Warm & cosy. Lovely and isolated - amazin stars as we got a clear night! Perfect instructions to get there.

Kate United Kingdom

Very homely,the little extras were nice (fairy lights around pod.Bed very comfortable

Morag United Kingdom

Steve met us upon arriving at the cottage and was very friendly and welcoming. He showed us up to the nest which was very cosy and had everything we needed. Despite being in the middle of November the nest was very warm and comfortable. The shower and toileting facilities were very good, although I'm 6ft 5 so I struggled to actually fit underneath 😄 but still did the job. The firepit was great and a lovely touch on a cold Highland evening. Steve has some great recommendations for your journey onward through Loch Lomond and North to the Isle of Skye (thank you for the Glen Etive suggestion, we absolutely loved it). Make sure to say hello to Monty and Digger, the dogs are very friendly and made friends with them very quickly. Thank you Steve and Sonja for a fantastic experience 👏🏼

Beautiful surroundings, very cosy and comfy for a night, and the host, Sonja, was just lovely.

Stephanie United Kingdom

The location was excellent, very remote. Unfortunately due to covid there wasnt much open around the area however I managed to supply myself with breakfast and it was a delight.

Blair United Kingdom

We stayed at The Nest for 4 nights for our honeymoon. The whole stay was perfect and just peaceful. Everything was so clean and cosy. The way The Nest is situated, you really feel like you are lost in nature. Being woken by birdsong, then watching the stars and bats by the fire at night. It was nothing short of heaven. We live in a busy town and this was the getaway we desperately needed. Sonja and Steve were so accommodating and welcoming and we can't wait to return again next year! Thank you for everything X

  • Hi I have booked for the 22nd March to the 24th March, I was just wondering if a low vw polo would be okay on the roads to the glamming pod?

    Hi Polo will be fine. On the single track road you do need to drive to the left side to avoid where the camber is a little high in the middle of the road in places but apart from that my old Audi TT (which was low)used to be fine on the road.

  • Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me what the road was like getting to your cabin thinking of booking for start of Feb and this look perfect for myself and my partner. However, I've only been driving for just under a year. Thanks, Teri.

    HI It is a quiet single track road up from the village. The last part is unsurfaced but any car can get down it and if you take your time you will be fine

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.
