Our Journey to Glenshee Glamping started almost five years ago with an idea conceived whilst on our own glamping holiday and is definitely the lifestyle change we were looking for. So, when we knew where we wanted to be, we packed up and moved 500 miles from Sussex to Perthshire.
Like many we wanted to spend more time as a family and we were keen for our children, Dylan, Finley and Arlo to experience the outdoors on a regular basis. Who wouldn’t want to have space to roam, animals to pet and care for and snow to sledge on in winter!
We were also keen to find a community that we could contribute to and become a part of, we recognised that although the community here was spread over a large rural area of Perthshire, it was a small one and everyone’s participation is welcomed and needed. This fell inline with our family values and appealed greatly to us.
2020 has been a challenging year for all, with so many affected, for us at the beginning of the year we had agreed to purchase a tourism business, which subsequently was not able to trade due to Covid-19 and delayed us taking ownership and moving in the spring of 2020 and during this time, we also had another unexpected surprise, we found out that baby number four was on the way!
We were stunned, what a year 2020 was turning out to be. Covid-19, moving to a new country (when permitted), a new business and a new-born due in August, could we still do it all? Were we crazy?
But for us it was about a leap of faith, a chance at a lifestyle change for all of us, to work together, spend more time together and to be able to touch and experience the great outdoors that Highland Perthshire has to offer.
The park also came with a number of animals, as you can imagine taking care of llamas was not in our skill set, neither was chasing around naughty donkeys and escaping goats. We have had to learn quicky, but it has generated much learning and laughter.
Due to the challenges that 2020 has brought with Covid-19 we have made changes to our accommodations replacing all within them, so we know where every item has come from but also to meet cleaning and management guidelines now and in the future.
Undoubtedly the biggest improvement, is the wash block renovation. We were extremely conscious that the block was dated, not only requiring a lick of paint but changes needed to meet future customer needs. We have replaced all the sanitary ware and re-jig the inside and the impact is amazing! No longer shared spaces, but individual bathrooms, which can be allocated when needed.
We remain incredibly positive for 2021 and know Scotland and our business and others like us have a great many things to offer its visitors.
For us we plan on continuing improvements to our accommodation, providing safe and natural spaces for children to explore, a wildlife pond for learning and possibly a few more goats!
My husband and I have been going to Glenshee since 2017 whilst it was under previous ownership. We have been fortunate enough to have seen the changes and improvements implemented by Nathan and Helena over the last few years and they are as much a reason to book as the facilities provided. They are two of the loveliest people who have put so much time and effort in to giving the space a new lease of life & it has paid off. The showering facilities have been greatly improved & the additions of a play area & additional family activities has been a much welcomed one. There is so much to utilise in terms of activities and extra space to use, the Bothy is super cosy and welcoming with the rustic vibe that you would expect & appreciate in a glamping experience. We have stayed in the Tummelberry Hut, Blackberry Hut and the cosy glamping pods and have utilised additional services including bedding packs & the hot tub. Both huts are spacious, comfortable and presented beautifully, with lovely amenities that make it feel like a home away from home, but that’s how it has always felt at Glenshee Glamping. More recently we have enjoyed the cosy glamping pods & have found this suitable for our needs, the pods are big enough to move freely and comfortably & cosy enough to relax and feel rejuvenated. The hot tubs are a great addition to the site and are super easy to keep heated, we were well informed on how to use ours & were both able to lie comfortably and relax. Glenshee is somewhere we found and booked randomly 8 years ago and now it has provided us the opportunity for escapism, relaxation and reconnection. It is the perfect getaway for anyone and I will never stop recommending it. Rooms: 5/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Child-friendly, Great value
