About Craskie Glamping Pods

Craskie is an exclusive, family-run site with just four glamping pods. The cosy pods are ideal for those wishing to explore the Highlands by bike or on foot and there are many mountains to climb. The Affric-Kintail and Great Glen ways are right on your doorstep, great for days out hiking. Guests can get really close to nature with wild red deer grazing the fields, badgers and pine martens passing by at night and occasionally an otter playing in the river. For those travelling as a two, there is the choice of the twin glamping pod and double glamping pod. The site also has two family glamping pods which sleep four in a double bed and two singles. Each of the pods come equipped with heating, lighting, electricity and USB charging points for keeping gadgets charged up. Bedding/towels are also provided so you are able to pack light! You will also be supplied with tea and coffee, pots and pans, plus a microwave for quick cooking and a kettle. Even the supplies for a tasty BBQ are in place with charcoal and firelighters provided by the site. Why not enjoy breakfast on your private decked terrace overlooking Loch Craskie, with table and chairs supplied for al fresco dining. Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay if you are in the double or family glamping pods.

A note from the site themselves...

We are Ben and Leila and we will be your hosts here in Cannich. In 2010, we had our first trip to Scotland where we stayed with our dogs on the west coast. This trip sparked the start of our love affair with the Highlands and we were married on the shores of beautiful Loch Torridon only two years later in 2012.

It was not long after that we decided we had to make the Highlands our home, so the hunt for a location where we could also run a business from began. After many tireless months of searching, we finally found Craskie Estate in June 2014 and just two months later we moved our life from West Yorkshire and have never looked back!

Camping Pod - Family Glamping Pods (Pet Friendly)May 2024

Craskie was the final accomodation for our very first roadtrip before our return to Edinburgh, and it surpassed my expectations having a glimpse of estate living. The views were incredible and there's nothing much to say, you have to be there. The hospitality was great as we got to try some eggs. The pods had everything we needed for crazy cooks like my family who cant live a day without any gourmet. My parents from Hong Kong had a really good time and that's all that matters to me. Craskie concluded our trip perfectly.

Great time in family in a wild environment

I stayed 5 nights end of October in Craskie Glamping with my wife and our two children (10 and 6 years old). The site is incredibly beautiful with amazing views and wildlife. We had such a great family time there!

Camping Pod - Family Glamping Pods (Pet Friendly)Oct 2023

A beautiful setting for the pods. Our pod was very cosy and roomy, even with our dog. We had an amazing view from the door - lots of deer roaming about. Would be lovely to sit on the decking on a summer's evening and enjoy the solitude.
