Off-grid holidays
Ever fancied the idea of living off-grid and getting away from the stresses of day-to-day life? Well, now you and your family can experience the adventure of living in a stunning remote wilderness away from your phones, the TV and from the stresses of the outside world and simply immerse yourselves in the wild and very remote rugged scenery of South West Scotland’s Galloway Forest. Accessible only by forest track via Bruce's Stone, Loch Trool,* Glenhead Lodge sleeps up to 10 people so is ideal for groups or large families. There is also a pod (sleeps 2) and a Shepherd’s Hut which also sleeps 2. Glenhead, which is located in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is regularly visited by pine martens, foxes, badgers, red deer, red squirrels and birds of prey, so you won’t be entirely alone during your stay!

Meet the locals...
Living off-grid in the heart of Britain's largest forest is a truly magical experience. The Galloway Forest in south-west Scotland is home to a wide variety of wildlife from spectacular birds of prey to pine martens and increasingly rare red squirrels. You may even get to meet badgers, foxes, wild goats, red and roe deer, golden eagles, buzzards, owls, woodpeckers, jays and magpies during your stay!
