Hotel Details

Location

Located between Drymen and Killearn on the Gartness Road, about 15 minutes from Loch Lomond and 36 km from Glasgow Airport.
The property sits in a quiet, scenic rural area with views of farmland, just off the West Highland Way. It is 16 km from Mugdock Country Park and 22 km from Lake of Menteith, making it a practical base for walking and cycling. Glasgow Botanic Gardens and Glasgow Science Centre are within an easy drive. Guests staying here benefit from free private parking on-site, so a car is the most practical way to explore the region. The location is particularly suited for those seeking a peaceful escape from the city, with direct access to walking trails.

Accommodation

Two glamping pods: the Heft (double bed, hot tub, no pets) and the Hirsel (double bed plus sofa bed, dog-friendly).
Each pod is a self-contained unit with a kitchenette featuring a two-ring electric hob, microwave, and dining table. Enjoy a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The living area includes a seating area, flat-screen TV with streaming services via a 4G dongle, and parquet floors. Outdoor facilities include a balcony or terrace with garden furniture, a picnic area, and a fire pit with a grill. The Heft pod is for couples (double bed only, no sofa bed, not dog-friendly) and includes a private hot tub. The Hirsel pod is larger (double bed plus sofa bed), dog-friendly (one dog only, £25 fee), and does not include a hot tub. Both are noted for being clean, tidy, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable home-from-home feel.

Leisure

Private hot tub in the Heft pod, and sun loungers and a fire pit for outdoor relaxation.
The Heft pod has a private hot tub, free of charge, which is a key feature for relaxation. Both pods provide sun loungers and outdoor seating, allowing guests to enjoy the countryside views and peaceful setting. A fire pit with a grill is available, perfect for evening use. The property also has a garden, terrace, and picnic area. These features make the stay well-suited for guests seeking quiet, restorative leisure without leaving the property.
