Howe of Torbeg

Shepherd's Hut & wooden Pod Glamping situated just outside the village of Ballater, in the heart of Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms. Nestled in Glen Gairn, surrounded by farmland and Birch woods, experience the tranquillity of the glen and easy access to all that the surrounding area has to offer. For camping with creature comforts, stay in one of our 4 wooden pods, or our gorgeous Shepherd's Hut

. Fully insulated, with a heater and electricity, each pod also has its own fire pit and picnic bench – perfect for BBQs or nights under the stars! Our Shepherd's Hut is off-grid with excellent solar lighting & a wood burning Hobbit stove. Free showers onsite in our fully heated, environmentally conscious shower block. A great base for exploring the local area or further afield, or just a pleasant place to while away a few days.... Direct access to gorgeous walks, hiking and cycling, as well as proximity to two of the National Park’s ski resorts and all of the tourist attractions of Royal Deeside. Also a perfect stopping off point if you’re touring the scenic Snow Road route.

“The site at Torbeg is the perfect combination of isolation, serenity and beauty - without being too far off the beaten track.” Chris, Edinburgh. Howe of Torbeg is a family business, owned and run by Iain and Nicole Gildea, who also live on site.
