Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Woodside Huts are fantastic places to stay in the Highlands. Situated in the Heights of Inchvannie near to the Victorian spa town of Strathpeffer. From the little plateau where the huts are set there are incredible views to enjoy. You really have it all in one panorama from each of the Woodside Huts: strath and glen, Highland Forest, towering mountains, attractive town, golf course, river and the sea.
The huts are set on a working farm, an 18-acre croft. You will pass through the farmyard and cruise by sheep, chickens and ducks as you make your way to the parking area for your hut. The animals will be within view the entire time of the holiday and you’ll be pleased to hear that some wonderful produce is delivered to your door in the form of a welcome pack. At certain times of the year this will include croft honey as there’s a hive nearby – it’s delicious and benefits from the wildflower meadow that takes up part of the hillside behind the huts.
The huts themselves are beautifully finished. Outside each hut there’s a seating area with a firepit and a raised deck to the side of the property with two bespoke single hot tubs set within the decking.
From this location you can explore in every direction and most places in the northern highlands are at most a daytrip away. The Black Isle is within view of the huts beyond the Cromarty Firth and offers so much for explorers. The nearby NC500 will lead you up the east coast or across to the west coast. You can be up at John O’Groats in a couple of hours if you wish and at the Skye Bridge in just under ninety minutes. Woodside Huts are close to everywhere up in the far north – it’s an excellent place to base yourself!

We absolutely loved our stay at Woodside Croft! Me and my girlfriend stayed for 3 nights in the little cabin, and although it is small it's very cosy, comfortable and romantic. We had an amazing time soaking in the nature, sitting by the fire pit and using the amazing outdoor bath. The location is just stunning, with beautiful views and very peaceful surroundings. It is also a very unique stay with it being part of a working farm, and while at times the tractor etc could be heard we found this just added to the wholesome vibe of the place. I would absolutely recommend staying here especially with your significant other, it was an amazing experience and is a perfect base to explore the beautiful Scottish highlands! We hope to stay at Woodside Croft again in the future, thank you so much to Gerald and Heather for having us!
