We stayed here for 2 nights before setting off on NC500, I was a little apprehensive given some of the reviews here but I have to say our experience was very positive. The accommodation was very clean and fully equipped as described. …

We stayed here for one night prior to starting the NC500. The containers are qwerky and a great idea for somewhere different to stay without costing the earth.The surroundings were idyllic! There was a small seating area, small kitchen, double bed and bathroom. What more do you need!

PLEASE AVOID! ||The room looked different to on the photos. It had a strong smell of dampness and there weren’t any plugs so I couldn’t charge my phone etc. …

Having read some of the poor reviews about this place I had a degree of trepidation.||However the accommodation is clean, comfortable and compact and situated in a really quiet spot - best nights sleep I've had for ages. …

What was meant to be a nice stay before travelling up for the NC500 had an insulting aftermath when we found out after leaving an honest review that the owners are vile, disrespectful and clearly should never have become business owners …

Enjoyable stay in a quirky glamping pod.A sign stating what is to be done with the used towels is needed, as when I called the number to ask whether to leave them in the shower cubicle, or by the front door, the answer was "do what you like mate, as long as they're in the room".Ill admit it was 07:57, but if you're running a facility such as this, you should expect calls at random times.Other than this minor detail, 100% would recommend. Well done Glamness!!
