"First rate wilding stay and would like to see it in other seasons."

10.0

The location was out in the wilds of nature and exactly what we were looking for. We were very pleasantly surprised to find our host had left us milk and eggs. Lovely touch. Colin came and introduced himself and we had a really interesting conversation. He advised that mint keeps the midges/flies away and there was a mint plant on our veranda. Just tuck a leaf behind your ear and you're good to go! Excellent! Very warm wee pod - We stayed in Woodpecker. Parking was at the end of a short path and quite adequate. Fire pit was available with wood delivered on request by host, but we didn't avail of it due to warmth of weather. Eco friendly.

Can't think of anything to dislike.

"We had a great week"

10.0

Loved the peaceful location, soooo may birds, loved waking up in the morning opening the window wide and listening to the birds with a cupa, the pod was very comfortable and very clean, the site owner Colin was very nice and he checked we we're OK and had all we needed, we used a park and ride to get into Edinburgh which was very easy and worked out alot cheaper than parking in Edinburgh, good shops only 10 min drive away, would definitely recommend and would definitely like to return ,

"Delightful, relaxing break in a peaceful location with fabulous hosts."

10.0

Fabulous hosts and a beautiful location with great accommodation. The pods were more spacious than expected and had everything that we needed. We arrived later than intended and very stressed due to our car breaking down and a few other unbelievable disasters on route. We had to drop our bags off quickly and head straight out again due to running late for a concert. Having told our host about our terrible journey we were incredibly surprised to return to our pod after the concert to find a bottle of bubbly with a happy birthday note attached to it (I had mentioned it was my birthday and it wasn’t quite going as planned!). So very thoughtful and greatly appreciated. Thank you. This really is a lovely little retreat with very helpful hosts who have great knowledge of the local area😊

Nothing!

"Lovely, quiet pods in nature"

10.0

Location was lovely and fairly remote. Although the cabins are not that far away from each other, you can't hear people staying in the other pods. It would be amazing for a group of people together though. There are enough amenities for a short stay although if you were staying longer, something like a combination oven would be useful instead of just a microwave and hob top, but this is glamping after all and people go away camping and caravanning with less, so I'm just being fussy and the pods are eco-friendly! The bed is comfortable and it was nice to not have to take all of your own bed linen and towels. Plenty of crockery, utensils and cookware to use. Decent amount of space for 2 people and a dog. You can hear lots of birds and sheep outside and rabbits racing around, so it's lovely if you like to be outside in nature. The hot water for the taps and shower came through very quickly.

The sofa was a bit uncomfortable after sitting on it for a while, but I guess that most people won't be sat there for too long and would be out and about instead. The cabins are a tiny bit close together for my liking, but as I said, it would be amazing for a larger group booking for all 3 pods or if you're a social person (and your neighbour is!). A small hoover would have been more useful than a dustpan and brush when you have a hairy shedding dog. The shower was on the smaller side, but perfectly manageable. The electric heater kept error coding (ERR3 I think), but we didn't really need the heater on anyway with the time of year.
