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.

Glamping near Ullapool guide
Overview
A gateway to the northwest Highlands and the Western Isles, the port village of Ullapool sits on the shores of Loch Broom on the west coast of Scotland and is a wonderful destination in itself. Ullapool is surrounded by natural beauty and offers opportunities for scenic walks along the rocky coast. More serious walkers and climbers can tackle the peaks of Stac Pollaidh, Cùl Mòr, Cùl Beag, and Suilven. The town lies along the popular North Coast 500 long-distance driving route but is well worth staying a while. Campers can choose from a well-appointed caravan park in town to pitching a tent on the shores of the Atlantic.
When to go
For enjoying long, sunny days outdoors, June through August is the best time to visit, despite the area getting busy with tourists driving the North Coast 500 route in the summer months. September is a good alternative for fewer crowds, while winter visitors will contend with cold conditions while enjoying crisp landscapes.
Know before you go
- Some private sites are seasonal—check opening dates before travelling.
- Ullapool weather is changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear.
- Small biting midges are a common summertime Highland nuisance. It’s a good idea to bring insect repellent on your camping trip.
- There are no rail links to Ullapool, but bus services run from Inverness, which is linked by train to Edinburgh and beyond.
