    Although compact, it had almost anything you could need. Some really nice touches, and outstanding view.

    The location was great, just a few miles from Stornoway & a great base to explore Lewis & Harris. Beautiful beaches close by. Fabulous view from the pod. Very peaceful. We stayed for 5 nights & found the pod very cosy & comfortable. Facilities...

    The pod was in a lovely quiet location and super comfy. There’s a good enclosed area for dogs so I may bring mine next time. Had a great sleep. The air fryer is a great idea.
