‘Arcadia’ is a word that describes a perfect image of life in the countryside… a pure and calm oasis in the desert of stressed, chaotic everyday life.

That’s exactly what will greet you as you arrive, loved one in tow, at the 21-acre woodland-and-pasture site that’s home to Arcadia Glamping. Featuring two luxurious cabins-for-two, and perfectly positioned by the historic village of Drymen, the natural wonders of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park are virtually on the doorstep.

The creative brainchild of sculptor and environmental artist Rob Mulholland and his wife Susan, every care has been taken to ensure not only that you have a heavenly stay at Arcadia, but also that their breath-taking natural environment is protected.

The unique, sustainably crafted cabins – named Halcyon and Elysium – use green energy sources for lighting and heating, and you’ll find both equipped with imaginative recycled and upcycled furnishings.

Each also comes with a gently illuminated outdoor bath that’s ideal for stargazing, a uniquely crafted chimenea, fluffy bathrobes to wrap yourselves in… and a goodie-packed welcome hamper with a bottle of Prosecco!

While both cabins blend beautifully with their natural surroundings, you’ll find each one is individually and lovingly styled, for a true one-of-a-kind experience. Halcyon marries traditional Scottish design with contemporary flair to create a perfect sense of place, characterised by larch cladding and a glinting metal façade of sculpted branches.

Elysium, meanwhile, is a beautiful reflection of nature with a twist of the exotic, filled with rich fabrics and accessories that were collected from Rob and Susan’s travels to the Middle and Far East.

More information

Both cabins feature irresistibly soft furnishings and soft-toned walls, decorated with unique art and historic found objects that hint at the site’s history as a working farm.

There’s also a well-equipped kitchenette, an en-suite shower room with indulgent eco-friendly toiletries, and a downy double bed dressed in fine Egyptian cotton bedding… and plenty of warm blankets to snuggle up in!

Outside awaits your very own slice of natural paradise, as you pop open that bottle of Prosecco and take in the sights, sounds, and scents of nature from the comfort of your furnished deck. Perhaps you could linger outside a little longer, enjoying an al fresco supper as you watch the local wildlife and listen to the gentle sounds of the river?

Explore the woodland to your hearts’ content… which you’ll find peppered with Rob’s sculpture work, and shimmering ponds that are teeming with wildlife. You could also head into the village, which features plenty of shops and restaurants…

…though if you’re feeling more adventurous, how about a visit to Go Ape, or even tackling Ben Lomond? The climb won’t be effortless, but you’ll be rewarded with mesmerising views that take in the length of Loch Lomond and its islands.

Alternatively, with everything you could ever want from a romantic break right there in your dreamy cabin – why leave at all?
