Location was ideal. The pods are so well set up and despite the compact size, everything has been thought of. A superb, clamping adventure especially for families with younger kids. Ours are aged 4 and 7 and absolutely loved their bunkbed room! Fabulous views as well, and the fire pit provides an additional activity in the evening (toasting marshmallows). Really good location for restaurant options at the Port of Menteith too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get off the beaten track (but not too far!)
Unfortunately, it rained a lot during our 2 night stay so we couldn't use the outdoor patio/fireside area as much as we would have ordinarily. Nothing that can be done about that though!

The pod was very quiet inside which I loved. No cars driving past either which was lovely to not be woken up by slamming doors or engines. The pod itself had everything I needed, including some unexpected extras which was fantastic. Bed was comfy and there were plenty pillows. Electric fan heater kept me warm when it got a bit nippy. I had a lovely stay.
Location was very dark, I had to go back to my car after the sun had set and it was pretty scary. There are lights along the path but they aren’t all that bright. I hadn’t brought a torch and the one in the pod wasn’t working. Not the end of the world, but just something to think about if you’re solo.

Clean property, very comfortable bed, working kettle, toaster, fridge. Heating was fantastic and place heated up very quickly. BBQ and fire pit were a great experience to use. Silent location, no noise at all, views in the morning were spectacular of the hills. A serene experience. Car park only a short walk to the property and little pulleys were provided to take luggage, which worked well. It rained when we were there which we expected. We took a fisherman umbrella and sat 2 chairs underneath this in front of our fire pit.
Nothing. It was perfect.

We have a great stay. Awesome location, in the middle of nature and right next to a wonderful working farm. Very peaceful and quiet and with good access to a ton of beautiful walks and trails nearby. Car is required. The pod was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed. We had some issues finding rubbish bags but that was our own fault, but the host nonetheless very helpfully sent someone with extra bags for us.
Some parts around the shower weren't as well cleaned, but this was very minor. Otherwise, everything was excellent and we'd stay again.

Lovely setting to get away from it all. Very peaceful, surrounded by nature. Only 5 pods on site and plenty of privacy with adequate spacing between the pods. Pods are very modern, clean, in great shape and well appointed. It was suprisingly comfotable for a family of 4 for a couple of nights. The kids loved the bunk beds!
The walk from the car park to the pods was just about bearable in the drizzle. Would have been completeley fine in dry weather and less so in torrential rain. Trolleys provided are very helpful. Small nit-picking point...the matches provided for the BBQ and fire pit were too soggy to work so we had to rely on neighbours in pod next door to help us light our fire (thanks, Joe!). Might be worth keeping matches or a secondary lighter in the kitchen drawer (or take your own, like Joe did!).

These glamping pods were exactly what we needed after the big city vibes of Edinburgh. So peaceful, so quiet- the firepit and barbecue kit were wonderful, too! The view across the fields was rolling hills and green green countryside. There was also an incredible thunderstorm during our stay- and the pods gave us a full show without us being out in the lashing down rain. Great set up, great staff, great stay!

The Pods were lovely, loved the view when you wake up in the morning. Everything was clean and nicely done, not used to the small spaces that pods offer but was very cosy and comfortable. We will be back!
One thing could be a small microwave in the kitchenette area - however aside from this - everything else was brilliant!

This is a fantastic pod - very compact but well designed and very clean. We loved our stay here. The views are beautiful and we loved the remoteness. The complimentary wood and marshmallows were a lovely touch.
We visited in summer and the pod was very hot during the night due to not being able to ventilate during the day - maybe we never managed to work the ventilaltion properly!

Beautiful secluded location. Easy to get to and good parking. It’s self check in so didn’t meet the owners, but the emails were self explanatory and straight forward to check-in. Clean and well equipped for 4. The beds were comfy and we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise from the comfort of our bed. Ample hot water from the shower after a day of hiking. The price reflects what the pod provides quiet a lot really (bedding/towels/ cutlery) we didn’t have to bring our own stuff like when we have stayed at other pods and I’m thankful for that. We had a lovely time and recommend for family’s with older children. 😄

Great pod, comfy beds, nice peaceful location. Would also highly recommend the inn in Kippin for food if too wet to bbq
The walk from the car to the pod isn't ideal if you don't travel light, there was no toilet roll and the bin in pod hadn't been emptied, I assume this was just an oversite. However these things were minor, the pod was v high quality clean and comfy and would recommend.
