Kelburn Castle and Estate Yurts

Join us at Kelburn Estate for a memorable glamping or camping experience.  The glamping site features an eco-friendly design, which includes logs that were felled on the Estate and internal solar powered lighting. Kelburn Estate is also a great day out with something for everyone, including outdoor and indoor play areas, beautiful castle and gardens, unique history, stunning woodland, dramatic waterfalls, and walks through the glen.

Glamping Yurts

Available Spring through to Autumn. Our yurts are traditional Central Asian Turkic Nomadic Trellised Tents!
Made and installed using authentic methods.

Each yurt has openable canvas windows, solid lockable door, skydome, trellis walls which are felt-insulated (keeping excess heat and cold under control) and laminate flooring with cosy rugs. One of our yurts is level-accessible.

Amenities inside
A small wood-burning stove heats the yurt quickly and safely.  You are provided with starting supply of fuel upon arrival.  A stove-top kettle can quickly make you a warm cuppa!
Extra comfortable main bed with all linens, duvet, blankets and cushions provided
Relaxed seating inside with table and chairs for dining.
Lighting/lamps inside, either solar or electric/usb

Outside 

All yurts built to give own secluded woodland area with decking, outdoor seating, firepit and breath-taking views.

Parking is provided nearby, with "unloading" available at the Bothy.  (we like everyone to have unspoilt views and minimum vehicle disruption)

GLENS AND GARDENS
The Grounds have much to offer and why not look for some of our special features while you enjoy a walk in the great outdoors. Kelburn is famous for its many unusual trees and the 1000 year old Yews and the Weeping Larch have been recognised by the Forestry Commission as two of the 100 most important ‘heritage’ trees in Scotland.

TRAILS AND WALKS
Kelburn is a natural attraction and hosts a wonderful coastal woodland. The castle is situated on the side of a beautiful glen and has unrivalled views over the Clyde estuary and islands. Enjoy both the views and features of the glen as you explore our network of trails. Make sure you include the short path to the waterfall, where you can appreciate the waters force over the centuries.

THE CASTLE
The Castle is still the private home of Earl of Glasgow and his family. Due to this reason, the Castle is only open for tours on set dates in the Summer at an additional cost. Our Castle opening times are available here:
