21m² King bed En-suite Sleeps 2 Year-round

The larger of our two glamping pods, set at an elevated position on the property with views to the hills to the west. Step through the double glass doors onto your private timber deck and you're looking out over the strath — hills, trees, sky. That's it.

Inside, everything you need and nothing you don't. King bed, a proper en-suite shower room, kitchenette with hob and microwave, and underfloor heating that keeps the pod warm right through winter. The 24" TV has Netflix, Disney+, BBC iPlayer and more — for the evenings when you'd rather not move.

It's self-contained and private, far enough from the main house to feel like your own wee place on the hillside.

"The pod was immaculate and very cosy, even with 2 feet of snow outside. Robert was a perfect host and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay — even pushing our car up the hill when the snow was too deep."

"What a gem of a find. Peacefully located, perfectly appointed pod with all the mod cons. Loved it, loved the walks, loved the charm of the remoteness. Would definitely recommend glamping here to anyone who enjoys these surrounds."
