    Direct view to 3 of the other pods, albeit over some distance but still fully visible. Our porch did not appear to work, which could be problematic at night.

    Nice secluded and clean pod. Surrounded by nature. The horses are very friendly. The hot tub was divine.

    Ease of access. Well organised. Location is breathtaking! (Like something straight from a book) Pod was faultless and finished to the highest standards. Front deck and hot tub personal favourites. As well as the surrounding wildlife. Ducks and horses in particular :)

    Gets very warm very quickly but the air conditioning soon cools it back down again

    Gorgeous location, pod was fully equipped with everything needed. Loved the ‘smart’ features, everything being controlled on the pad was great. The hot tub was a lovely addition too

    What an amazing Place, myself and my husband only stay around an hour away but we honestly felt like somewhere in the highlands. It was the peace and quiet we needed. The Pod was a lot bigger than I expected didn’t feel cramped etc your surroundings are amazing with the woodland in the background and the lovely pond out front you really are just taken away from it all which is what we both wanted! The little touches with the stocked fridge etc really make a difference & the high tech aspects of the pod are amazing! We both also really enjoyed the hot tub it really warm it does cool but it kicks in to add more hot water in fast so it was just amazing! It was probably the high light for us! It’s super easy to find especially using the What 3 Words provided and the road to car park was easy enough we have a low car and had to issues.. then it’s like a min walk to pods again really easy and well signed! We will definitely be booking again we we just want to get away from it all.

    Our room (otters holt) the air con was dripping during the night so we had to put a towel down across the doorway to avoid a disturbed sleep. Only other small detail was our outside light of the pod didn't seem to be working but the other 3 pods were lit.

    Very clean and comfortable. Loved it was in a well maintained but hidden away area. Very relaxing!

    The most amazing pod for an overnight stay! Hot tub was so relaxing and bed so comfy. Lovely location and scenery. The wee extras that were in the fridge were great too including bottles of prosecco, irn bru, orange juice and water. Will definitely be back!

    The air conditioning is hard to keep the pod a comfortable temperature when sleeping. It can be a little too warm

    The pod was amazing and like nothing we have stayed at before. Very clean and modern, we couldn’t believe all of the facilities it had in it and was also a lot bigger than we imagined. Loved the hot tub as it was ready to use. Got a bottle of Prosecco and a bag of harribo upon arrival

    Shower is a bit uncomfortable, sharing space with the toilet. Price a bit high.

    Nice place very close to Edinburgh in bus, but far enough to feel in peace and be quiet. So easy to find it. Very lovely pods around an small lake with everything you need inside. Very cosy atmosphere. Also you have a Scandinavian hot tub and a small terrace out.

    The robes were well used and hard on the skin.

    The little added extras of drinks and something for breakfast in the morning. All the mod cons for lighting, heating etc. It was just the perfect place to get away from it all for a night.

    Too much chlorine in the hot tub has tarnished all of my jewellery, maybe put a note out for future visitors as all of my jewellery is black… You can’t change temp of hot tub and water level comes to chest. “Mood lights” were broken, kept changing colour on only one pannel, going on and off & strobe light. The shower over the toilet..maybe just me but didn’t make me feel clean lol

    How secluded you felt, not over crowded with other visitors. THE VIEW. Good food delivery choice.

    The hot tub just was like laying in a bath, no bubbles and the temperature kept dropping.

    Loverly and peaceful, great location Prosseco on arrival which was a nice surprise, definitely went down a treat.
