  • Well-equipped luxury glamping pod in the countryside near Elgin
  • A hour’s drive to Inverness; Speyside Whisky Trail 30 minutes
  • Part of a farm with Highland cows and pet sheep
If you’re after the quiet life accompanied by more than a dash of luxury, Glampods should definitely hit the spot. Set in acres of secluded Elgin farmland, this cleverly designed glamping pod was hand-built with sheer comfort in mind. Your spacious holiday home is kitted out with a well-designed kitchen and living area, plenty of storage and a shower in the bathroom. It sleeps five sleeps easily, and a travel cot and high chair are available for toddlers (please bring bedding for the cot). Nifty extras include underfloor heating (bliss after a day out walking the hills or first thing in the morning), a wifi connection and smart TV. On long summer evenings, the decking and firepit come into their own for alfresco family barbecues. You can pick up bits for grilling in Elgin, a handy town 10 minutes’ drive away, and if you want a night off from cooking, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs round and about. Your nearest neighbours will be the farm’s Highland cattle and friendly Valais Blacknose sheep, and yet you could be spotting dolphins in the Moray Firth or sampling single malt whisky in less than 30 minutes, and Inverness airport is only a hour away.

Local attractions

Although it’s tempting to stay put in your luxury pod, the thought of tasting single malts at eight distilleries on the Speyside Whisky Trail (30 minutes’ drive) will surely be calling you. If you’re after other typically Scottish goodies, head to Fochabers (also 30 minutes) to pick up haggis, or browse the craft shops in Elgin (10 minutes) for tartan scarves and handmade kilts. Jump in the car and in half an hour you can be strolling along North Sea beaches to old-world fishing villages like Findhorn or Lossiemouth, on walks deep in ancient Roseisle Forest or playing a round of golf at Kinloss. In summer, kids can swim at Nairn (30 minutes) beach or outdoor pool, and when snow falls, let them loose on the nursery slopes at Aviemore (an hour). Chances are, however, that they'll nag until you take them to see the dolphins playing in Moray Firth. Although there’s no guarantee with wildlife, you might just spot them from Burghead (10 minutes).
