Three Glens House

About

A carbon-negative, turf-roofed farmhouse, Three Glens House belongs to the land it stands in. Designed empathetically by a leading architect, Three Glens House is owned by the Green Energy Farmer of the Year 2011 and demonstrates a unique slant on sustainable living. The full-height triple glazing in this farmhouse’s living space allows jaw-dropping views across the countryside to where the three glens of Craigdarroch, Dalwhat and Castlefairn converge. The vast, main glass doors open electronically for access to the elevated outdoor decked balcony, where you admire Mother Nature on classy garden furniture. In shaping this enchanting environment, 286 railway sleepers were used for timber frames; 500 tons of stone were collected from local fields to build stunning walls; and 2,000 fleeces were taken from local Blackface sheep for wall insulation. However, Three Glens House captivates not just the dedicated green traveller but anyone with a love of luxury and leisure. For instance, consider escaping to Three Glens House if you’re arranging a corporate meeting for up to eight people, a specialist holiday (such as cookery, shooting or cycling), or a break for a large family in an inspiring sanctuary, looked after by discreet, live-in staff. Their sole aim is to ensure all visitors receive a ski-chalet-style premier service with complete privacy to entertain. Enhancing your stay considerably, this service embraces cooking meals, preparing picnics/lunches and suggesting local leisure options to suit your preferences. Rest assured, your chef will be used to creating higher-end cuisine not pub grub.
