Complete with a private morning yoga deck and al fresco bath tub, Ledmacoy Shepherd’s Huts effortlessly combine the pleasures of outdoor living with the most spectacular natural scenery.
You’ll find Ledmacoy Farm in the lush, leafy arms of the Cairngorms National Park in Aberdeenshire, boasting superlative Scottish Glen views and friendly owners who can’t wait to welcome you!
In fact, not only do Ian, Becky and their family live and work on the farm, but the luxurious shepherd’s huts were also designed and built by Becky herself, with a little help from a talented local joiner.
Ideal for a romantic couple or a small family who love fresh-air adventure, Oystercatcher View is the farm’s flagship hut. Painted in a bright, cheerful blue and furnished in fresh coastal style, the retreat sleeps up to four guests in a snuggly fold-down kingsize bed, and a fixed bunkbed for two children.
You’ll be welcomed with delights that include hot drinks – including hot chocolate and marshmallows! – and some delicious home-made cake… an ideal way to start your holiday.
The kitchen is perfectly equipped for you to whip up all kinds of fabulous feasts later on, though on balmy evenings you might prefer heading out to your firepit and grill for sizzling sunset suppers, instead.
When you’re not savouring the scenery and stars from that fairy-lit outdoor bath, cosy evenings can be spent unwinding together in the comfy open plan living space. There’s no TV, but a ready supply of games will more than help you pass the time. Oh, and Wi-Fi is available, if you must insist on checking in with the outside world!

What the guests of Ledmacoy Shepherd’s Huts say
“Just home after a great 2 nights in Oystercatcher View. The hut has everything to make your stay perfect, we have stayed in many pods/huts and Ledmacoy definitely has the most extras. Everything from the usual plates and cups to the added extras of bubble bath, games and binoculars to take in the beautiful views. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and a huge thank you to Becky and Ian for the farm tour. It was lovely to see all the new calves.”
