About Fairburn Activity Centre
Fairburn Activity Center is set in the Scottish woodland of Strathconon Glen and is a 30 minutes' drive from Inverness. It offers limited free Wi-Fi in the downstairs public areas and parking. All rooms and glamping pods are en-suite with hydromassage showers and/or a bath.
All rooms in the main building have a TV. The Stables breakfast room provides a buffet continental breakfast for all guests with cereal, toast, pastry, yogurt and fruit along with tea, filter coffee and fruit juice. Guests can also purchase a selection of coffee and other breakfast options such as filled rolls.
The center offers a range of outdoor activities on-site at present. These are ideally suited for those aged 8+, but we can adapt some for younger children. In the surrounding forest guests can try activities such as archery, jacob's ladder, crate stack, canoeing on the pond, raft building, laser tag, mini paintball and bushcraft.
Guests should ideally book activities prior to arrival, but the team will also do its best to help if this is not possible. Please note we cannot guarantee any specific activities if not booked 2 weeks in advance.

Amazing place in the middle of forest, next to beautiful castle ☺️ about 2 miles from main road so very quiet. In the morning we have been welcomed by Jess and Ella who served delicious continental breakfast ( the best we had so far). Very friendly staff, great place, fully recommend ☺️

We are travelling the north of Scotland. One adult and two children. I initially booked Fairburn as there are activities and as I wasn’t sure how the children would enjoy sightseeing thought this was a great option. However due to planned off sight activities we didn’t get to experience what was on

Honestly, the place was amazing. The location is great, right in the woods with accessible trekking and biking routes, a lot of activities for kids (and adults who feel like kids :) ). A great place to spend a holiday with your family.
