*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August*
Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees.
The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde, all a gentle walk from the sites.

Escape to the Woods
Tucked away amongst the trees at Bowie Wood, our spacious 6m bell tent is a secluded woodland retreat designed for slowing down, switching off and reconnecting with nature.
Set on its own raised timber platform, the tent looks out into the woodland, with a covered awning creating a sheltered spot to sit outside with your morning coffee or simply listen to the forest around you.
Inside, natural coir flooring, a king-size bed and the warmth of a wood-burning stove create a cosy retreat whatever the Scottish weather decides to do.
This isn't a manicured campsite. You're staying within our woodland, surrounded by mature trees, mossy ground, ferns and wildlife. Red squirrels, roe deer, woodpeckers, buzzards and bats are all visitors to Bowie Wood, and after dark the woodland becomes wonderfully peaceful.
Follow the woodchip path back to your tent, light the stove, make a hot chocolate and settle in for the evening. On clear nights, step outside and look up — away from the bright lights of town, the woodland is a beautiful place for stargazing.
Although it feels hidden away, Bowie Wood is close to Stirling and makes a wonderful base for exploring central Scotland, from Stirling Castle and Bannockburn to the Ochil Hills, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
Bowie Wood is an ongoing rewilding project, where we’re working to restore and enhance the woodland while allowing nature to flourish. You may notice areas of ongoing work around the wider site as we continue to improve habitats, paths and facilities. We aim to keep any disruption to guests to a minimum.
Come here for the quiet, the trees and the chance to experience something a little different. The whole project is completely off-grid. The electricity is from solas and the water is rainwater harvesting.
Slow down. Light the fire. Sleep amongst the trees.

We stayed in the cabin . We popped some wood into the log burner on and just listened to the wood crackling away, very peaceful and relaxing. We walked the woodlands , which our dog especially enjoyed .had a bbq ( which is also provided) and put the firepit in that evening. It was bliss . Definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Secluded Rural Farm Hideaway
This cabin is very cute. Excellent value. Great views, lovely bedding. Simple but really thoughtfully done. Highly recommend. Small wood burning stove inside and fire outside. Very simply equipped ( nice) but everything you need. Nice compost toilet.Outdoor sink with water supply. Great decking around cabin.We were lucky enough to have sunshine and watched sun go down. We threw some pork chops and tomatoes on the outside fire ( bought from excellent farm shop at the nearby Tenby service station ) and boiled potatoes and asparagus on the wood burning stove inside and had delicious meal with bottle of wine. Had place all to ourselves. What’s not to want. Our dog loved it too ! Will return. Perfect to break journey if you travelling up further north Scotland as we were, or just relax for a few days.

1 night at The Snug at Logie Farm
We loved staying in the California Pod at Snug at Logie Farm, the views were amazing and the pod itself was brilliant, we were able to access and adjust heating easily as well as the cool lighting effects. We loved that the whole bathroom area turned into a shower, we had never seen this before, it’s a little small and cramped, but saves space in the room! We unfortunately forgot to check if there were cookers and utensils and brought our own food, but there weren’t any so I’d recommend just bringing pre-made food, going out to eat at one of the local restaurants (which they tell you about via email or in your welcome pack) or pre-ordering the bbq set they offer and Jo was kind enough to let us order this once we got there so we could have our dinner.
We spent the night in January and check in is at 3pm so it’s was getting quite dark already and then we had to check out at 10am the next morning, not giving us much daylight, so I would make the most of being outside while you can before it gets dark or book to stay two nights to really make the most of the next day, which is what we will be doing next time!
It’s a bit on the pricy side, but well worth it once you get there! The hot-tub was brilliant and we were able to connect to Bluetooth speakers from the pod to listen to music and charge our phones on wireless charge ports.
The bed was super comfortable and the nespresso machine provided was perfect for my morning coffee with a view!
Make sure you check it out!

Weekend Trip to The Snug at Logie Farm
Great vista over the Tay. Very classy Pods. Used the hot tub and fire pit outside. Stayed 2 nights. Arrived late afternoon and settled in on the first night with some pre prepared food we brought with us for eating cold. Saturday we Walked a local stretch of the Fife Coastal path that took in Normans Law (the local hill). Had a nice meal on Saturday evening in the Boar’s head at Auchtermuchty. Had marshmallows on the fire pit in the evening! Sunday morning we packed up and had a very enjoyable visit to St Andrews before heading home. All in all a very successful weekend.

A beautiful setting with views across the valley. Tents/huts were well spread out and private and we couldn’t hear other guests. Beds were very comfortable. A big barn to share games and food was just wonderful. Angus was extremely welcoming and the entire stay was relaxing and cathartic.

Nestled at the edge of serene woods, this heart-shaped structure offers a wonderful stay for couples and small families.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that The North Star Treehouse was designed with utmost care and attention to ensure a comfortable and cozy stay. We were warmly welcomed with a delicious homemade carrot cake.
The treehouse boasts a fully equipped kitchen, allowing guests to indulge in cooking while surrounded by the breathtaking natural scenery. It's a wonderful opportunity to savor delicious meals while immersed in the sights and sounds of the great outdoors.
One of the standout features of this enchanting treehouse is its stargazing window. Nestled beside a cozy wood-burning fire, you can gaze up at the celestial wonders above.
The location is secluded and suitable for all weather conditions and seasons. During my stay, I had the pleasure of witnessing a stunning sunset from the private perch, creating a truly magical experience. Moreover, on a rainy evening, I found solace in lying in bed and gazing up at the skylight.
The host, Harvest, deserves special mention for being a wonderful and accommodating presence throughout our stay. Offering various extras, from bread making to wellbeing sessions, Harvest goes the extra mile to ensure that guests have a truly exceptional and rejuvenating experience.
If you yearn for a nature-filled getaway that allows you to unwind and reconnect with the surrounding beauty, I highly recommend booking a stay.

The Snug at Logie Farm was amazing. The pod was spacious and beautifully kitted out. There was a welcome hamper of food and snacks and beautiful toiletries in the wet room. The outside space was fantastic with unbelievable views of the Loch and surrounding countryside. It was remote and peaceful yet easy to access towns and villages. We had a wonderful 2 night stay and will definitely be back.

We loved camping at Muiredge. The campsite is amazing - well equipped from crockery, cutlery, pans, books and games in The Barn to hot outdoor (under cover!) showers. The tents were well spaced out and the views across the rolling Perthshire hills were superb. We had a lovely walk along the fields to Gleneagles one day and along the banks of Loch Leven the next. The kids and dog loved it and so did we. We would highly recommend it.

When to go
For the best weather conditions and for enjoying long daylight hours, April through September is the best time to visit the forest—it’s also a good time for watching wildlife, including breeding ospreys. The height of the summer season does bring crowds, however, especially during the school summer holidays. The forest is a year-round attraction and you can enjoy the trails any time, even in winter, as long as you take care. Note that, at times, trails may be closed due to adverse conditions.
Know before you go
- Glentress Forest is home to excellent visitor facilities, including a good cafe, bicycle hire, and the Wildlife Room where you can watch live feeds of ospreys and other wildlife.
- Some local bus services from Edinburgh pass the park, but having your own transport is preferable for getting to Glentress Forest.
- Younger visitors will enjoy the tree-top scramble and zip wires of the Go Ape centre, located within the forest.
