The morning sun filters through tall pines onto timber chalets that feel more hideaway than holiday let, wood smoke curling from a chimney somewhere nearby.

This is a spot for couples after a proper escape or small families who want comfort without the caravan park bustle — the pods and chalets give you four walls and a bit of luxury, though you'll need to ask about bringing the dog along. It's glamping rather than pegs-and-canvas, so expect a proper bed and somewhere to make coffee when the rain sets in, which in the UK it inevitably will.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so worth a quick call before you book to check what's onsite and what you'll need to bring. Campfires might be allowed depending on conditions — ask when you arrive rather than assume. The vibe leans quiet and tucked-away, the kind of place where you unplug for a long weekend and remember why you liked each other in the first place.

EHW - Alternatives

Explores varied Highland terrain around the eastern edge of Loch Ness with moderate to steep inclines through woodland and open hillside. Not suitable for buggies; older children who are confident on uneven paths will manage sections, but younger ones may struggle. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards effort with dramatic loch views, ancient forest sections, and a genuine sense of Highland wilderness away from the busy A82 tourist trail.

Spruce & Squirrel Trail

Meanders through native woodland with gentle inclines and well-maintained paths, making it manageable for families with older children who don't mind uneven forest terrain. Buggies will struggle on rooty sections. Dogs welcome on leads. Named for the resident red squirrels and towering Sitka spruce, you'll enjoy dappled shade, birdsong, and a peaceful escape into Highland forest—keep eyes peeled for squirrel activity in the canopy, especially early morning.

Linn of Pattack Waterfalls Walk

Follows a well-maintained path through ancient Caledonian pine forest to a spectacular waterfall in a dramatic rocky gorge. Mostly flat with one gentle climb, suitable for older children and reasonably fit families, though the final viewpoint has steep drops so supervision essential. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The cascading falls and pristine Highland scenery make this a rewarding short hike, though path can be muddy and narrow in places – not suitable for buggies.

East Highland Way

Traces a magnificent 77-mile route from Fort William to Aviemore through the Cairngorms National Park, mixing ancient Caledonian pine forest, high moorland passes and Glen Feshie's dramatic river valley. Moderate to challenging terrain with sustained climbs and remote stretches—unsuitable for buggies and requiring good fitness for families (older, experienced children only). Dogs welcome but must be under close control near livestock and wildlife. Delivers big Highland scenery, red deer sighting
