  • Luxurious dog-friendly glamping pod with views over Loch Ness
  • Walk to Loch Ness, the Falls of Divach and Urquhart Castle
  • A kitchenette, ensuite and private parking; footpaths from the village
Looking to Loch Ness for breaks made up of cruising across lochs, horse riding, cycling or fishing? Coiltie Glampod is a glamping pod in Glen Coiltie on the outskirts of Drumnadrochit, designed for those who like their creature comforts. With views of Loch Ness and a dog-friendly status (up to two dogs are welcome free of charge), there’s lots to like about this place… Dubbed a ‘glampod’, the hand-built microlodge is very much luxurious, fully insulated with underfloor heating and a UPVC external door and windows. It’s been designed for two adults (and up to two dogs) to unwind surrounded by native trees and bracken in a peaceful private patch with private parking. There’s a double bed with ample storage options, bedding towels and an ensuite bathroom with a sink, toilet and full-sized shower. What else? The lounge has doggy bedding, bowls and treats, and a folding table and chairs for tucking into whatever you rustle up in the kitchenette. The facilities there include hand-built kitchen units, a mini Belfast sink, two-ring induction hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster, as well as crockery, pots and pans, glassware, cutlery and kitchen utensils. Fed and re-energised, look to the number of signposted walks that start in the Drumnadrochit car park. The village is 25 minutes’ walk away and has all your typical amenities like shops and pubs. The Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition is just half an hour’s walk for those of you that want to hunt her down pronto too. Back at your Scottish Highlands pad, you’ve got plenty of ways to unwind upon your return: wifi, Bluetooth speakers, a Smart TV and a welcome pack. Enjoy chilled-out evenings in the private garden, which has plenty of seating.

Camping pod

Liked I stayed at Coiltie Glampod for 3 nights while touring Loch Ness with family, giving me a private space but close proximity to join the exploration with my nephews looking for Nessie.

The POD was exactly as advertised and everything that I was hoping for, I can't rate this place high enough. It's located in a quiet and peaceful space up from the main village with everything walking distance and really close.

The owner John, was very welcoming and friendly. It was everything I was hoping for and a great base to explore Loch Ness, Inverness, Culloden, Nairn and the surrounding area.

First time staying in a glampod and it was a 100% positive experience, would highly recommend this accommodation to single and couples travelling in the area.

From the manager: Thank you Neil for your positive feedback. I’m so pleased we ticked all your boxes.

Best wishes

Liked We stayed at Coiltie Glampod for 2 nights while we toured Isle of Skye and cannot rate this place enough! It was fabulous! It was so quiet and peaceful and we really enjoyed listening to the birds and the River Coiltie. The owner, John, was very welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed having a good chat. The POD itself was so comfy and cozy, we didn’t want to leave! The shower was warm and inviting after a cold rainy day. The under floor heating was a bonus and if we brought our dog along (which you can!), we know where the dog would have slept. The floor was that toasty warm! The POD has a cute kitchenette, generous sized fridge/freezer, stove for cooking and utensils - everything you need. Tea, coffee, sugar, pint of milk in the fridge was waiting for us and even a pack of biscuits! The local shops are only 15min walk down the road. We absolutely adored our stay! Thankyou!

Camping pod

Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Coiltie Glampod.
We had a bit of a nightmare journey (car trouble) but it was so lovely to be welcomed with coffee, milk, and biscuits and the dog LOVED his snacks too!
The pod was immaculate, had all of the essentials needed for a comfortable stay and is in such a beautiful and peaceful location and we watched the most stunning sunrises towards the Loch.
Thank you to John for his advice on the best places to eat and visit.
We hope to book again soon.
Helen, Craig, Alex and Ronnie the dog.

Local attractions

With such a prime location in Urquhart Bay, you might want to begin by exploring the lochside ruins that are the Urquhart Castle (55 minutes’ walk or five minutes’ drive) – there’s a former prison cell and a climbable tower. Hunt down some local waterfalls – at only 15 minutes’ walk from the site, the Falls of Divach could make a pretty spectacular post-breakfast stroll. As for other gorgeous Highland landscapes, get out over glens like Glen Urquhart (half an hour) and Glen Moriston (50 minutes). Inverness (half an hour), which has quite the offering too: a big swimming pool, a museum and art gallery and over Victorian footbridges on the river Ness, walks between the pines on the Ness Islands. If you want more hikes after that, the 79-mile-long Great Glen Way begins in Inverness and ends at Fort William in the west or there are trails in Abriachan (15 minutes).
