Lazybed

The Lazybed is a high specification, bespoke small house with an interior of 31sqm plus large sweeping deck with a wonderful view. See the Pictures page for up to date titled images.

The accommodation has a compact, hand-crafted, well equipped kitchen. There is a full size larder fridge, but no freezer (we can store items in our freezer if necessary). For cooking there is an oven with 4 ring induction hob. Please note there is no microwave.

The main living area has comfortable furniture and a small dining table and chairs. There is no TV reception, but there is a flat screen television with DVD player and an eclectic library of films to choose from plus a good selection of books.

The Lazybed is designed to accommodate up to 2 adult guests. There is a king-size bed (alternatively twin beds can be made up) with comfortable mattresses, good quality bed linen and one bath and hand towel per person. We offer a laundry service as there is no washing machine. There is a hair-dryer.

If luggage space allows, we recommend that you bring along some indoor footwear as the cabin’s flooring is slate, stone or wood throughout.

The cost includes essentials such as bed linen, tea towels, kitchen cloth, bathroom towels, bamboo toilet rolls, Friendly soap and Ecover washing up liquid. We sell super dry logs at £12/basket. There is no extra charge for electricity, mains water or Wi-Fi. Staying for 4 nights or more? David will bake you a complimentary organic loaf of bread and provide some local jam, at your request.

WiFi is available and now reaches inside Lazybed. There is also a signal on the deck and in the car park.

Why the name Lazybed? Lazy beds are basically 'old school' potato patches. Land dug out with drainage ridge and furrow, filled with seaweed. A simple and effective way for crofters to live off the land in the old days. Originally we had planned to do exactly this on the site, it was the perfect spot to have a lazy bed where we could grow tatties and kale. Our croft is hilly and we didn't want the upheaval or expense of a new road for access to build our first self-catering unit, so we decided to put it in place of the lazy bed, hence the name.
