The Bothy
The perfect place to enjoy the sunrise. The Bothy is the perfect manifestation of our vision for Glen Dye.
It’s comfortable, characterful, and finished to the highest standard. In the garden, we’ve built an outdoor kitchen (made traditionally, using no nails) complete with a Green Egg barbecue and there’s a private Swedish wood-fired hot tub, too.
The Bothy sleeps two in a luxury king-sized bed. Beyond the bedroom there is an inviting kitchen, diner and lounge area and a bathroom with a shower. It sits adjacent to The Old Lodge which dates from the 1700s and is the oldest house on Glen Dye by some way.
You will have access to The Glen Dye Arms, our BYOB pub complete with a roaring log fire and a record player, and also to Garden Camp, our new shared recreation area. Here you will find some classic outdoor games, and a cozy indoor space with a wood-burning stove for rainy day activities. You can collect seasonal vegetables from the vegetable garden, subject to availability and the growing season, and eggs from our own hens. The Glen Dye General Stores is our tiny but well-stocked shop, where you will find local produce and excellent souvenirs as well as more prosaic stuff like dog poo bags etc.
If you haven’t already done so, don’t forget to book a private session in our state of the art electric sauna down at the Discovery and Adventure Centre. There’s a cold shower or cold water dip tanks there too, to complete the experience.

Cuttieshillock
An exceptional ancient stone house on the fringes of the forest. A detached house with a traditional cottage look fashioning two front doors that sleeps 6.
It has a large kitchen with a washing machine and tumble dryer, a dining room, a good-sized sitting room, a family bathroom upstairs and a loo downstairs. Plus, there’s a large outbuilding that we’ve converted in an artist’s/writer’s studio/hang out space complete with a wood burner. There is a private wood-fired sauna, complete with a cold shower for the full experience. There is also a private wood-fired hot tub.
Cuttieshillock is 4 miles from the main hub of Glen Dye and sits on the edge of the Glen Dye forest with amazing views and endless walks on your doorstep. And, when we say Cuttieshillock is ancient, we mean it. For centuries it was an inn, and troops rested there before battle in the Jacobite Rebellion (nearly 300 years ago).

A cottage perfect for four people. A truly beautiful cottage interior with an even more tremendous view.
