“Just stayed for a long weekend and could have cried when leaving. The most beautiful and wildlife rich place I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit. Cabin was beautiful and every detail taken care of. … Have had some amazing trips around the world but would move there in a heartbeat.” Emma Jane Murray, Google, June 2026.
The popular Bamff Hideaway, is within yards of the Bamff beavers. Watch them from the path below or even, sometimes, from the window.
As seen on BBC Countryfile, The Hideaway is situated on a lovely woodland footpath on the Cateran trail, overlooking two beaver ponds and one beaver dam. It is a little bit like a wildlife watching hide, but it is also a romantic off-grid glamping hut of great charm. With such proximity to the beavers habitat at the front and woods with red squirrels, roe deer and many birds close by, the Hideaway is ideal for lovers of quiet places and wildlife. We ask our guests to be especially quiet around the pools from 7 pm when beavers and beaver watchers are about.
The storms of winter 2021/22 (Arwen and Eunice) blew through the wood behind creating a clearing behind the hideaway that is now regenerating naturally. We are excited to see foxgloves, ferns, wild raspberries, birch and beech recolonise the area. This is part of the Wildland area and pigs, cattle and ponies have access along with roe deer and will contribute to the process of regeneration.
Inside the Hideaway is a four poster bed, built from beaver cut wood, a wood burning stove, two armchairs and a coffee table as well as a tiny table to eat at. There is also a table where you can boil a kettle or cook something up on a 2 ring camping gas stove.
The Hideaway usually has its own off-grid shower but it is decommissioned at times in the winter as it is susceptible to hard frosts. At these times you may use the shower next to the honesty shop at the big house. There is also a composting toilet in the woods behind. Fairy lights and lamps, a USB point to recharge your phone, and the shower are powered by a solar panel on the roof and a car battery ensures electricity all year round (with modest use!). Water for the shower is supplied from a rain water barrel from the roof.
A z-bed can be made up on request for a small extra charge (or used with own bedding free). There is also a hammock which might be an option for a child.
The Hideaway is fully equipped with bed linen, towels, pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, and candles. An initial basket of firewood is supplied. Extra firewood is for sale in the honesty shop.
Hideaway guests may make use of the Honesty shop if needed for wifi, electricity etc.
If you are not arriving on foot or by bike you can park your car nearby.
