that twinkle as dusk settles. A wooden picnic table stands nearby, perfect for morning coffee surrounded by birdsong or a late-night glass of wine under the stars. A hammock sways lazily between two trees, inviting you to pause and breathe or dive into the pages of a good book within the peace of this retreat.
Sleeping up to four guests, The Bothy features two private double bed nooks, each adorned with organic linens and their own woodland window. Despite its compact size, the space is cleverly designed with a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious shower room, and an open-plan living area centred around a wood-burning stove. Fully solar-powered, it provides modern comforts such as lighting and charging ports while maintaining an eco-friendly approach.
Indoors, a two-ring gas hob and wood-burning stove allow for easy meal preparation. Outdoors, you’ll find a gas BBQ and a large firepit inside a 7m tipi, perfect for cooking under the stars. The picnic bench and hammock offer the ultimate al fresco dining experience.
Just a short stroll away, Cambo Sands (Kingsbarns Beach) awaits - a wide, dog-friendly stretch of golden sand dunes and rock pools perfect for exploring. The flat, open paths provide easy beach access, making it simple to navigate while keeping an eye out for other walkers. Despite its popularity, the area maintains a secluded feel, with early mornings and sunset strolls offering peaceful solitude. While dogs should remain on a lead near The Bothy due to the surrounding open farmland, the beach provides ample space for off-lead adventures.
Refresh in a large walk-in shower stocked with eco-friendly toiletries, and wrap yourself in the super-size towels provided for each guest. A starter supply of logs and kindling ensures a warm and inviting atmosphere by the wood-burning stove. In the tipi, fairy lights and lanterns create a cosy setting for relaxing evenings. For added convenience, USB charging ports and a single 3-pin socket are available for low-power devices.
Curl up by the fire, stargaze from the tipi, or take in the coastal views, The Bothy offers a one-of-a-kind off-grid experience. A place to disconnect from the world, reconnect with nature, and create unforgettable memories.
