Corran Shepherd’s Hut Corran

This is Corran Shepherd's Hut. It's basically a big, nice shed on wheels, down by the river in Corran. It's just for two people. It's got one bedroom area and a small bathroom with a shower.

The main thing is the view. You look out over the river to Loch Hourn, with big mountains all around. You get your own decking to sit out on. It's very quiet.

It's got a woodburning stove for heat. There's a kitchen area with a small oven and hob. WiFi works, but the signal is what you'd expect out here. Bedding and towels are included. There's parking right next to it.

Corran itself is tiny. For a shop or a pub, you need to drive to Glenelg. That's about half an hour along the single-track road. Glenelg has the ferry to Skye, which is the old turntable kind. It's an interesting trip.

You're right on the edge of Knoydart, which is the remote peninsula. You can sometimes see deer, otters, and if you're lucky, eagles. The local mountain, Beinn Sgritheall, is a big walk from the door if you're experienced. There are easier low-level paths along the coast.

If you want to go further, Skye is the obvious day out, either by the Glenelg ferry or driving via the bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh. Eilean Donan Castle is on that route. It's about an hour's drive to get back to the main A87 road, so you do feel properly away from things.

It's rated 4 Star. It's comfortable and well-finished, but it is a shepherd's hut. The space is clever but compact.
