We provide pretty much all you need
Here at Glenshee Glamping we offer the use of a traditional Scottish bothy that over the years has been modernised as a shared kitchen and food prepping space for our guests. With banquet style table and benches our bothy is where country Kitchen meets scandinavian dinning hall and its cosy fire offers our guests a place to relax, unwind and meet other glampers. Located opposite our reception area, the bothy is the first building you meet on the left as you arrive to check in and is available for you to use throughout your stay with us. Please note: The Bothy is restricted for use of our Glamping Guests only, if you are camping then you have sole use of the Campers Kitchen and Sink Shack.
Enjoy breakfast in the Bothy, cook up a warming meal or prepare a packed lunch read for a day exploring in glenshee.
Each pod has a small selection of Tea & Coffe for your arrival, however, you will want to stock up on every day food essentials such as milk, bread, and maybe some bacon if you plan to make a traditional scottish breakfast.
You are on holidays afterall, so why not treat yourself to lunch or dinner in some of our traditional eateries that are all within a short distance from Glenshee Glamping. From cosy pubs to seafood restaurants, there is something for every occasion.
What is a Bothy? A common question we are asked here at Glenshee Glamping.
A bothy was a basic shelter / accommodation that were usually left unlocked and available for anyone to use. Ususally found in remote, mountainou areas of Scotland, the word Bothy originates from the Gaelic word 'Bothan'
The Glampers Bothy dates back to 1812 and is the original sleeping accomodation for the farm workers, it's thick stone walls now enclose a great space for cooking and dining or simply hanging out.
We provide pretty much all you need:
knives and forks,
pots and pans,
mugs, glasses and plates
With 2 sinks for washing up and a safe area for you to cook using our two gas hobs or microwave oven. Plus small electric oven - perfect for Chips or Pizza! There are two fridges and a freezer to keep your food and drink tip top.
With electric sockets for charging, radiators & a wood burning stove with clothes drying above, the Bothy is a toasty warm place to chill even when it is snowing outside.
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

Absolutely first class. From website details, booking and staying. Excellent location for us skiing. Pods are beautiful and cosy. Wood fired hot tub and fire pit is an absolute must, especially after a days skiing. Finally, The Bothy was an added bonus that we didn’t think we would need. But was fully kitted out with everything possible and loved the communal feel. Can’t recommend enough. Well done Helena and Nathan, you’ll definitely be seeing us again! Xx
