THE PLACE.

Glen Dye is a private estate of around 15,000 acres and our cabins and cottages sit slap bang at its centre, surrounded by wilderness forest and moorland on the banks of the River Dye.

THE FOOD.

The food at Glen Dye is an event in itself. We take campfire cooking to a whole new level, using the world-famous produce available on our doorstep to create unforgettable wild feasts. Our chefs and cooks do spectacular things over fire - from pop-up supper clubs with the legendary Free Company to wood-fired pizzas with foraged toppings.

Food is a main stage headliner at Glen Dye!

THE COMPANY.

We provide the setting, the activities and often the food, but it’s the people who really make these courses at Glen Dye.

Is there anything better than sitting around a campfire with like-minded folk, putting the world to rights with a wee dram in hand? Great company is what you bring and you bring it in spades; we’re blessed to have a truly wonderful bunch of people join us each time.

With limited places on each course, our focus is on intimate experiences and meaningful connections.

THE ACCOMMODATION.

We have ten perfect holiday cottages, many with outdoor, wood-fired hot tubs and one with its own private cabin.

We have also converted the old estate sawmill into a private outdoors paradise; here you’ll find a 1955 Airstream with a giant bed, a fully restored foresters’ kitchen and sitting room, a spectacular outdoor shower and a wood-fired hot tub. These cabins and cottages combine jaw dropping wild locations with perfect comfort and style.

You’re also welcome to stay in bell tents, provided by us, or in your own tent or campervan.

"THE CABINS BRING TRAVELLERS INTO THE GREAT OUTDOORS – BUT NOT WITHOUT A LUXURY OR TWO.

GUESTS CAN STARGAZE FROM PERSONAL WOOD-FIRED SWEDISH HOT TUBS OR EVEN JUST GO SWIMMING IN THE RIVER DYE.”
