Every building tells a story and this one continues that legacy with inclusivity at its heart. Hut 38 is the newest addition to a collection of beautifully modernised Nissen huts at the historic Cultybraggan Camp, set just outside the village of Comrie in Perthshire.
Built during the Second World War, Nissen huts were widely used across Britain in Prisoner of War camps. Although originally intended as temporary structures, Cultybraggan Camp remained in use for more than 70 years as a Ministry of Defence training centre. Today it is recognised by Historic Scotland as the last remaining Prisoner of War Camp in Scotland and a unique heritage asset of international value.
Now owned by Comrie Development Trust, the camp has been carefully preserved and reimagined as sustainable self catering accommodation. Hut 38 stands out as a fully accessible hut, designed to support wheelchair users and guests with mobility needs.
Externally, it shares the same striking design as the neighbouring huts, with a vivid red roof, crisp white frontage and black trim set against the backdrop of the Aberuchill Hills. Inside, the layout has been thoughtfully adapted while maintaining the same bright and welcoming feel.
The spacious twin bedroom features two comfortable single beds. The open plan living area includes an accessible kitchen setup, generous circulation space and a dining table seating four. A queen size sofa bed provides additional flexibility.
A key feature of Hut 38 is the wheelchair friendly wet room, complete with roll in shower, grab rails and carefully considered safety features to provide comfort and reassurance throughout your stay.
Whether you are drawn by the history of the site, the surrounding Perthshire countryside, or the need for inclusive and accessible accommodation, Hut 38 offers a truly distinctive place to stay.
