Overlooking Loch Riddon on the wild Argyll coast, Loch Riddon Bothy offers stunning, contemporary accommodation in which to escape the hustle and bustle - to press the ‘pause button’ on modern life.

The exterior of the Bothy belies a cosy, rustic interior. Large windows fill the space with light, and the larch-clad terrace looks out over the ever changing loch to the mountains beyond.

The unique bothy is available for bookings throughout the year.

Discover the Bothy

Filled with local creations

The Bothy is small but carefully designed and heated with a cosy wood burning stove ready for you to light on arrival. Inside the bothy is filled with creations by some of the region’s most interesting artisans.

The miniature kitchen is stocked with regional recipe books and is made by hand from upcycled whisky staves.

A green escape.

We have always tried to live with a quiet footprint both at home and in our 2 acre garden. We grow food, we nurture wildlife, we compost, and we plant native species. 

In 2024, we were awarded a Green Tourism Bronze award, and since then we have been working hard on the areas highlighted to show our committment to sustainable practices.

So, we are thrilled to have been given a Green Tourism Gold Award. It comes with a detailed report on what we are doing well and offers suggestions for further improvement. We will be working on these areas over the next year.

Our Sustainability Practices
  • The Bothy is perfection! All the small touches were so thoughtful and made for a delightful short getaway – we’ve already decided to come back again this summer!

    Josephine and Toby - March 2025

  • Idyllic stay in an idyllic location. Its hard to beat reading a good book in front of the stove with such a stunning backdrop. The Bothy is absolutely gorgeous and very tastefully decorated – we are checking out now and heading straight to the Hayshed Gallery to try to find some similar pieces.

    Alick and Lesley - April 2025

  • We have had a fabulous Easter long weekend staying at the Bothy. Everything was just perfect and so well thought out. We had everything we needed and loved all the pieces by local makers. It was lovely sitting by the woodburner just relaxing and we managed to use the outside firepit one night too.

    Gillian and Mike - Easter 2025

  • Arrived to a cosy lit stove and a welcome from the songbirds and a woodpecker. Loch Riddon Bothy was the perfect place to begin 2025. Beautiful sunny days and a new moon and Venus bright each night. The stars!

    Allison and Simon, January 2025

  • Wow!  Such a special place!  Owls, stars, firepit and the beautiful, cosy Bothy.  We’ll be back soon.

    Lorna and Daniel - November 2025

  • We had an incredible time spending our first New Year at the Bothy.

    Andrea and Fred - January 2026

‘Could not think of a more perfect place to celebrate our tenth anniversary!
