  • Barbecues and firepits sold on site; private decking areas to relax
Your Highland escape is looking mighty fine at Lairg Glamping Pods, 40 minutes’ drive away from Lairg. With views of Ben Kilbreck, Ben Hope and Ben Hee, you’ll have an excellent backdrop for a morning brew on your decking, a barbecue dinner or a late-night firepit. The pods (or ‘snugs', as the site likes to call them) are named after the mountains in the distance and they’re all very cosy… Each pod has a convenient daybed that sleeps two guests, as well as a kitchen area with one gas hob, a sink, fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster. There’s a separate wet room with a spacious shower, toilet and sink (towels are provided) and a small TV, bedding, wifi and gas central heating. Humans aren’t the only visitors here. It's not unusual to spot red kites, woodpeckers, red squirrels, buzzards, hares and the occasional deer or black grouse. Two of the mountains in the distance are listed Munros, and there are lochs for views too. It’s a five-minute drive to Loch Shin and local villages from the site's quiet croft. All that might have you wondering what activities can be hunted down locally. Paddleboard hire, golf, fishing, birdwatching, hill walking or cycling are all excellent options, and you might want to visit a castle or whisky distillery. This is a handy location for a Highlands break, as it's in such a central spot. Each glamping pod has private parking, a fenced decking area with outdoor seating and comfy deckchairs available. Just purchase a disposable barbecue or a firepit from the site when you’re ready for some alfresco dining. There’s also a secure bike shed on site where guests can park a bike or hang up wet jackets.

Local attractions

Which of the ‘Bens’ will you go and greet first? Ben Klibreck (half an hour’s drive), 962 metres above moors? Ben Hee (55 minutes), a wild and peaceful 865-metre peak? Ben Hope (an hour and five minutes), which just so happens to be the most northerly munro in Scotland? Munro bagging completed, another Scottish landscape speciality is its lochs. Get stuck into fishing and watersports at Loch Shin (from five minutes) before making your way back onto dry land… In the woods around Balblair (10 minutes), there are mountain biking trails for those itching to pick up the pace. Those who prefer to take in the scenery at a slower pace can ramble around the Falls of Shin Forest Walks (10 minutes) or get trigger-happy at The Highland Shooting Centre (20 minutes).
