    I only stayed in it for one night with my friend, but it was AMAZING! The convenience to enter the pod was great, it's located in a safe and serene area. I want to go back again!

    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...
