Ecopod Boutique RetreatAppin, United Kingdom

Think James Bond meets David Attenborough. These two boutique, light-filled, heat-retaining domes have been designed to be low on environmental impact and high on techy gadgets.

They have open-plan, five-star interiors, an outdoor Japanese-style hot tub and views stretching out to Castle Stalker, Loch Linnhe and the west coast of Scotland. Choose from whitewater rafting in nearby Fort William, the outdoor capital of the UK, or gorging on your complimentary hamper of scallops (hand-collected by divers from the bottom of the loch) and local beers.

This is the kind of place where a three day escape off the grid is like a week away anywhere else.

The eco pods are located in Appin, halfway between the major west coast towns of Oban and Fort William on the A828. Why not try something different and travel by seaplane? Loch Lomond Seaplanes operates a service from the River Clyde in Glasgow to Oban.

  • Digital TV
  • The views on Scotlands West coast are magic
