Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

2 units · Glamping1 acre · Roy Bridge, Scotland

Glamping pods in a large garden alongside the river Roy A 10-minute drive from Loch Lochy and 20 minutes from Fort William Seating in the garden and kitchen and ensuites provided Right on the side of the river Roy, the Highland and Transylvania Glamping Pods is a properly cosy base in the Scottish Highlands. The large garden has a terrace, river views and a seating area, but perhaps the best bit is that it’s located a short drive from lochs, glens, rivers and long-distance trails. What might you get up to? Climbing, hill walking, mountain biking and water-based sports are all on the agenda in this area, but especially in Fort William (20 minutes’ drive) and Lochaber, which have been ascribed as a capital for outdoor adventures. Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is also 20 minutes’ drive away. Even closer is Loch Lochy (10 minutes’ drive), which has access to part of the 79-mile Great Glen Way (around 10 minutes’ drive). From Fort William, start off on another long-distance trail, the West Highland Way, which stretches for 96 miles across the banks of Loch Lomond and ends in Milngavie. The pods here have been named after the places where the owners spent their childhood and continue to live. Feel free to stop off while travelling to or from the Isle of Skye (two hours and 10 minutes) or stay for a good while… Fort William’s centre has a splendid selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and a bus and rail station. Plus, there are lots of links courses for golfers a day trip away, like the Royal Dornoch (two hours and 25 minutes). Both pods have a small double bed (a bit narrower than a standard double) with all bed linen provided. The kitchen areas are equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (crockery, cutlery and towels are handily provided). To keep things nice and tasty, the pods are also well insulated. The patio doors and the rear opening window are both double glazed and there are electric radiators to inject some extra heat into the kitchen and living area.

Overview

The village of Glencoe is the gateway to the deep, haunting valley of Glen Coe and surrounded by some of Scotland’s most rugged and spectacular scenery. Outdoor enthusiasts flock here to go hiking through the valley or to bag a couple of Munros, mountain peaks higher than 3,000 feet (914 meters), of which there are eight in the area. Skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers will also find plenty of action at the nearby Glencoe Mountain Resort. Campers have options, too, whether you prefer parking in a caravan site or wild camping in the Lost Valley.

Where to go

Glencoe Village

Steps from the shores of Loch Leven, a top spot for kayaking, Invercoe Caravan and Camping Park has lots of touring pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents. A short walk from the Glencoe National Trust for Scotland Visitor Centre, the Glencoe Camping and Caravanning Club Site offers plenty of grass and hardstanding pitches surrounded by woodland and mountain views. Close by and tucked away beside the River Coe, Red Squirrel Camping offers basic camping in its meadow and woodland pitches.

Kinlochleven

Three miles north of Glencoe and just outside the village of Kinlochleven, Caolasnacon Caravan and Camping Park offers unmarked grass pitches for camping and touring in an idyllic setting overlooking Loch Leven—the site has a limited number of electric hookups. A couple of miles farther north and close to the West Highland Way, Blackwater Glamping and Camping is an ideal choice for weary hikers. The site’s pitches are suitable for small tents only while their glamping pods offer a touch of relative luxury.

Glencoe Mountain

Twelve miles south of Glencoe Village, the Campsite at Glencoe Mountain Resort offers camping, caravan and campervan pitches in a wooded area on Rannoch Moor with views of the pyrmaidal peak of Buachaille Etive Mòr, as well as the possibility of spotting golden eagles soaring overhead. The site also has a selection of comfortable microlodges, which are especially popular with tired walkers, skiers and bikers.

When to go

For long and often sunny days, May to August is the best period to visit—in the height of summer it doesn’t get dark until close to 11 p.m. The summer months, however, see Glencoe fill up with a large number of tourists and families taking advantage of school holidays. September is a great month to visit as most of the large crowds have gone and the fall colors throughout the valley are beautiful, while spring is an especially good time to see wildlife. Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will not be daunted by winter’s chilly temperatures.

Know before you go

Not all campsites are open year-round: check opening dates before traveling.
If choosing to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
A convenient bus service connects Glencoe with Fort William, Glasgow and beyond. In summer it’s advisable to book your tickets in advance.
Biting midges are a common nuisance in the Highlands in summer. It’s a good idea to wear long sleeves and bring repellent.
You can buy basic provisions in Glencoe and there are a couple of larger supermarkets just outside the village.
