Heather
A luxurious glamping pod in the Ayrshire countryside featuring a private wood-fired hot tub, mezzanine king-size bed, and stunning views of the Dark Sky Park.
If you are looking for a romantic escape where you can truly reconnect with nature, Heather is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the stunning Ayrshire countryside near the conservation village of Straiton, this beautifully designed pod offers a touch of luxury in a wild and peaceful setting. It is the perfect spot for couples (and their dog) who want to unwind under the stars and explore the beauty of southwest Scotland.
Inside, the pod is cleverly designed to maximise space and comfort. The open-plan living area on the ground floor features a modern kitchen and dining space, plus a cosy lounge with an electric stove, perfect for snuggling up after a day of adventure. Climb the stairs to the mezzanine level, where you will find a luxurious king-size bed that feels like a private nest. A modern shower room completes the accommodation.
Outside is where this pod really comes alive. You have your own private terrace with furniture, a barbecue, and a fire pit for cosy evenings under the stars. For the ultimate indulgence, step into the private wood-fired hot tub. It is a magical place to soak in the warm water, listen to the crackling fire, and gaze up at the incredible starry skies of the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park.
The location is perfect for exploring the great outdoors. The Galloway Forest Park is right on your doorstep, offering 300 square miles of wild beauty, rugged rock faces, and ancient woodland. You can walk into the pretty village of Straiton for a coffee or a pub meal, or head to the coast to visit the seaside towns of Ayr and Troon. Whether you are hiking the Ayrshire Coastal Path or simply relaxing in your hot tub, Heather offers an unforgettable rural retreat. The owners, Elaine and Nick, are known for their warm welcome and helpful local tips, ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect stay.
