Hillside Havens

Luxury Glamping pod.......most definitely! We were in the pod with the large garden, although the others with hot tubs also had what looked like a good sized private space too. We have stayed in a few wooden pods over the years and this was by far the best! Roomy, comfortable couch to relax on, proper bed. Kitchen well equipped. Outside absolutely amazing! Private space, lovely views. Fire pit and hot tub were great. Walking distance to Dufftown only a 15 minute walk along a path, so easy to have a meal/drinks out.

We went here for a belated honeymoon after getting married in November. Well, what can I say about this place? OUTSTANDING!!!!! The communication between the owners Tracy and Andrew before our trip was 1st class. The weather was really bad with snow but we still made the journey and they kept us updated right up until our departure to advise us of road conditions and which road to take that would be safer for us. When we arrived they were there to help us park our car safely as the snow was really deep. We got to our pod and the woodfired hot tub was already warming for us and the underfloor heating was on which meant the pod was nice and toastie which we were so grateful for. We couldn't get our car out the next day due to the snow but Tracy offered to get us some supplies if we needed them but we opted for a walk in the snow to the village of Dufftown to which we're glad we did. We were met with friendly people wherever we went. We ended up having to stay an extra night and nothing was too much trouble for Tracy and Andrew and they could not have done enough for us. The Hot tub was amazing and the pod was so comfortable, warm and spotless. We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked to stay for a week in the summer, only this time with our kids and our wee dog,rather than go abroad as planned. We honestly can't thank Tracy and Andrew enough for their hospitality and kindness and they are a credit to the community. So if you're thinking of going to stay here, then all I can say is DO IT, you won't be disappointed.

Very peaceful location. The accommodation was excellent and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Very clean and everything you would need for cooking. Lovely fire pit and the outdoor area was very spacious with lovely views. Would definitely stay again
