Comfy, cozy and just what we needed!! I loved how attentive the hosts were they were lovely! Hot tub was loaded with wood every day ready for you to light. Amazing. The only things I could fault was the shower which kept going cold and the wifi wasnt the best but thats not what we were there for! So wasnt a deal breaker.

Friendly hosts with lots of amazing knowledge about the area and local towns and activities to do during our stay. The pod was lovely and clean and cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Hottub was fantastic to relax in after a day in Edinburgh exploring some of the hidden gems and the Christmas market. Overall fantastic experience and place, we will definitely be returning in the future as the location was ideal for some privacy but not too far away so we could go into local towns and explore.
