Loch Shin Glamping Pods: Lairg glamping chalets with loch views and farm animals
Amenities
Loch Shin Glamping Pods has four one-bedroom chalets set in a garden with a terrace, outdoor furniture, and a picnic area. The property includes an outdoor fireplace, BBQ facilities, an electric vehicle charging station, accessible parking, and free on-site private parking. A fire pit with firelighters, kindling, and wood is available from the owners for a small cost.
Chalet Accommodation
Each one-bedroom chalet at Loch Shin Glamping Pods has a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, a kitchenette, a dining area, and a sofa bed. A refrigerator, microwave, and patio with outdoor furniture are provided. The chalets provide lake and mountain views over Loch Shin.
Dining
The on-site BBQ facilities are available for outdoor cooking. The Antler, a mobile breakfast van on the property, serves morning coffee, hot chocolate, and breakfast rolls. Guests can receive fresh eggs from the owners' chickens at the croft.
Leisure
Hiking and cycling are available around Loch Shin; bicycle parking is provided on site. Dunrobin Castle is 39 km away; Carnegie Club Skibo Castle, Royal Dornoch Golf Club, and Dornoch Cathedral are 42 km away. Inverness Airport is 95 km from the property, and the chalets have served as a base for exploring the North Coast 500.
Families, Pets, and Croft Animals
Pets are allowed at Loch Shin Glamping Pods, so dogs can stay in the chalets. The croft is home to Highland cows, red deer, Swiss Valley sheep, alpacas, hens, and three cats. Hosts offer tours of the animals, and children can join the morning feeding rounds and collect eggs from the hens.
