Highland retreat
wild and remote
You are very welcome on our Highland Croft. A secluded haven in a beautiful setting. A small township where the pace of life is slower, nature is all around you and the nearest shops are a 50 mins drive away.
Come in summer when the long evenings feel timeless, or in winter for cosy evenings by the wood-burning stove. Walking, creativity, meditating, reading a book. Explore the coastline, climb the hills and munros around you, or take in the stunning views over the Loch. Feel free to do as much or as little as you want and need.
Time with yourself is a precious experience. In this remote and special place, with optional sessions to support you, it can become an unforgettable and transformational journey, from which you will take home a greater sense of self and a newfound sense of direction in your life.
Rest and refuel
A retreat can be of any length: a few days to a week or longer.
Your home during your stay will be our cosy and comfortable self catering accommodation Bedstee (Dutch for boxbed). Bedstee's rustic character will give you a sense of nostalgia, warmth, and simple living, leaving behind the distractions of daily life, and inviting you to venture outdoors, or to simply enjoy the cosiness within.
As Bedstee is suited for two people (there is a queen size double bed and a futon sofa bed in the lounge), you are welcome to bring a friend or partner to share the experience, either with or without participating in the retreat programme. Bedstee is adjacent to our house, so no matter what option you choose for your stay, we are always at hand for any questions.
We offer retreat options for different needs and wishes, so choose whatever suits you best:
Retreat stay
All the time you need to recharge, rest and realign (accomodation only).
Session retreat
Daily transformational therapy sessions to reflect on what is important in your life, to heal old beliefs and patterns and to determine new directions (accomodation & sessions).
Elements Retreat
Daily transformational sessions and optional Elements if you would like a bit more guidance: moments of practice, processing, reflection and inspiration. We can create the programme in such a way that it is just right for you (accomodation, sessions & Elements of choice).

on your journey
For those unfamiliar with the area, it can be hard to imagine how remote we are, at the end of an 8-mile single track road, but a (rental) car is almost essential. You are likely to encounter sheep, cows, and deer on the road, so please take your time to get here and enjoy the beautiful drive!
The nearest village is Ullapool (50 mins drive, which has a variety of shops and restaurants. We recommend stocking up on supplies for your stay before arrival. Inverness (1.5 hrs away) is the nearest city, with Inverness Airport (INV), a train station and options for care hire. From Inverness, there is very limited bus service to Ullapool and from Ullapool to the end of our single track road.
If you do not have a car, there is the option of taking a taxi, depending on your arrival time. We can also arrange transfer to and from airport, train or busstation at an additional cost. Please let us know at the time of booking if you'd like to make use of this option.

We retreat "...not to disappear but to find another ground from which to see; a solid ground from which to step, and from which to speak again, in a different way..." David Whyte
