    Excellent in all aspects. Very well thought out Welcome Pack - take the time to read it through. Communication with the owner was above and beyond anything we've experienced at other rentals. That personal touch sealed the deal for this 5 star rating. Location is great. Good views from anywhere along the coast. We particularly enjoyed Duncansby Head Lighthouse and Stacks. We were also lucky enough to have a clear sky on the first night and got some aurora pics which cast a special glow over the memories we made during our stay.

    Incredibly well equipped and comfortable. The host has thought of everything! I usually favour hotels so I wasn’t sure if I’d like staying in a pod, but it was like being in your own mini hotel with a private driveway while enjoying complete silence as no walls are shared with anyone else.

    Couldn't fault anything

    A perfect pod, everything we needed, spotless and cosy. A lovely welcome basket with tea coffee chocolate and biscuit 😋 Hot shower, proper loo, microwave, hob, kettle and fridge. The bed was very comfy, so peaceful, just the sheep 🐑 and horses for neighbours. Highly recommended.

    We liked everything.

    We enjoyed a lot in the pod. You get everything what you need, and to be honest more than you need for example, games of kids, Netflix etc. It is amazing to see how beautifully planned the pod with all the bits and bobs.

    The location was abit far from a local shop or anything else. But that’s not the owners fault. Definitely think it would be ideal for two people rather than a family off 4

    The wee fire pit was good also the swing for the child. Nice to have a picnic table outside as well. Some beautiful beaches around the area.

    We both are disabled and we couldn't get to a shop so because we didn't bring a few items like milk, bread or much food because we assumed we'd be able to buy some out there we know now what we have to bring, the only issue is that we had to be out by 11 and because we were taking a bus we would have had to wait for over an hour for one in the pouring rain at that point and a taxi coming back into wick was £50... I don't have a single complaint otherwise. We are so grateful to Gillian and we are booking with her again... otherwise, we have nothing to say in terms of what we didn't like. She went over and above for us and couldn't be more grateful.

    We absolutely loved the remote location. The pod was truly amazing. 12 years we've been together and have 4 kids, and we've only ever had 1 date in that time. I decided that taking him away for a night was an absolute necessity. Finally, we were able to do it. He suggested a pod, which I've never seen before lol so I looked and not only was it a cozy place to be but there was a shower and loo, a little kitchenette, a microwave, a neat table and seats for 4. There was a sofa bed and a double. There was a TV with streaming services (but we watched a film on a tablet, lol. Gill asked how we were doing and she even had someone else who was coming as the guest in the next pod to grab some milk despite my saying "you don't have to" she said "no but I will" lol she really is so lovely and couldn't fault her at all. You couldn't go wrong by staying there. It was so quiet and serene, very idyllic and even the couple in the house across from the pods were lovely. I could go on and on and on lol. We maybe have had a new lease of life to our relationship and couldn't have asked for more or better. Oh, they have various extras and breakfasts etc so next time we will add some extras. Gill even allowed us to check in earlier than 4 so I, again can't complain at all.
