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.

The Fauld Farm on the Isle of Mull

1 unit · Motorhome, Tent50 acres · Tobermory, Scotland

The Fauld is a small hill farm located close to Tobermory in the north-east of the stunning Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. In total, the land comprises around 150 acres - although most of this area tends to be grazed by our Highland ponies and Shetland/Cheviot sheep. In spring and summer, there are wild flowers and birds galore, and bracing fresh air is on tap all year round - as are the spectacular coastal views from the top of the hills. The farm lies within walking distance of the iconic and colourful fishing port of Tobermory, which offers a range of shops, cafes and pubs - as well as being home to the Tobermory Distillery at Ledaig. If you have a car, we can offer off-road parking for a couple of vehicles, and we also have parking space for two campervans (though we do not have water or electricity connections yet). PS: You are advised to come equipped for camping in wet conditions whatever the season - although we promise that the weather can be lovely too! We look forward to welcoming responsible, country-loving campers to The Fauld :-)

Campsites near Spean Bridge guide

Overview

At the southern end of the Great Glen, the village of Spean Bridge offers a great base for walkers embarking on, or resting after, the Great Glen Way long-distance trail or the West Highland Way, which also passes through the village. Known as ‘the crossroads of the Highlands’, Spean Bridge also offers good access to Inverness, the Isle of Skye, Fort William, Loch Laggan and Strathspey. Surrounded by the Nevis mountain range, the area boasts plenty of natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities including hillwalking, climbing, watersports and wildlife watching. Campers have plenty of options in the area, from parking in a caravan site to pitching a tent under the shadow of Ben Nevis.

Where to go

North of Spean Bridge

Less than three miles north of Spean Bridge’s famed Commando Memorial, which commemorates the elite soldiers of WWII, family-run Gairlochy Holiday Park offers grass and hardstanding pitches for caravans, campervans and tents, as well as a selection of wooden chalets overlooking the River Spean Gorge with views to Ben Nevis, the Grey Corries and the Nevis Range.

East of Spean Bridge

Three and a half miles east of Spean Bridge, family-owned Bunroy Park occupies nine acres (3.6 hectares) of land in Roy Bridge, on the banks of the River Spean. The site has excellent views of the Nevis Range and spaces for touring caravans or motorhomes and tents. Glamping accommodation is also available in its log pods, tipi-style tents and self-catering lodges.

Fort William

Ten miles southwest of Spean Bridge, Fort William is a hub for outdoor adventure, from climbing Ben Nevis to hiking around Glencoe, and is a handy base due to its transportation links, shops and restaurants. In the north of town, Ben Nevis Holiday Park offers views of Ben Nevis and has grass and electric hard standing pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, as well as static caravans and self-catering holiday lodges.

Moy Bridge

Along the Great Glen Way, five miles north of Spean Bridge, you’ll find a designated free ‘wild camping’ area at Moy Bridge. The basic site has just a picnic table and room for only a few tents.

When to go

Fort William and the surrounding area is typically busy with tourists from May/June through September. At that time of year you’re likely to find crowded trails and booked-up campsites. Between April and early May is a good time to visit to avoid crowds. While the temperature will be cool, the landscape will be filled with blooming flowers and you can still enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and kayaking.
