Morven J11 September 2024 Best place we have ever stayed and first time glamping! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for such a wonderful stay. We honestly couldn't have wanted for anything. Even the weather was amazing! My husband was blown away with his birthday surprise and said that a lifetime ambition has been ticked off his bucket list as he got to live like a hobbit in a real hobbit house. So once again, thank you for the experience. Owen L31 August 2024 Utterly bonkers, totally amazing ! We stayed in the Green Burrow, truly wonderful environment, away from it all but still in easy reach of civilisation, my wife did not know where we were staying and the look on her face when we got to our little home for two nights was something special. Thank you for creating this amazing place - strongly recommended for a unique experience - we'll be back ............. ps - eggs from the Wee Shop are a must try item ! Nicola C11 August 2024 Perfect place to get away and relax What a place!! Lovely part of Scotland. It was our anniversary weekend. We stayed in the Summer Howf and could not have asked for more. The hot tub was lovely and no problems collecting keys etc, we just followed the instructions on the email and the notice board. Heather even offered to light our stove, as we were rubbish at keeping it going. There is a well stocked honesty shop. Bearing in mind this is someone's home we are using, we had privacy,it was quiet and 100% worth the price, we will hopefully be back. Solene4 July 2024 Bag end Howf Amazing hidden place, we chose the bag end howf (Hobbit). The site is big with other small howfs, animals and nature. Perfect for couples or with a friend. The howf was clean, with little easter eggs, everything we needed to cook, bed was comfortable. Had to get use to the toilet but we got the hang of it after a while. Loved the little honesty shop as well and not far from a little city by car f you want to get more groceries. It can get very cold even in summer so I was really glad to have the wood stove and two warm blankets! I absolutely recommend for an immersive break in nature and if you're a fan of the Hobbit! Jackie A13 May 2024 One of the best experiences ever ❤️ Stayed at Bagend Hobbit Hoose. What an experience. This is a must for LOTR fans. Even if you're not a fan I'd be amazed if you didn't find this whole experience amazing. The walks were beautiful and the variety of animals fab. Honesty shop has loads of choice. The only problem is what Howf to try next xxx Katherine L17 February 2024 Tied for the #1 highlight of or Scotland tour The cottages at Craighead Howf are like stepping inside your favorite dreams! We stayed in the hobbit holes and they were perfectly appointed and just the right size and ambience for a couple of nights during our Scotland tour. The bath was glorious, the bed comfy, the kitchenette easy to use with all necessary tools & cookware. There is a wee shop onsite if your forget or run out of certain essentials. The entire farm is a place of tranquility and beauty as far as the eye can see. I wish we had more days there and I wish I could go back tomorrow. Heather and Ian are the kindest most accommodating hosts ever. Just a delight in every single way. Please note, while there is hot & cold running water and overhead lights, it is Glamping after all, so there are no outlets…if you require power either for a CPAP machine or whatever, bring a battery pack that can handle it. Alyson K30 October 2023 Wonderful we have just returned from a stay at the Burrow and if ever there was a place that was so good for mind, body & soul then this is it. From the minute you arrive you feel at peace. The red burrow was full of surprises and the attention to detail was outstanding. Truly a magical place and the craftsmanship was outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful time, we will be back Tim D15 October 2023 Absolutely wonderful We stayed in the Whisky Howf for two nights. It is a beautiful drive up to accommodation and clear self service instructions await guests on arrival. The accommodation was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Lovely little touches like a small bottle of prosecco and chocolates on the bed were a nice surprise. The accommodation itself was a good size for a couple and contained everything one would require for a self catering stay. The Howf itself is absolutely gorgeous inside and filled us both with a magical warmth. Being October the Howf gets rather chilly but the log burning stove supplies an excellent heat once it's on the go. This was set for us arriving and very simple to light. We also loved visiting the wee honesty shop they have onsite. It's filled with essentials as well as fresh eggs from their own ducks, chickens and guinea fowls.Overall a wonderful experience and one we cannot wait to repeat again. Absolutely magical! aflices27 September 2023 Wonderful Stay We stayed in the Green Burrow in September 2023 for 2 nights as a couple. We booked this howf as we are Lord of the Rings fans and wanted a peaceful escape in the countryside. There were loads of cute nods to the LOTR films but I won't spoil these for others. We also chose the green burrow as it's at the end of the path, tucked away from the rest of the accommodation site. We felt very comfortable in our howf, with a comfy bed and everything else that we needed for our stay, like a log burner, gas stove, crockery, bath with shower head, etc. Pretty sure Bilbo would be happy here. :) The toilet was in a room right next door to the main living area, which was a bit annoying having to go outside to go next door to the loo, and it was a compost toilet, however, it was fine overall - we got used to it. We loved all of the cool animals on the farm. The Wee Shop sold fresh farm eggs. We bought some guinea fowl and duck eggs for breakfast and they were delicious. We would love to return one day in the future for another special stay. Thank you to the team at Craighead for providing such a fantastic and unique experience so close to home.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
