Glampods is a family run business, offering a beautifully kitted out glamping pod to sleep five, ideally placed for the North Coast 500. The pod includes all the home comforts you could wish for with underfloor heating, free parking, free WiFi and plenty of mod cons. It's the only pod on site so it's very secluded, perfect for cyclists looking to hit the trails or whisky fans (the Malt Whisky Trail is within 30 mins).

Pod - Ensuite Glamping PodApr 2022

Had a brilliant stay here this week. Pod lovely and everything you’d expect and more. Perfect set up for couples and larger groups, everything you could need under one roof. Alan and Ruth were extremely friendly and showed us round their cottage area where we got to feed to highland cows and see the sheep. A really top notch relaxing stay. Highly recommend.
