Luxurious glamping in Sutherland

Welcome to Ardgay Glamping Pods

We have two luxurious pods for you to experience the benefits of glamping and staying in Ardgay and the beautiful Kyle of Sutherland area.

The outdoor seating is the perfect place to relax in the tranquil surroundings after a day of exploring the local area.

Situated in the quiet, rural village of Ardgay, located within the world-famous North Coast 500 (NC500) scenic route, the pods are perfectly positioned for guests to enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits and visitor attractions. Located nearby are several woodland walks and forest trails where you can enjoy walking or mountain biking. There is boating/canoeing and fishing on the nearby Kyle of Sutherland including numerous rivers and lochs.

You can enjoy a game of golf at the excellent Bonar Bridge Golf Course dubbed the 'mini Gleneagles'. You could even try your hand at stalking with the Highland Shooting Centre. You can visit Croick Church, a poignant reminder of the Highland Clearances. There are a range of local whisky distilleries nearby, including Balblair, Glenmorangie, Dalmore and Clynelish distilleries.

Exploring the area

Ardgay is a small village on the Southwest shore of the Dornoch Firth, Sutherland, Scotland. The nearby village of Bonar Bridge is 1 mile south and lies at the entrance to Strathcarron, the valley of the River Carron at the mouth of the Kyle of Sutherland. In the centre of the village there is a Market Stone which was reportedly moved from Parish to Parish in former times as it marked the site for the local market.

Ardgay is located only a short drive from the Royal Burghs of Tain and Dornoch. The latter has a world-class golf course and a glorious beach. Ardgay is within easy reach of the market town of Dingwall and the city of Inverness, with its excellent leisure and shopping facilities.
