Cardross Estate Glamping Pods

First time Glampers ! Very impressed: excellent communication from Alastair before and during our 2 night stay which was so helpful and reassuring , an impressively comfortable , spacious and cleverly designed pod with WiFi which was amazingly strong enough for my husband to stream Arsenal v Real Madrid on his iPhone , considering we were in a field ! Surprisingly spacious bathroom with decent water pressure in the standard size shower and ( very ) hot water , comfortable beds , beautiful quintessentially Scottish picture postcard views and good quality kitchen basics ie decent wine glasses and a cafetière . Some reviews suggest a microwave but I disagree as the kitchen is a series of shelves rather than work surfaces , ( mini fridge below ), so the way to go is wine , cheese , fresh fruit etc in front of the fire and / or BBQ which Cardross can supply if in season. .We had sunshine and torrential rain and genuinely enjoyed the pod in both weathers. Cosy pounding rain interspersed with magnificent night skies when dry. Fabulous .

We actually liked everything and on leaving felt we could have added a further night , but as first time Glampers - on our way down from a stay at super comfortable , traditional Dumfries House - didn’t want to risk more than the minimum 2 night stay . My husband had promised to try the first night with the proviso we may not do the second but Cardross glamping is a different experience , definitely glamping not camping . We’ll certainly recommend Cardross to friends and hopefully be back one day again ourselves .

The location is superb, the experience is worth it! The room was warm, modern and all available space was cleverly used.

We arrived after 18.00 and it was a Dark, we couldn't find the place and got lost twice. It rained heavily and there was not enough light to reach the pod. Instructions given were 3 pages but missing the essentials. Additionally blinds or curtains would help for the privacy. Some kitchen equipment was dirty. Poor breakfast: bread, cereals, milk and juice. Butter without jam or honey!

We stayed in the pods as a family of 4. The pods were clean and homely with plenty of room for us all. The host was in communication with us prior to us arriving. We visited one of the local pubs recommended to us and had such a lovely day. Would definitely recommend and we will visit again soon.

Great little set up. My boys loved it, really nice set up with the bbq and fire pit, we had a bbq in the middle of a Scottish winter, amazing! Everything outside set up, clean and ready to go. Marshmallows included! Nice touch. Owner really friendly, helpful and responsive to messages. Brought us coal last minute when we needed it. Beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Great trolleys for use of transporting bags to cabin! Thought of everything, shower powerful and warm. Thank you for our stay.

Sheets on kids beds weren’t fitted so just came off as soon as they moved, with waterproof covering meant they were sleeping on a cold mattress, just needs fitter sheets to solve that. Tea and coffee could have been a little more thought of as just not much in regard to amount and quality but we were happy to have some there and be able to use.

Really lovely pod. Absolutely spotless and very comfortable bed. Cleverly designed, with much more space than I was expecting!

Amazing experience and it was the best I ever had it was so quiet and calm 🤌🏼
