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, coffee and fruit juice. The center offers a range of outdoor activities on-site at present for those aged 8 and above. 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.
