Camping Pod - Suilven View Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Sep 2024

The placing of the pod was obviously well thought out. Secluded, on the side of a gentle sloping rise, just the right size of trees in the garden around it. But still maintaining a clear understanding that the view from the veranda must be maintained. On entry, one was immediately struck by the fact that who ever planned this wonderful highland hideaway, was well versed in what a paying customer will find priceless. The heating was on, it was a cool Autumn afternoon. The electric fire was switched on, but only at that time only requiring the real fire effect, as the place was warm enough already. Another very welcome and a nice touch was that the Ice making Machine was also doing it's thing. A welcome Gin and Tonic was soon enjoyed after a few hours drive. The accommodation is very well equipped indeed. Almost every wish is catered for. As demonstrated by the adequately equipped Galley Kitchen. From the ubiquitous Ninja Air Fryer, to the dishwasher, Twin Induction hob, everything was provided to make less work and more time to enjoy the place and area. There was a lovely shower, large double bed and lets not forget the Hot-Tub! A tub with a view to die for. Parking just out from the garden gate and about a mile (1.5km) walk into Lochinver. However, even closer is a very well stocked store. So, in summary; If you don't need a MacDonald's just down the road or unbridled social entertainment, this is the place for you. I'm not even going to start to describe the scenery. One should come and see it in person.
