FACILITIES

The most awesome facility at your disposal during a stay at ACE Hideaways is your natural surrounding. We are nestled into a woodland high above the River Findhorn in which all manner of nature – from birds to deer and even red squirrels – has made its home. As such we are in a very rural location and some facilities tend to the eco-minded and functional.

Camping & Glamping Facilities:

• Drinking-Water is from our own private supply taken from the (council-tested) tap at the toilet/shower block.
• There are loos and showers by Reception for all to use.
• The Outdoor Camp Kitchen has a huge table and log stools (made from a single tree that had fallen beside the river just below ACE), sink, and two-ring gas camp cooker for all campers to share and enjoy. Each shepherd’s hut has its own gas ring stove.
• Campfires are welcome! There is a huge communal fire pit at camp kitchen for large groups so everyone at ACE can enjoy a proper campfire.  A sack of excellent quality, locally-sourced, seasoned hardwood logs can be bought from Reception.
• Each bell tent and shepherd’s hut has a log burning stove inside to keep you toasty all night and its own designated fire pit outside.
• ACE Reception shop has some basic supplies such as drinks, chocolate bars, and camp essentials.
