PLEASE NOTE: 1 hut available per booking
The Hut of Wellbeing is an off-grid forest cabin that is located in a hutting community in a woodland setting away from the road, giving guests the opportunity to have a quiet stay close to nature and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is off-grid, with basic facilities, but well-built, comfortable and specially designed for its purpose. The hut is one of what will be fifteen huts of a similar kind spread out through the wood.
The break can be up to 3 nights midweek or over the weekend. The hut is well insulated and has a wood burning stove. Wood is supplied.
Guests must bring their own bedding (a sheet/pillowcase and a duvet/sleeping bag) and food will have to be brought in also.
The hut has one main room, which can be divided into two by a curtain. It has two beds. There is room for extra guests such as children but they would have to bring bedrolls to sleep on the floor. Well-behaved pets and support animals are welcome.
The Hut is not connected to mains water, electricity, gas or internet. Water is available from standpipe nearby, there is a log stove for heating the hut and it has an outdoor kitchen with a gas ring and sink. A composting toilet and a sink are located in a separate room.
The Pillars of Hercules farm shop and café are within 300 metres. The nearby village of Falkland has pubs, shops and visitor attractions and Falkland Estate has an excellent network of walks.
Accessibility: The hut site is on multiple bus routes, with two stops each about 10 minutes walk away. The bus trip is half and hour from Glenrothes, 50 minutes from Cupar and one hour 20 min from Kirkcaldy or St Andrews. Buses also run at weekends and well into the evening. Buses link with Ladybank and Markinch rail stations. For those coming by car the site has its own car park. Cars can be driven up to the hut on a track for dropping off, but they must be returned to the car park to avoid blocking others. There is level access from the track and door widths etc are to standard disability specifications.
