NSCFT own and manage one of the two log cabins in Borgie Breco forest. The cabin is available for hire by community groups and for private use. We are always looking to develop the use of the cabin and looking for ideas to make this a better space. In 2022 we made several improvements to the cabin and have set up a community working group of volunteers, Borgie Forest Friends, to help with maintenance and improvements.
Facilities
- Open plan main room. Suitable for max 30 people. Sofas (9 people)

Overnight use of the cabin is bookable on a case by case basis. The cabin is not for use as general tourist accommodation, but can be used where accommodation is needed as part of an event, or for local community bookings for special occasions or get-togethers . Please note in your booking details if you wish to stay overnight. Other overnight bookings will be considered if the cabin is not in use.
