Highlights

  • Escape to a dreamy Perthshire glen where two luxurious accommodation pods offer countryside views, private wood-fired hot tubs and easy access to the separate Scottish Wild Spa.
  • Wake slowly to views across the May Glen, with horses grazing beside your pod, hens wandering nearby and the quiet Scottish countryside stretching out around you.
  • Choose spacious White Clover for up to six guests or cosy Heather for up to four, with both pods offering a king size bed, stylish living spaces and handy cooking facilities.
  • Step outside your pod and sink into your private wood-fired hot tub, watching the stars emerge overhead as the surrounding glen becomes wonderfully still.
  • Visit the separate Scottish Wild Spa, housed in its own Igluhut, where a sauna, cold plunges and aromatherapy hot tub create an invigorating place to relax and restore.
  • Add a little extra indulgence with a treatment in the Spa Cabin, choosing from massages, restorative facials and holistic therapies using natural GAIA products.
  • Gather in Maycroft's twin tipis, a dedicated retreat space that's ideal for soulful events and special celebrations, or simply wander down the glen and reconnect with nature.

The details

Maycroft Retreat is a wonderfully peaceful escape in the May Glen, where two luxurious glamping pods provide stylish accommodation surrounded by the beautiful Perthshire countryside. Wake to horses grazing nearby and hens pottering around, spend lazy evenings soaking in your own private wood-fired hot tub and make time for some serious relaxation at the separate Scottish Wild Spa. With its sauna, cold plunges and aromatherapy hot tub, the spa is a fabulous addition to a stay here, while twin tipis provide a dedicated retreat space for gatherings, events and celebrations.

The two pods each have their own character. White Clover sleeps up to six, with a king size bed, two singles and a sofa bed. Its glazed frontage draws those gorgeous countryside views inside, while soft throws and cushions create a cosy spot for evenings in front of the Smart TV. The deluxe kitchen has everything from a hob and conventional fan oven to a wine fridge, so you can cook up a feast before settling in for the night.

Heather sleeps up to four, with a king size bed and double sofa bed. Its nature-inspired interior is airy and inviting, with a well-equipped kitchenette and a snug living area that's perfect for curling up with a glass of wine. Both pods come with luxury bed linen, robes, slippers and GAIA products, while WiFi keeps you connected when needed.

Outside, each pod has its own private space designed for making the most of the spectacular setting. Fire up the BBQ, hire a pizza oven for homemade pizzas or sink into your wood-fired hot tub as darkness settles over the glen. Heather also has a fire pit for marshmallow-toasting evenings beneath the stars.

For even deeper relaxation, head to the separate Scottish Wild Spa, housed in an Igluhut and offering a sauna, invigorating cold plunges and an aromatherapy hot tub. You can also book holistic treatments including massages, facials and restorative therapies in the Spa Cabin. And if you're visiting for a retreat, soulful gathering or celebration, the twin tipis provide a beautiful dedicated space in which to come together.

When you fancy exploring, take a gentle daunder through the glen to the waterfall or head further into Perthshire for fantastic walking amid the Ochil Hills. Golf and quad biking offer more energetic adventures, while an array of local places to eat means you can treat yourselves before returning to the peace of your pod and one final soak beneath the stars.

We spent two nights in the White Clover pod. Denise was so welcoming and helpful, even having the hot tub heated for our arrival which on a cold January day was perfect! The pod had all the comforts you could need, a well stocked kitchen with utensils, cosy blankets to snuggle with, a selection of teas and coffees and gorgeous shower products. The scenery around the pod is beautiful, it was so nice to enjoy morning coffee looking out at the wildlife. The hot tub was easy to use and somewhat protected from the elements with a roof and glass wall partition. The walks around the area were really enjoyable. Also can’t forget to mention Timmy the very friendly sheep who greeted us each morning, my son was quite taken with him! This place is perfect for a quiet getaway and we look forward to returning!

We stayed at the end of September for two nights and it was fab. Location is amazing. You are in the middle of nowhere in this beautiful pod, where you can watch the stars from the hot-tub. We will definitely be back. What made it even more special is that we could take our dogs with us. Definitely a place to visit if you are looking to recharge in a place where you can hear yourself think.
