One of my favourite stays in Scotland. The location was incredibly peaceful and was a great change from the city. Sonja and Steve were both super helpful and informative. Sonja was lovely enough to help us reserve a spot for dinner. Steve gave us some cool tips for the rest of our roadtrip. And of course the 3 puppies were great fun as well. I felt very at peace here. It was super cute as well with everything you need! I woke up early and had great little walk on the trail, saw the barn owl and loved the bird songs. Can't wait to come back!

Our hosts were incredible. They greeted us on arrival, explained everything, gave us very good tips on eating out and places to go and visit. They were so welcoming and helpful. With our dog 🐶 as well. The surroundings are stunning, very peaceful, perfect for getting away from everything. The Bed was very comfy. The Bathroom was bigger than expected. And spotless clean.

Warm and cozy wee pod . great for exploring . unfortunately we had rain so couldn't make use of the nice wee firepit area outside but we could still sit and have wine in the covered porch area. Helpful Friendly hosts .

Sonja & Steve
The Nest is a brand new (2019) glamping cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Located in the grounds of Ardteatle in the Scottish Highlands this gorgeous little cabin allows you to relax, get back to nature, enjoy beautiful views whilst having a bbq. The area has zero light pollution and gives guests the opportunity to get away from their busy lives and relish the local wildlife and magnificent views. Well behaved dogs welcome. The Nest built March 2019 is spacious enough for 2 but small enough to be cosy. This glamping pod is designed for those looking to enjoy the natural environment, living the outdoor life but with comfortable accommodation to come back to after enjoying a day roaming the stunning Scottish highlands. The pod has a comfy double bed with bedding provided, microwave, mini fridge and a kettle for a morning tea or coffee. Bathroom with toilet, hand basin and shower. Outdoor seating, bbq and fire pit. The Nest overlooks stunning scenery in a secluded spot 2 miles from Dalmally, 15 miles from Tyndrum and 40 mins from Oban. A great stopping off point if you are visiting the islands
We are a pair of happy travellers who are just as happy to share hints and tips with you as we are to leave you in peace.
The glamping pod is situation in a rural area off the beaten track. There is zero light pollution and little to do except enjoy nature and relax while you stay. We are within close proximity to Ben Cruahcan, Kilchurn Castle and some absolutely stunning walks. We are just off the road to Oban, 15 mins from the West Highland Way.
