"I feel so blessed to have this amazing lodge — I can't thank them enough." 🏡

Chris Ella's new lodge has arrived on the Isle of Skye, in exactly the spot they'd been dreaming of.

Throughout the build, Sam kept in touch every step of the way — asking about fittings, finishes, and exactly what they wanted, so the lodge that arrived felt made for them.

"If I was looking to build on the island, that would've taken years. The house arrived, and I was in it within days."
Seeing it in that light, with that view — worth every step.

Slatted cladding. Soft light against the grain. The quiet detail of a switch plate, placed just right.

The Stretton was built to feel considered in every corner — from the warm glow inside a fitted wardrobe, to the way the eaves catch the evening light outside.

A space made for slowing down.

Designed around you. Built to last.

This is what "built to last" actually looks like before the cladding goes on. 🔨

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) — the core of every Your Retreats build. Instead of traditional timber-frame construction, SIPs combine structural strength and insulation into a single panel, giving our lodges and annexes superior thermal performance, strength, and airtightness from the ground up.

It's why our builds stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and standing strong for decades.
