Off-Grid Relaxing Getaway at The Captain's Rest

Summary:
A cabin where lovers meet & adventures were realized. Where parties are held, children play & vows are made. Where the constant rush of water mixes with music, laughter, & clinking of glasses. A gateway to Glasgow & the Highlands, that cabin is The Captain’s Rest. Escape to Finglen, home of the low-key luxury hand-built off-grid woodland cabin. A place where things come together, stay the night, spend the evening, while away the afternoon, or kick off the day.

The Space:
Inspired by his experience of living in the wild for a year and his Grandfather; a gold mining prospector Jack has created Finglen Cabins. The "Captain's Retreat" is a little piece of paradise where you can escape the hustle and bustle of modern life. Come and relax on the verandah with a long drink and listen to the sound of bird songs and the burn which runs through our wildflower meadow. Enjoy our outside double-ended bathtub to live out your countryside hot tub experience.

Finglen Cabins has everything that you will need for a relaxing getaway, whether you want to stay for the weekend or a month we have thought of everything. There is hot running water, electricity, a woodfired oven and hob as well as an electrical hob (just in case it's too hot to fire up the oven)! There is an indoor bathroom with a hot shower, sink, and composting toilet, yes we have an indoor composting toilet. Don't worry the composting toilet is state of the art, it has a fan to remove any "odd" smells and a full user guide is included in your cabin welcome pack as there are some key tips that you need to know about using the composting toilet. It also has a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm for safety. The cabin sleeps two people in a luxurious king-size bed with a storage drawer cleverly hidden under the bed, we also have a small wardrobe for anyone who doesn't want to leave their fancy frocks behind. Heating is provided by the wood burning stove and there is an electrical radiator in the bathroom, so you won't have to worry about cold damp towels. The cabin has been designed and built to be very heat efficient so it doesn't require much heating, and when warm it holds its heat amazingly well. We have created a generous veranda so that you can enjoy the fresh air when relaxing or eating during your stay. The icing on the cake and we are very proud of this addition is the hot running outdoor bath tub. What more could anybody want than to soak in a hot bath on a summer or winters evening whilst enjoying your favorite tipple and gazing longingly at the meadow and river as it winds its way past the cabin?
