The scent of pine resin lingers in the air here, and on still mornings the only sound is birdsong echoing through the glen.
Glen Cottage offers a proper retreat for couples or small families seeking a step up from canvas — there are chalets and camping pods tucked into this corner of countryside, the sort of place where you swap tent pegs for a solid roof but keep the feeling of being properly away from it all. Dogs might be welcome, but best to ask before you book. It's the kind of spot that suits walkers who want a comfortable base after a day on the hills, or anyone craving a few nights of genuine quiet without scrolling through a mile-long amenities list.
Facilities aren't shouted about here, so expect simplicity rather than a site village. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions — check when you arrive. The vibe is low-key and peaceful, more about what's beyond the gate than what's laid on. Pack what you need, settle in, and let the glen do the rest.
