  • Nestled on the tranquil shores of Loch Fyne, Kabn offers a secluded retreat designed for couples to relax, recharge, and reconnect. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland’s West Coast, the cabins are set within the 12,000-acre Ardkinglas Estate, providing an exclusive blend of privacy, luxury, and natural beauty. The design of each cabin is a testament to architectural craftsmanship, seamlessly blending into the environment with floor-to-ceiling glass panels that frame stunning views of the loch. Constructed using sustainable materials and featuring minimalist interiors, Kabn creates a calming space where the beauty of nature takes center stage.

    With only two bespoke cabins spaced over 100 meters apart, Kabn ensures an unparalleled sense of exclusivity and seclusion. Each cabin has been meticulously designed to suit its unique setting. Kabn 1 features a portrait orientation with a striking Japanese-inspired slatted glass gable, while Kabn 2 offers a landscape orientation with a panoramic glass corner. Inside, guests will find a thoughtfully curated space that includes a king-sized bed with organic cotton linens, a full ensuite bathroom with a rainfall shower, and an open-plan kitchen and living area. The living space, complete with a wood-burning stove, is both cozy and elegant, making it the perfect spot to unwind while soaking in the incredible views.

    Just steps from each cabin lies a private stretch of beach along the loch, offering guests a tranquil place to enjoy quiet mornings or starlit evenings. Dining at Kabn is an experience in itself, with guests invited to explore curated culinary adventures by renowned wild-cooking expert, Chef William Hamer. Known for his mastery of fire and flavor, Chef Hamer offers private dining experiences and group Supper Clubs on select dates. Having trained at world-class establishments like the two-Michelin-starred Hiša Franko, he crafts dishes that celebrate local, sustainable ingredients and a deep connection to nature. Guests can also take advantage of a fully stocked organic larder in the cabin or visit the nearby Loch Fyne Deli for fresh, locally sourced produce.

    Kabn’s commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of its operation. From the use of environmentally conscious materials in the cabins to partnerships with organizations like Green Tourism and 1% for the Planet, Kabn is dedicated to creating a positive impact on both the environment and the local community.
