Cruinn Leum Roundhouse, located on the stunning Applecross Peninsula in the North West Highlands, was originally designed to be an artist’s retreat, complete with a built-in recording studio.

A wood burning stove keeps things cozy, while a well-equipped kitchen, surround-sound entertainment system, spacious double bedroom, cedar-panelled shower room with underfloor heating, and an outdoor sitting area will make sure you are kept comfortable.While enjoying your solitude, look out for visits from the local wildlife, including rare pine martens, red deer and golden eagles.

At night enjoy the star-filled skies free of any light pollution – if you are very lucky you might even catch the Northern Lights.Cruinn Leum Roundhouse is available to rent from £425 per week from www.hostunusual.com.
