Bed was comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. A pod was being delivered as we arrived which meant we had to keep moving our vehicle for around an hour or so and also limited our ability to unpack. The shower in our pod (Bramberry) was terrible. It kept fluctuating between boiling hot or freezing cold without me moving the temperature dial at all. Overall this is one of the most expensive places we have stayed on the NC500 but not worth the cost.

The pod was nice and clean and modern but would have preferred a partition between living room and bedroom. Also a bathroom with a door would have been more convenient. Location is very nice, quiet with lovely views. …

We stayed for one night whilst on the NC500 route. A beautiful gem of a place, well designed, fully functional kitchen, communal sauna and private hot tub which we made good use of. Close to Brora for facilities but a welcome piece of tranquility. Superb all round.

What a fantastic pod location! We were super impressed by the pods themselves, they were spaced apart, superbly clean, well stocked and immaculate. We were two adults, two children and a dog and didn't feel cramped at all. …

We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. The cabin really was excellent and so well thought out. The under floor heating and hot tub were excellent. Great location for the NC500 and easy to pop into the two to go to the co op for provisions. Cabin was well stocked for kitchen utensils and shower etc also great. Would thoroughly recommend.
