Our standard and subsidised rates are only available to people living or working in Scotland. However we offer a limited number of stays at our supporting rate to anyone outside of Scotland.

We are occasionally able to offer bursaries covering up to 50% of the cost of a subsidised rate stay. You must be living in Scotland. Please apply online or write to us at hello@turadh.org.uk letting us know a few details about your circumstances.

Yes! We have lots of partnerships with community and charity organisations across Scotland. Get in touch with us at hello@turadh.org.uk and we can explore what might work best for you.

Bookings at Taigh Whin and Nead Bernera run for 7 days. Bookings at Feada Coille are sometimes available in low seasons for shorter periods (minimum stay 3 nights).

Once you have made your financial contribution your stay is confirmed. You may cancel at any time but the money you have contributed is 100% non-refundable.

If you need to change the date of your stay this will be subject to availability. We will do our best to help but reserve the right to levy an administration charge of £50 for any amendments to your booking. Amendments are not usually possible within 12 weeks of your arrival date.

Guests will usually be asked for £100 deposit, which is returnable within 7 days of your departure provided the property is left in good condition, with all food and rubbish removed at the end of your stay, and the house rules adhered to. This is returnable within 7 days of departure provided the property is left clean and tidy, with all food and rubbish removed, and the house rules adhered to. If you do not show up for your stay, or if you cancel within 12 weeks of your arrival date, your deposit will automatically be transferred into our bursary fund.

A high-speed internet connection is available at Taigh Whin and Nead Bernera. Feada Coille has a lower-speed connection, ok for basic browsing but unsuitable for streaming or uploads.

Please be aware that all our buildings are very rural and the internet service can be unpredictable.

A car is recommended not only for getting to us but also for making the most of nearby places to visit.

Public transport is very limited in these parts and taxis are expensive. We have had guests arrive by bike and we take our hats off to them; it’s not an easy option.

It is possible to take a train to Kyle and a taxi to Glenelg (for Taigh Whin or Nead Bernera) or a train to Strathcarron and a taxi to Shieldaig (for Feada Coille) but the taxi may be expensive.

You can get a voucher for a taxi between Kyle - Glenelg for £5 by following the instructions here. If you choose to do this, we recommend buying food and anything else you may need for your stay at co-op in Kyle and then asking the taxi to pick you up there.

Absolutely. Provided the main applicant is present throughout the stay, you are welcome to have friends or family members joi you.

Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate dogs, and are unable to make any exceptions, except for service dogs.

We do not have any special facilities for babies or children, but they are welcome to stay. There are plenty of games, puzzles and children's books available.

Heating is free of charge in all buildings.

Taigh Whin and Feada Coille both have wood-burning stoves. A small amount of starter wood is provided, enough for a fire on your first night, and there are plenty of firelighters and matches. Extra wood can be purchased from local shops.

Yes, there is a washing machine and electric drying rack in all the buildings and laundry liquid is provided.

No, unfortunately we do not. Guests travelling by electric car will be able to charge using a long cable if they bring one. We ask for a £40 contribution to the Turadh bursary fund for anyone charging their car during their stay.

Regrettably we are not fully DDA compliant. However both Taigh Whin and Nead Bernera are on a single level with step-free access. Feada Coille is also on a single level but accessed by three steps up.

Please feel free to get in touch at hello@turadh.org.uk with any specific access queries.

Turadh is a not-for-profit social enterprise. Funds from all our stays go towards covering housekeeping costs and providing bursaries for those who need them.
