Good glamping experience, small fire pit with some grill racks in an enclosed group of trees gives you privacy and somewhere decent to have a small BBQ. First time glamping so cant compare with others but we really enjoyed our stay and the host, Jenny was fantastic and very informative about what to do in the area, She sells burgers from her own farm and I highly recommend trying some over your little BBQ. The pods themselves were nice, warm and clean and the two separate beds we had could be made into one big king-size bed with loads of room. I'm 6ft 4 and weigh 16st and felt comfortable. Highly recommend and would be happy to stay here again

Glamping at its best! Our wooden pods are extremely comfortable, they are heated and sleep up to 4 persons. Please take your own sleeping bags, or bedding, pillows or hire these from the site at an additional charge. The pods have a raised platform with a luxury permeable mattress. They have modern comforts with heating, TV and fairy lights to illuminate the pod at night. Each pod has its own camp fire and we supply wood and kindle, burgers to cook over the fire etc You are going to experience beautiful open countryside with sheep or cows close by. There is a communal kitchen for cooking.
I am from this farming area in Caithness. the people are open and friendly. Caithness is beautiful, and quiet, plenty open spaces to enjoy walks on Dunnet Beach, Duncansby Stacks & around Dunnet Head. Various boat trips around the coastline or day trip across to Orkney.
We are situated in the North of Scotland. We have 3 Pods which are positioned on the perimeter of our farm in open countryside. We are 10 miles from Wick 10 miles from Thurso and 12 miles from John O' Groats. There are fabulous beaches, walks and coastal paths where you can clearly see the birdlife eg. Puffins, Guillemots and Fulmur and sealife, seals or orcas. The Castle of Mey -The late Queen Mother’s home and gardens. The Puffin Croft near John O’ Groats. Castletown Heritage Centre. This area is abundant in quality produce whether seafood, lamb or beef. There is a selection of excellent eateries in Caithness. Locally produced Whisky, Gin and Beer several of which have been recognised and hold top awards. This area is steeped in heritage and you will find both towns have fabulous museums to explore. Also craft shops to peruse.
