    Wonderful, characterful accommodation in a magnificent setting between the mountains and the sea. We had a great time cycling up the Long Road to Barnhill, strenuous but worth it. Highlight was cooking pizza together at the hut, the oven and...

    The compact cosiness and well equipped kitchen. Impressed that we were left bird food to encourage the wide array of birds at the feeders. Great selection of books and puzzles in case of bad weather.

    Beautiful hut, very cosy and well equiped. Well situated in Jura, just near by the start of the Paps walk. Calm area. Great if you like hiking and calm places, but also good to rest. Great communication by Pi with all the details. The room...

Company information

We are Lynton and Pi. We have two children and a spaniel called Pixel. We live on site and though the huts are situated close to our house, they are quite private and self check-in. We are on hand for our guests if needed. ***A note to Guests*** Having listened to guest feedback, and in order to manage expectations, we would like to highlight that our two huts, The Black Hut and The Rusty Hut have double beds on a sleeping platform / mezzanine. Due to limitations on space, we have installed library-style ladders, with brakes, for guests to gain access. Most guests are comfortable with this arrangement, but for those who are unable, or disinclined to use a ladder, they can request to have the comfy double sofa bed made up on the ground floor. In addition, we have a gorgeous cottage, Mrs. Leonard's, which has a double bed on the ground floor.

Property information

A unique, incredibly special place and one which we hope guests will hold in their memories, Bothan Jura Retreat comprises of three individually designed properties: The Black Hut, The Rusty Hut and Mrs. Leonard's Cottage, a slightly bigger property with a private garden and the addition of an electric sauna. The Black Hut has open plan living and a mezzanine sleeping platform. There is a full size kitchen, with an oven, fridge-freezer, induction hob, and the it is heated by a wood burning stove. There is a small shower room with a toilet and sink. Guests can request the comfortable double sofa bed to be made up if two separate beds are required, or you don’t fancy climbing up to the mezzanine bedroom, which is accessed by a library ladder. The Rusty Hut, though decorated differently, is identical in design. The Black Hut is open to the front, with magnificent sea & mountain views, and the Rusty Hut has an enclosed garden which makes it ideal for guests with dogs who might prefer a little security. The star gazing from your own wood fired hot tub is without doubt, exceptional as Jura has almost no ambient night light. ***A new addition to the Bothan Jura Retreat Portfolio as of June 2025*** The Shepherd's Hut, is off-grid and sleeps two. Designed to be low-key & low-maintenance, it is a glamping experience rather than a serviced stay. Ideal for groups of three as overspill, or if you've been washed out of your tent, or missed a ferry!

Neighbourhood information

Bothan Jura Retreat is in the crofting community of Knockrome, 5km away from Craighouse heading north on The Long Road. Close to the glorious Corran Sands beach, Knockrome is an active crofting hamlet with livestock roaming freely. There are no fences and so we kindly ask guests to please keep dogs under control and on leads when in the village. It takes 7 minutes to drive to Craighouse, or a 40 minute walk. If you would like to rent bikes to get around the island, please let us know as we are happy to organise hiring them from Jura Bikes, who drop them off at the huts for guests. We have developed our retreat for up to 6 guests. The cottage and huts are all fully completed, but please bear with us as the grounds are continue to recover from all the to-ing and fro-ing.
