Get in touch with us below to chat about planning a hen party.
Perfect spaces for gathering
We have several remarkable spaces, of various sizes for parties or hanging out.
From the warm, welcoming and spacious Woodshed to our truly iconic Discovery and Adventure Centre. We also have a cinema and a BYOB pub, which might be the best pub in Scotland (it’s certainly the smallest).
Elsewhere we have a breakout spaces for games and good times, including The Smiddy, Garden Camp, The Seed Store and much more.
Landscape and accommodation
We offer some of the best self-catering accommodation in the UK, all set within 15,000 acres of wilderness, ancient forest and rolling moorland.
We are detail-driven and design-led and every object is chosen with passion and expertise. Each property has the finest bed linen, a wood-fired hot tub, and serious art.
This is the perfect place for you and your group to spend a few days.
Extraordinary Experiences
When we started Glen Dye Cabins and Cottages, we were very clear what we wanted to offer, the best self-catering holiday accommodation anywhere in an incredible location, run by passionate people and with amazing experiences attached.
And so, we created a Discovery and Adventure Centre that offers everything from guided cold water and sauna experience to Axe Throwing in the forest. We also have the Adventure Trail for plenty of fun with family or friends.
This is our niche, we have experts that really know what they’re doing.
