    Not much room for keeping your belongings in order, but it's ok considering the size of the pod.

    Cozy and warm little pod. Very clean. Charming and quiet environment. Very comfortable bed. Kitchenette had all the things we were needed.

    We booked for 5 people into 2 pods, however there were no additional bedding or pillows that could have been used on the sleeper couch.

    We loved the location, was really very pretty. Small touches on arrival were appreciated like some farm eggs and milk in the fridge and a bottle of Prosecco!

    We cooked inside and had all what we need but maybe they should have an extractor because how it was night we didn't wanna to open the door/ windows because of insects

    It's a quiet place to rest and to take our kids as they can explore as they desire Owners were really kind to us and our kids Comfortable beds

    If u r travellinf for edinburgh[like we were, thought it was 20 mins away, it took us 1 hr to reach and 1 hour back] it's a little far away. However we enjoyed our stay. Exceptional.

    Everything was exceptional as expected. Neat, clean new and very well maintained and stocked. All u can ask from a pod.

    Area is quite remote and yes booking.com gave us the wrong code for entry to get access to the property and we went out for three first day before checking in and we were locked out for over a hour we tried calling the emergency contact number s provided we had no answer until a hour later. It was about 8pm in the evening and my daughter and myself were were covered in bites as there were countless midges about biting the daylights out of us. Until finally management answered our call as my older daughter was trying to get someone to help us when finally someone came and gave us the correct entry code and we finally got in. We were comfortable after that drama and had a comfortable enjoyable stay.

    I loved the wooden cabins the beautiful surroundings the scenic walks nature and the comfort of the cabin

    There was nothing that we didn’t like.

    The location was excellent, the surrounding area were absolutely beautiful, we had our dog with us and enjoyed being able to let him out and enjoy walking and exploring the area. The pod itself was what we needed and more, very comfortable.

    Can't think of anything to dislike.

    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.
