People often reflect to have wonderful it must be to have a Holiday business in such a beautiful location on the West Coast of Scotland. Surrounded by magical glens, amazing lochs and view that take your breath away. Well its is a privilege to live and work where we do. But its also a very tough environment to try and run a small Eco and Nature tourism business. When we started we want to make our holiday business so much more that just a copy place to stay. There are loads of places to stay in Scotland. Too many really and a lot are not professional operators but simply folk who have a second home to let. We wanted to create a place that matched what we want as a holiday destination. Something unique and different. So yes we invested to make the accommodation as warm and cosy as possible ensuring that guests had everything they needed in a self catering holiday accommodation to make their stay a home away from home. But we also wanted to be so much more than just another accommodation provided.
A holiday for us is all about making memories. We remember holidays as kids that were different and unique. Here at Eco Nature Holidays we have an ethos to follow a sustainable living journey. Improving the environment in which we live and work for future generations to enjoy. We actively encourage wildlife into our garden and have have a excellent wildlife photography hide for guests to get up close to some of Scotlands iconic mammals and birds such as Red Squirrels and Pine Marten. Our wildlife garden is left to be just that wild. We have planted trees and wildflowers to increase the biodiversity of the creature that visit us. But beyond the wildlife and nature we also hike the hills and know many of the off the beaten path places to visit. Some in the guide books but many others that are not. Searching our hidden gems in the glen to share with our guests who come.
We have a EV charger for guest to use (paid service) and plant a tree for every guest that stays here. We also offset all our business environmental impact. We are far from perfect our sustainable living journey is just that a lifelong journey to be as low impact as possible. But every decision we make in the business is to be as eco friendly as we can be at that time. As well as plan for big projects that will move our off grid journey forward.
So if you are looking for a unique holiday, somewhere to make lasting memories then why not book a stay. We are so much more that just another self catering holiday accommodation business. We are tourism with a heart.
