Here’s our story…

We’re two cousins – Daniel Jack & Adam Jack – who share a love for adventure, unique experiences, and the environment.

After staying the night in some weird and wonderful places around the world, we’ve set out to bring it home to North Ayrshire.

We’ve decided that glamping is old news, and we’re on a mission to create a unique space for an unforgettable travel experience.

Our Values

Inclusive & Accessible

Our business is open to everyone. Regardless of your age, race, gender, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or level of ability, we welcome you with open arms.

Respect Your Backyard

Leave nothing but footsteps. Always respect your surrounding environment and leave it a little better than you found it.

Eco-focussed

The environment is at the heart of every decision we make. We’re proudly on our journey to Carbon Neutrality. Here’s our Climate Action Plan.

Community-centric

We are proud to be part of such a diverse and welcoming Island. We strive to be a valued member of the community and get involved with efforts such as local tree planting and beach cleans whenever possible.

Meet Daniel

Hey! I’m Daniel, and I make up one half of the cousin duo behind Jack’s Alt-Stays… the older and wiser cousin.

I’ve stayed in some pretty unique places around the world, from an AirBnB Beachhouse in Santa Monica, to a Shepherd’s Hut in some guy’s driveway in Glencoe (Yeah, really).

I love playing drums in my Glasgow indie-rock band, telling stories through film and, of course, dogs – I have an 9-year-old Labrador called Rudi.  I’ve also become much more environmentally conscious over the last few years.

Meet Adam

Hello folks, my name is Adam, the younger (and slightly better looking) cousin.

I love my music, playing basketball, and exploring our amazing home country of Scotland. Whether it’s scenic walks or bagging Munros, you’ll likely find me out enjoying the great outdoors.

I’m also a road trip and staycation enthusiast who loves a good night away in an Airbnb.

During Daniel’s final year of uni, we began working on creating a concept that’s sure to shake up Scotland’s tourist accommodation game.
