Wild Glen Retreat is a private estate nestled deep in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, surrounded by 30,000 acres of wilderness where the River Dye winds through ancient pine forests, heather-covered hills, and expansive moorland. This is a place where the landscape feels untouched-rich in wildlife, steeped in history, and full of the quiet magic that only true remoteness can bring. From every direction, the views stretch for miles: wooded glens, rolling hills, and ever-changing skies that move dramatically from golden morning light to long, luminous sunsets.

The area offers a wealth of outdoor adventure right from your doorstep. Hike to nearby waterfalls, cycle quiet forestry tracks, or wild swim in the river. There are trails for every pace-from gentle woodland strolls to challenging hill climbs like nearby Clachnaben, with its dramatic granite tor and panoramic summit views. The estate itself is a living, working environment: gather eggs from hens, pick veg in season from the garden, and meet friendly neighbours at the estate’s own rustic pub. Whether you’re exploring on foot, sitting by the fire with a book, or simply watching the clouds drift over the hills, Wild Glen invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel the landscape work its quiet spell.

Extra estate activities include: Bushcraft, Venison masterclass, Forest bathing, Archery tag, Salmon and Sea trout fishing, bike hire, axe throwing, cuttlefish casting, Vinyasa yoga, Whiskey tasting, Flower and wreath making, Art classes, Willow weaving and basket making, and a small cinema is available for private hire.

Once the booking is confirmed the Birch Stays team would be delighted to help arrange your extra activities and make your holiday truly unforgettable.

Bonnie Dye Bothy is a beautifully finished, characterful space designed for two, featuring a luxurious king-size bed, a stylish open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Sitting beside the historic Old Lodge-Wild Glen's oldest building dating back to the 1700s-it offers a blend of charm and comfort in a truly unique setting.

Outside, you'll find a handcrafted outdoor kitchen built using traditional joinery techniques, complete with a Big Green Egg barbecue, and a private Swedish wood-fired hot tub for ultimate relaxation. Guests also have access to the estates own pub with a roaring fire and record player, and Garden Camp-a shared space with outdoor games and a cosy indoor retreat. Seasonal vegetables and fresh eggs are available from our garden, and you can book a session in the riverside electric sauna at the Discovery and Adventure Centre for the full Wild Glen Retreat experience.
