Glamping Pod - The Bee Hive Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Mar 2025
Just back from a short break at the Galloway Steadings.
Top class, little slice of heaven. Each individual pod is strategically placed to give a nice feeling of privacy with your own little private garden - fully pet proof.
High standard of cleanliness, beautiful layout, very spacious inside and out. Informative welcome pack making things very easy.
10 to 15 mins walk to the sea, loads of nice walks in the surrounding areas. Very comfy bed and seating areas, and a nice little shop with with homemade soaps, jams etc and a book and DVD lending area within.
Would defo stay again.
Best glamping experience ever!

Glamping Pod - The Bee Hive Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Mar 2025
Best glamping experience ever!
The location is perfect. The view from our pod (Bee Hive) was exceptional. The pod is very well equipped and we welcomed the milk, tea and coffee that was there when we arrived. The site has some lovely touches and the owners are easy to reach and very helpful. There's a wee shop with some local products, loads of dvds, books and games as well as firewood and barbecue coals.
The site is dog friendly although they do have dog free pods as well. There's lovely walks around about. The walk along the river down to the bay is lovely.
