Looking to head out into nature, breathe in the scent of Norway spruce pine needles or climb the Scottish hills? While staying in exquisitely designed Scottish contemporary accommodation? Brucefield Estate in central Scotland is luxury ecotourism where contemporary & sustainable design are combined with conservation & wildlife.

One of the UK’s best Scandi-style escapes.

Amongst the 1000 acres, semi-ancient woodlands of Scots Pine, oak and birch you’ll find red squirrels, pine martens and a whole natural world with many conservation species. Our eco cabins or lodges, known as Schenbothies, are the perfect forest TinyHomes or Tiny House, fully insulated and with triple glazing, as well as your own gorgeously tiled bathroom (with underfloor heating). Built completely of timber, in the forest, using the finest carpentry skills to create a designer woodland space that will leave you utterly refreshed and recuperated.

Slackbrae our holiday cottage is a juxtaposition of traditional skills externally with a contemporary bespoke joinery interior, accessible with everything on one level, and we’re dog friendly too. Perfect for families or two couples as an away break in the spacious 120m2. Children and infants welcome.

On arrival guests will find a welcome breakfast pack with lots of local goodies.

Plan some time away in 2025 to get away with friends and family. By working with Polly’s Pantry our local caterer, guests can create a bespoke dinner for two or more delivered to your accommodation.

Or order a picnic hamper or afternoon tea - perfect for summer and toasty in the winter with hot soup by the firepit. For a special occasion, try out one of our woodland trails with birch discs and red ribbons leading to a firepit and picnic.

Five star accommodation

We’re delighted to have been awarded 5 stars from Visit Scotland for Slackbrae, our self-catering cottage.

Tucked away in 1000 acres of woodlands and meadows with a rich wildlife and historic landscape, and unique ancestry: that’s what guests find with us.

And we also have gift vouchers available if you’re looking to gift a very special experience: particularly with a tree planting session or guided history & wildlife tour added on, or a Polly’s Pantry picnic hamper.
