    Beautiful view from the pod and hot tub. It felt very peaceful, and we rarely saw the other pod guests. The hot tub was lovely, and there was a privacy fence around the back and side of it. The information booklet was very helpful. The pod was neat and clean and had most things you would need. The bed was very comfortable. The pod kept nice and cosy with the one electric heater even in the cold rainy weather. The shower had great pressure and was at a good temperature. It was a lovely, quiet getaway.

    AMAZING! The Pod is so cosy and comfy and has everything you could need. The hot tub and the BBQ were just the perfect setting for some amazing holidays. We could not imagine a more perfect place to unwind in the Highlands. The views and sunsets from the pod were breathtaking!

    We liked everything, it was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely to relax in - even in the rain. But the host Yvonne is exceptional - gave us loads of local information about where to eat and places to visit in the area. We was sorry we could not stay longer.

    Trish and Mark were welcoming, friendly and helpfull. They adore dogs, so our dog was also very welcome. We got immedialy tips for beautiful walks. We love the atmosphere of the historic bank house, its charming and cozy. Trish made us a fabulous full Scottish Breakfast, what a good start for the day. We hope to come back with more time in our luggage.

    Great breakfast, staff were super friendly and really helpful. It meant alot that they were able to make my mums coffee perfectly (which can be hard to do!). The cabin room was spacious and soooo cosy so perfect after a long day out. Really well set out room and just perfect. A fabulously comfy and big bed and the location meant a lovely quiet and peaceful stay. Definitely feels like a well established stop on the NC500, it just has that heritage feel and the guys just know what they're doing.
