    canopy over the hot tub so can be enjoyed even in rain, had to pick timings of when rain wasn't as heavy, which rains to be expected in Scotland 90% of year.

    Peaceful area, amazing use of space with the facilities. The little extra touches added to the mini fridge ❤️.

    There is not much close to it, you would need a car to get most places

    A lovely hideaway for a few days. Really nice area!

    Shower room combined with toilet is too small.

    The best place we’ve ever stayed - so calm and peaceful, beautiful surroundings, modern smart-house. Never experienced anything like that before.

    Could do with having fences around the hot tubs. But other than that no complaints.

    Lovely location! Would 100% be back and the wee breakfast in the room was a lovely touch.

    The privacy for the hottub. It should be fenced in. Bed sheet was ripped. The pod was far to warm and the heating doesn't go below 17°

    Nice stay.

    The fan was very loud and on all night, it didn’t bother me but made my husband struggle to sleep.

    Loved the quiet location and the hot tub. Was glad they left us a small breakfast for the first night.

    We struggled slightly to find the pod at first as google maps took us to the wrong location twice and there wasn’t many signs telling us where to go. Other than that it was easy enough once we knew where we were

    The pod was amazing!! We went here for my birthday and it was just perfect. Super cosy and the hot tub was amazing!! Will definitely be back

    The only thing l didn’t like was the bathroom the sponge thing that cleans the toilet had a lot of liquids that were smelling, which is not ideal as the shower and toilet are one which is very weird and was kinda uncomfortable.

    The location is very lovely and the view is amazing so many trees and fresh air. loved the hot tub as well it was hot in like -3 degrees .

    I would recommend slippers for the hot tub use, although the distance is very short from the cabin to the hot tub the decking does get super slippery.

    The hide away was so cosy and comfortable! What an amazing experience the views from all sides were perfect if your looking for that glam camp vibe with nature surrounding every angle.

    The mirror in the wardrobe was not the cleanest and The taxi I booked didn’t actually know where to go I had payed £104 in advance just to be taken there and his attitude was not great. Sure that’s nothing to do with the actual property though

    The hot tub was constantly warm the pillows on the bed really made it for me so soft such a private space

    I’m personally not a huge fan of the toilet in the shower. In this case it made sense, but for me not a comfortable shower. Otherwise loved it.

    The name is accurate. Secret hideaway. Loved the rural atmosphere with horses in the field behind and the lovely little pond in front. The space was clean, comfortable and hi tech. Loved the hot tub that was ready to enjoy when we arrived. It was a quiet peaceful night of sleep.
