The Pilot House is a one-of-a-king holiday home in the Highland haven of Drimnen and is the perfect setting for an undisturbed scenic getaway.Featured in Channel 4's Extraordinary Escapes, the two-storey cabin was expertly designed and crafted from aluminium by Roderick James, a leading architectural practice that specialises in creating sustainable structures.The wraparound balcony has breath-taking, 360-degree views over the Sound of Mull, over to Ardnamurchan and Tobermory.

Inside is cosy, light-filled space to cook, dine, rest, and relax in – with colourful, aviation-inspired memorabilia adding to its uniqueness.

A comfy queen bedroom has a huge window to ensure you get the best views as soon as you wake up, before heading to the refreshing shower room.
