Alternative Eco-Cabins
Our Cabins are the next generation of tourist accommodation in Scotland.
Gone are the days of carbon-churning hotels, dusty B&Bs, and basic glamping pods.
We think of our unique Cabin concept as being at a crossroads where quirky interior design and smart-home tech meets eco-consciousness in a stunning island setting, creating an unforgettable travel experience.
We’re launching in Spring 2022.
FAQs

We are two cousins with a shared passion for adventure, quirky stays, and the environment. We believe in challenging the norm; in doing things a bit differently.

Our Journey So Far…
From the beginning, we wanted to bring you on our exciting journey with us. That’s why we’re taking our cameras and capturing every step of the way.

Proudly Climate Positive
Through partnering with Ecologi, we’ll have 10 trees planted for every booking made at Jack’s. Here’s our impact so far:
