Inspired by #Winterwatch which was fantastic all last week (& live from the Cairngorms!) we've been doing a bit of bird watching 🐦Loads of blue tits and coal tits, of course the Robins who our very own Robin Pod is named after, and our resident Woodpecker were all frequent visitors this week ☺️ #birds #howeoftorbeg #wildlife

If you haven't heard already, Lecht 2090, the ski hill nearest to Howe of Torbeg, has purchased an all-singing all-dancing snow factory and will be opening some slopes early this season, in December! Even more reasons to book a stay with us - get to that snow first! They will be posting regular updates on their pages as to what might be open & when. This weekend it will just be the Wren Magic Carpet, but as production continues should see some more cover and weekend opening in December fingers crossed!

How lovely to find not one but two handwritten thank you notes in the Pods after check out this morning 😊 #winning

We stayed in the family pod for a few days and had such a wonderful time. The facilities were lovely and the pod was comfortable. The owners were great and made us feel really welcome. The views are simply stunning and as it is small it has a lovely homely feel, there are loads of walks and places to visit near by and Ballater is close by for everything you might have forgotten!

Thank you Nicola for your lovely hospitality, Amy and myself had a wonderful three nights camping, the scenery is wonderful, and the facilities are great, and love the tea shack, will be definitely back soon.

Such a beautiful setting! The pods are comfortable and so clean! The shower/toilet block with kitchen sink area was spotless also.

Nicole was so friendly and helpful! We enjoyed two nights in the pods cooking our breakfast, lunch and dinner on the fire pit & enjoyed some drinks in the evening, again with the fire blazing as the sun went down. A little piece of heaven.

Stayed here for a long weekend to ride the Snow Roads on our Motorbikes. Had a great time. Will definitely stay again. Nicole & Iain are great hosts & nothing is too much trouble. They have thought of everything with added little extras. Showers & Toilets spotless. Views are amazing would definitely recommend staying here if you fancy a bit of Glamping! Thanks to you both for making our first time "posh" camping a great experience from Julie & John.

Stayed for the weekend a week or so ago as me and my friend Dan were on a munro bagging expedition in the area, i have to say, absolutely fantastic, clean everything, electricity to our tents, breakfast was outrageously good, the kindling kit for the fire was awesome and the friendly service was the icing on the cake. I really hope these guys do really well, they thoroughly deserve too. I would definetly come back, the place was immaculate the whole weekend! Awesome!

Stayed for 1 night while motorcycling the nc250. A cute wee place, lovely clean and spacious toilets/showers plus wash up area and Tea shed � Pods were great with a lovely view down to the river. We were really tempted to cook our supper on the fire pit but as it was our anniversary and I didn’t feel like going shopping for food, went into Ballater instead for a fab meal at India on the Green, as recommended by our kind hosts. Just to note ...the driveway is gravel and on a slope which Iain was quick to point out in case we preferred to leave our bikes at the top. I had only passed my test the day before, but decided to try and it was fine!

Nicole and Iains lovely place completely overwealmed us! Spectacular views, amazing walks, cosy comfortable pods, nature right op close and hospitality beyond what we had expected. This is 5-star glamping and far above other places I have tried of similar kind:). We higly recommend Howe of Torbeg and their kind and helpful host!

Nicole and Iain have created a little bit of paradise in an amazing spot. Pods are very comfortable, great hot showers, fire pits, a lovely wee shop and views to die for! Highly recommend Howe of Torbeg, beautiful place to get away from the world, unwind, walk, talk and soak up the amazing scenery to the sound of the river below. Perfect!

Lovely place and extremely nice lady, very helpful with everything! Many many thanks. We look forward visiting again �

Lovely location, to sit by the fire at the end of the day with the sound of running water in your ears, and watch the beautiful sunset with good friends, what more could you ask for! Lovely clean facilities, super friendly hosts!

Just back from a lovely 2 night stay at Howe of Torbeg. The glamping pod was super cosy and very clean! The toilets and showers were also spotless. Nicole was great - she showed us around the site and gave us lots of info about the surrounding area when we checked in. The weather stayed dry for both nights so we enjoyed cooking outside thanks to the large fire pit.

Had a fabulous stay this week with my husband and 2 little ones. Nicole made us very welcome. The pod was fabulous and setting perfect. The firepit was great and the showers/toilets were immaculate. Loved it. Didn't want to leave. Thanks you for the break.

Gorgeous campsite! The setting is so beautiful, pods feel quite plush and very well appointed. It’s such a lovely spot to sit down with friends and cook good food on the firebowl whilst looking over the river and glen. The facilities are clean and there are some really lovely touches. Lovely hosts!

Fantastic site with great views, fabulous pods. Friendly hosts. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic location, great chilled out night away just what the doctor ordered. Highly recommend.
