unfriendly staff payment issue
the location was magical, right by the forest and near the loch.
The bar staff were not very friendly during check in. One even asked me to pay again, though i had already paid, needing 15 minutes to confirm the payment situation.

the pod itself was cozy and clean. i found the bar to have a great atmosphere (it made for a very fun evening). the food at the bar was delicious. i especially enjoyed the burger, it was nice.

decent pod stay

loch location short walk good food shower distance services inclusion seating space
the location near the loch was very nice. it was close enough for a short walk. the staff at the bar were friendly. food was served quickly and it tasted good.
the shower was a bit far from the pod. pods lacking services included were not convenient. i think the pod is not suitable for four adult guests. there was not enough space to sit.

COSY Pod Experience!

equipped pod close proximity play area
The pod included a fridge, microwave, and kettle. Heating kept us very cosy throughout the night. My daughters especially loved the play area and the close proximity to the beach on the loch. The location of the pods was AMAZING!!!
I did find the pods very small. It would be suitable for only one or two people. There is no running water within the pods, also no toilet facilities are available inside.

The bar next door was super. The food tasted great and the portions were big. There was a little shop on site that was very handy for picking up essential items.
