Stardust – A Unique Rental in the Scottish Highlands

Stardust Scotland Highlands Shepherd's Hut

If you’ve ever wanted a vacation among the Highlands of Scotland, look no further than Stardust. Located on Loch Ewe, Scotland, Stardust is a collection of unusual spaces and accommodation, with a boathouse, shepherd’s hut and a large winter hut.

The boathouse has been transformed into a luxurious cottage with picturesque views of the surroundings landscape. The house has been furnished with both traditional and modern pieces, creating a warm, and comfortable interior.

The main living area contains a bedroom nook that’s separated from the rest of the room with a simple stud wall and drapes. The remainder of the room acts as a living room, with armchairs, a built-in and free-standing sofa and a wood burning stove.

You’ll also find a luxurious modern bathroom in the converted boathouse. It features LED lighting around a freestanding tub, retro wall art, marine-themed tchotchkes, and elements of wood that reinforce its rustic decor.

The kitchen seems to be located in the shepherd’s hut, a traditional shelter that was used by farmers in the 19th and 20th century during sheep raising and lambing.

The interior is very kitschy, and as Tredir says, it’s a case of organized chaos within a 50’s setting. The front end of the hut contains the kitchen, and the rear contains a dedicated dining area.

And as if all that wasn’t enough to preoccupy you, you can always take a dip in the hot tub, make use of the BBQ pit, or chill out in the winter hut (next to it’s fire pit). Perhaps the best thing to do is simply soak in the amazing surroundings.
