About the site
This small glamping site is in a stunning location and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms, as well as being a great base for exploring the local area or further afield. All the pods are super cosy, with bedding provided, electricity and heating just in case you need it - it's glamorous camping without the cold toes! There are pods to suit two or three, with comfy beds inside. You'll find this a brilliant base for your holiday as well as a real haven from the hustle and bustle of other spots. It's the perfect place to relax and connect with nature. The off-grid shepherd's hut has excellent solar lighting, a warm wood burning stove and a gorgeous double bed. Gorgeous views right down the glen. The hut also has two fold away camping beds for children aged up to ten. Situated on the A939, Howe of Torbeg is part of the Snow Roads, a 90 mile route which traverses the highest public road in Britain, taking you through some of the most outstanding landscapes in the Eastern Cairngorms. This is the place to drive slowly and take it all in - so why not take your time, and make this a glamping stopover to remember?
The site is open year round, but closes for a short period in November and some dates in December.
