Each booking also has a one off £10 cleaning and booking fee.
We have a standard minimum stay of 2 days. We do this because we are passionate about slow tourism. We love welcoming people who would like to enjoy Rubha Phoil and the surrounding area. If you want an exception, please contact us.
If you join the Virtual Village first, you may get extra discounts. You can register to find out more here.
If you want to spend some time learning Permaculture or have a tour or a chat, help plant some trees, do a workshop with the kids, … join the Village and lets make it happen. Otter will welcome you in the village and guide you into a conversation.
Your stay is self-catered.
You’ll have a tent pitch for your self and access to the shared showerblock with a compost toilet and your own bonfire place to yourselves. (showering time might need to be coordinated with the staff)
If there is no fire risk, you can make a bonfire. You are welcome to bring untreated wood or charcoal or buy some from us in our online shop.
You will have access to much (but not all) of our 15 acre Rock and beaches for walks and peace and quiet leisure time.
Please note that booking a holiday with us does not automatically mean that you are a full member of our community. You are welcome to ask to be part of the community, though that would mean that you need to go through a stricter ‘selection’ or ‘vetting’ process. Our community is a safe HOME for a variety of people and children and wildlife and we feel precious about our safe community and culture and we want to know you better before we welcome you into that bubble. We hope that you understand this. You can read more about the selection process here.
You can book activities, sessions to learn about Permaculture, Nature Connection or other exciting activities on our marketplace. We may be able to offer kid activities too. Please feel free to book these in advance. Contact us to arrange.
Sorry, no dogs or pets, hen or stag parties or drones on our Rock. Registered guide dogs are very welcome of course.
After booking, wait for your booking to be accepted before paying. At that point will reserve your dates for a short while waiting for you payment. We will reserve your dates for real only when an agreement and full payment is made.
When booking, you accept and agree to adhere to the terms and conditions and conduct agreement below.

Terms and Conditions and useful tips for your visit
– Cars or Motor Bikes cannot normally drive up to the Rock. Our track is in need of an upgrade. We have our own private car park near our entrance. There is a wheel barrel available to bring your luggage to your pitch and we are really happy to help you.
– If you need to ask us any questions, there is always someone here. Feel free to call or send a text message or whatsapp 00447393830403.
– The West coast of Scotland can be really wet and windy. Check the weather forecast. Choose your activities wisely.
– We live in a dark sky area. The stars and the northern lights are simply breath taking. For that reason, we limit street lights. We recommend to use torches to walk around in the dark.
– Please vacate your pitch by 12AM on the day of departure.
– We have CCTV at the entrances of our Rock (and sometimes wild life camera’s too). We’re happy to disclose to you where they are. Your own space is completely private. Your privacy is protected. We will never use these images for anything else other than crime prevention. Our privacy policy is here: https://www.rubhaphoil.org/privacy-policy

the code of conduct.
– Please try to keep noise to a minimum, especially between 10pm and 8am. Electronic music does not fit in well in our environment.
– Please respect our Rock and all life on it
– Bonfires: If it has been dry, and there is fire risk, fire is prohibited. If in doubt, please ask us first. Only fires in the designated fire pits (ringed with stone) or in a firebowl which you can borrow from us. Fire on the beach is recommended! Please do not collect your own firewood from our woods, and do not cut or harm any trees. Please do not burn anything other than wood (or paper to start the fire with). Seasoned wood is available to purchase or you are welcome to bring your own.
– No naked flames such as camping stoves or candles in your tents.
– Keep to footpaths and do not create new paths please. Do not run. Our paths are uneven and there are trip hazards. You will need to use appropriate footwear. If you would like to walk around the beach, we recommend using a long walking stick to aid your balance when climbing over the rocks.
Seaweed can be very slippery!
– Supervise children younger than 12 at all time, so that they can enjoy the freedom of the outdoors without causing damage (e.g. climbing trees with thin branches) or without danger. We have several shallow ponds on our Rock. We are happy to show you more details in our safety policies. We would like you to know that we consider you responsible for all young people under the age of 18.
– Do not hang items on trees. If using a hammock, please don’t harm the tree and make sure the trees are strong enough and alive. We want you to ask us first.
– All taps provide drinkable water.
– Sorry, but we do can not allow dogs or pets anywhere on Rubha Phoil. If you have a registered guide dog, contact us please to discuss how we can do our best to accommodate you. This a sensitive area of natural beauty and we want to avoid disturbing wildlife and other visitors. You can read more about our reasons here: https://www.rubhaphoil.org/dogs.

– No drones.
– There are no electric plugs available for you. We may be able to charge phones or battery banks for you.
– As one would normally expect, if you accidentally are responsible for small damage to our business, we will claim reparations from you. For larger amounts of damage, we may need to claim from our insurance, which may try to hold you responsible.
– If you would like to go for a walk into the hills, a paddle or a swim, it is common practise in the Highlands that you let someone know a time that you are expected back and agree to a ‘cut-off- moment that the coast guard or mountain rescue gets called. We are happy to be your point of contact. Of course don’t forget to let us know that you have returned safely.
– If you would like to go for a swim or a paddle, please know that our islands to the South of Rubha Phoil are protected. Do not go near them. Disturbing wildlife such as our seals and birds may be a criminal offence. We feel passionate about protecting them.
Keep an eye out for sea urchins and Lion’s mane Jelly fish. These are really dangerous! We recommend to take a buddy with you.
Do not swim in the dark.
– If you are going for a walk in the surrounding area, please read up about the Right to Roam legislation. You have the right to respectful access to the Scottish land. If you do not behave with respect, you loose that right. You can read more here: https://www.gov.scot/policies/landscape-and-outdoor-access/public-access-to-land/
– Please respect our privacy. If there is a sign ‘Please respect our privacy, living quarters ahead’, that means that we ask you not the walk any further. If there are ropes, please don’t climb over them.
Normally, everyone you will encounter on the Rock of Rubha Phoil is invited and known by us. Members of the public do not have free access to the woodlands under the right to roam legislation. Though we can’t guarantee that everyone will respect our signs and the law.
