We’re a young British family with two free spirited kids and a heart full of dreams. After years of juggling the pace of modern life, we felt called to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with the land. We want to create a space where others can do the same... where nature heals, and people feel like they belong.
We’ve found a beautiful spot of land in the Scottish Highlands near a loch, surrounded by forest, fresh air and wild stillness. We want to turn it into a glamping retreat built from the ground up with love, creativity and sustainability, and we want to share every step of the journey with you.
What We’re Creating
Our vision is to build a small, low impact retreat with beautiful bell tents, compost toilets, solar-powered lighting, and wildlife-friendly landscaping. Think:
- Stargazing beside the loch
- Morning swims and campfire breakfasts
- Hammocks in the trees
- Mindfulness trails for kids and grownups
- Pop-up nature events like foraging walks, storytelling nights, wild swimming workshops and family bushcraft
It’s not just a holiday... it’s a return to what matters.
How the Money Will Be Used
If we raise £60,000, here’s how we’ll invest it:
- Land purchase: £45,000
- Legal & site survey costs: £2,000
- Initial infrastructure (water, compost loos): £5,000
- 2–3 furnished bell tents: £5,000
- Basic website & booking system: £1,000
- Eco-friendly touches (signage, hammocks, fire pits): £2,000
We’ll stretch every penny and do the building work ourselves where possible, sharing the process on socials.

You’ll be part of this from the ground up. Here’s how we’ll say thank you:

£500+ – 3-night glamping retreat + exclusive early-access booking + founding supporter title
(And lots of behind-the-scenes updates, videos, and community input opportunities along the way!)
How We’ll Find the Land
We’re already scouring listings around Loch Ness, Loch Tay, and the southern Highlands for plots with access, natural water, and light planning potential. As soon as we hit a funding milestone, we’ll secure the land and begin!
If the land we’ve currently shortlisted is sold before we fund, we’ll select the next best option and keep all supporters in the loop.
Our Mission
We want to create more than just a place to stay, we want to build a community-funded sanctuary where families can escape, heal, and reconnect. A space shaped by people, not corporations. A model of how rural life, business and nature can work in harmony.
Why Now?
More and more people are looking to step out of the noise, even just for a weekend. Mental health, burnout, disconnection, it’s real! This project is our way of responding to that, and we believe others feel it too.
