About Alpnhaus


Sitting with her back to the world, Alpnhaus is an award winning, luxurious off grid mountain chalet, here at Singdean. Designed for you both to relax and totally switch off. A cosy, warm independent hideaway with integrity, nestled in the hills.

Child free and dog friendly. Just for two, you are the only guests here.

Alpnhaus is placed on a rugged hillside surrounded by hills and valleys with streams and waterfalls. Singdean 'garden' has a large wildlife pond which attracts so much wild life - from frogs to dragonflies to herons and wild ducks.

Deer, foxes, stoats and badgers are also frequent visitors. And just beyond the garden, we have seen otters. We also have resident barn and tawny owls.

Alpnhaus has been hand made by us with a lot of love, masses of local larch, a large pinch of creativity, some help and a heap of dedication. It took just over a year,  although it has been many years in the making.

We are on hand incase you need anything but otherwise you won’t even know that we’re here.

A beautiful escape

  • Rugged Bliss

    Relax in the award winning architect designed Alpnhaus.

    The Alpine interior is filled with luxurious natural fabrics with beautiful essential oil fragrance radiating from different areas.

    Surrounded by beautiful views that you can enjoy from inside too.

    Peaceful and joyous.

  • Apine Breakfast

    Our traditional mountain breakfast is placed in a hamper outside of your door for you to enjoy together. Changing with the season and locally sourced (when possible), it consists of coffee, orange juice, bread, patisserie, fruit, yoghurt, porridge, cheeses and hams and eggs. We also offer a vegetarian option. Should you still be asleep, don't worry - we won't wake you.

  • Restorative

    Luxuriate in the super king bed which features a high-quality mattress that’s hand-made from cotton, silk, and wool, with snuggly German down duvets with linen bedding.

    Larch wood walls, total dark skies together with fresh Scottish remote hillside air all help with a beautiful nights sleep.

  • Küche

    Alpnhaus has a fully functioning kitchen with all the pots, pans, cutlery, utensils etc you may need. Also supplied is olive oil, salt and pepper and cleaning bits and bobs.

    Sainsburys, Tescos or Morrisons deliver here too, so if you would like to organise a delivery for your day of arrival, please let us know and if it arrives before you, we can pop it into Alpnhaus for you.

Fancy a Winter escape? Or perhaps a Christmas getaway?

Time to relax

The out door wood fired hot tub is freshly filled for you using our very own natural Scottish Spring water. It has spectacular views and is placed just outside of your bedroom. Del will heat it it for you so that it will be ready for you at 6.00 pm.

Or if you’d like to use it any time, there is also a basket of logs for you.

Guests have enjoyed seeing deer, badger, fox and owls whilst relaxing in the hot tub. And if the skies are clear and dark, the milky way is an extraordinary sight

Whatever time of year you choose to visit is special so we don’t have any seasonal or weekend price changes (apart from Christmas week). We have no hidden charges.

Just some of our reviews

  • "Thanks for the most relaxing mini break we have ever experienced, my husband has had the best nights sleep he's had in 15 years. A beautiful place to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary".

  • "Really, there is no place I'd rather be."

  • "The breakfast is just as magic as the chalet. I wish we had longer to stay, but we will be back"

  • "Thank you for a wonderful two days relaxing in Alpnhaus. I sit at the breakfast table writing this, looking out to the stillness of the tree line, quiet after the contrasting storms of Saturday. The birds are active on the feeder now and the mists rising from the damp and cool land".

  • "Thank you and thank you again."

  • "Singdean is a place you can slow down and watch and listen……such rare things in our normal working lives."

  • "An amazing stay in the beautiful Alpnhaus. From the amazing smells to the cosy hot tub with our favourite view. The perfect setting for a few very special days to us".

  • "Singdean is the perfect antidote to the rat race, as it gives you the opportunity to disconnect and just be calm, in order to clear your mind and take in the natural world."

  • The fact that Singdean is off grid is just the icing on the cake as it does your soul good to know that whilst staying here, you're part of the solution - not the problem!

  • ‘Every now and then in life you stumble on a jewel, this place is a diamond’.

  • It is so much more than what we could have hoped for - amazingly cosy and warm and beautifully luxurious
