North Light Studio

Swap the commute for a morning walk to the shore, the traffic for silence, the rush for a week where the only thing on your agenda is whether to light the woodburning stove or sit out on the decking with a book. North Light Studio is an eco-friendly lodge on a working croft in Locheport, with one bedroom, a sauna, and a garden that looks out over open country toward the coast. The open-plan living space has everything you need—kitchen, dining table, sitting area with the stove—and there's parking for one car. Dogs are welcome. It's the kind of place where you arrive tense and leave wondering why you don't live like this all the time.
