Cardross Estate Glamping Pods

Le calme et la vue, beaucoup d’espace pour les enfants.

Le dépaysement l environnement

Un moyen de faire chauffer de l eau quand il pleut et que le feu de bois devient aléatoire!

Ended up not being able to visit and they refused to refund any of the money, even though they had a weak notice that we were not going to be able to attend. Horrible people to deal with extremely rude. Do not recommend.

We received multiple very informative communications from the hosts of the glamping pods and felt very well informed of what to find included in the pod. We found the pod perfect for a couple of nights away of adventure as a young family. The pod was very clean and comfortable, with ample space for a family of four. We had a brilliant first evening and all really enjoyed waking up to an amazing view across the estate to the mountains beyond.

On returning to the pod on our second evening, it was incredibly hot, so we had the door to the pod wide open. While using the bbq area, we noticed there was a very large number of flying ants. Over the course of the evening, hundreds of these ants swarmed all around the front of the pod. We were unable to leave the door open or sit outside due to the sheer number of these insects. As it had been a particularly warm day, having the door closed turned the pod into an oven, and our kids found it unbearable. It did become dangerously hot, and as we were unable to improve the situation, we made the difficult decision to end our stay early and head home before our final night. I must add that this was obviously down to nature, and there was not anything the hosts could do to prevent this situation. We did contact them at the time, and we really did feel that they were upset at the situation we found ourselves, and they did offer multiple suggestions to try and improve things for us. But unfortunately, we did have to leave a night early due to concerns for our children. Perhaps a mosquito net or the like for the doorway so we could have left the door open to cool the pod would have been enough, or perhaps a small AC unit.

I visited with my partner and our 2yo, we had a wonderful time and the location was absolutely stunning, with gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. The farm in which the pods are on has Goats, Ducks, Pigs and peacocks which my son loved going to visit throughout our stay. There was also cows grazing in the field right outside the pod. It was quiet when we stayed with only one other family in the pod next door but even if it was fully booked, it would be a peaceful and quiet stay. The pod is well set out, comfortable and provides everything you need.

There is a BBQ and tools but no charcoal supplied - it does mention in the pre-arrival instructions that charcoal can be purchased extra but it isn’t overly clear that there isn’t any available (there is firewood provided). Someone kindly brought some for us when we asked which was great, however making it clearer that guests should bring their own would prevent others making the same mistake.

We stayed in the POD for 1 night. It was very cozy for us as a small family. We Liked the Amazing Views and the Relaxing Atmosphere.
