Glamping in Aberdeenshire
1 August 2016
So you’ve tried hotels and self-catering cottages but what’s next in tourism accommodation? Glamping could be the perfect solution for you, providing all weather accommodation and facilities from the basic to luxurious essentials whilst still offering you an off-grid, relaxed and alternative place to stay.
Whether it’s a ‘Hobbit’ or an eco pod, Aberdeenshire has some great glamping locations and here is a listing of the some of Aberdeenshire’s finest glamping experiences:
High Seas Hobbits/Coastal Carriage/Harvest Hut (New for 2016) nr. Rosehearty
Carole and Matthew Short live and farm on land near Rosehearty and have created 3 distinctive glamping experiences for you to enjoy:
The two ‘Hobbits’ which offer a self contained and ‘fully-equiped’ home.
Coastal Carriage offering you a vintage rail carriage experience.
Harvest Hut (New for 2016): an old mill hut transformed into a wonderful and quirky glamping space.
Barley Bothy nr. Huntly
Where getting back to nature and spending quality time with loved ones is what a stay at Barley Bothy is all about.
Westwood Hideaway nr. Strichen
A fully enclosed, weather proof structure with a luxurious interior providing a comfortable and unique place to stay.
Greenpark Wigwams – Royal Deeside
Located adjacent to the Burn of Canny the Wigwam can accommodate up to four people, but are ideal for two sharing.
Greenley Croft Wigwam between Gardenstown and Pennan nr. Crovie
The Greenley Croft Wigwam site includes just one en-suite Wigwam, making it one of our most peaceful and secluded glamping destinations.
I have recently been glamping for the first time with my partner and my 4 and 7 year old girls and we thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to go again. It was such a different experience to normal life with amazing views and even though we were only away for night we felt we had been away for days and came home fully relaxed and chilled out.
We’re blessed in Aberdeenshire with amazing countryside and stunning coastline so why not book your glamping stay and come and enjoy the best of what North East Scotland has to offer.
