Beautiful and Cozy Stay

This was one of my partner and I’s favorite stays during our honeymoon. The hosts were very nice and wonderful to chat with. Our pod was clean and wonderful to stay in. The village is very walkable, which we loved. We would love to stay again!

Fantastic little pod near Loch Ness

Absolutely fantastic accommodations near Loch Ness. Central to many of the great sites Scotland has to offer! The renters Stuart and Xia were absolutely fantastic hosts and very friendly. They were willing to offer help as needed with laundry and anything else we needed during our stay! The Pod itself had everything you would need for a short stay on your vacation. I would highly recommend this spot for any couples making their way around the highlands wanting the best value for their stay! Enjoy!

Relaxing retreat

We loved our stay at the Hideaway Pod! The bed was very comfortable! We slept so well every night! We enjoyed relaxing in the private garden on sunny days. Stuart and Xia are fantastic hosts. The check-in couldn’t have been easier and they are nearby if you need anything. It felt like we were visiting old friends even though we had only just met. The location allowed for easy travel to all the places we wanted to visit in the Highlands, and having a parking spot for our car was a huge plus for us.

Exactly as expected

This is a lovely spot to get away from the hustle of city life. Its situated in a friendly town with pleanty of gorgeous views in the area. The castle is only 2 miles from the pod and the walk is breathtaking. The local restaurants are quite good as well. I would highly recomend staying here. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They paid attention to every detail.

Lovely decorated pod

The pod contains everything you need for a stay. The location is brilliant. Every corner of Scotland is easily accessible. Xia and Stewart are very attentive and loving. When we arrived, a heated pod with food and drink awaited us. The pod is lovely decorated. You feel welcome. What more do you need for a non-binding vacation? Xia and Stewart, thanks a lot for this unforgettable vacation. We enjoyed it a lot.
