    Whilst there was a net on the front door, the midges still got in (and you could not open the windows else they came in there too). There was a cooktop but no exhaust to avoid setting of the smoke alarm. There was no way to block the sunlight properly in summer.

    The pod contained everything you need except an oven (had a cooktop though). The verandah was nice to sit on when there was no rain or midges. The bed was comfortable enough and the internet worked well. Air-conditioning worked well. The host provided a range of locally produced bathroom products and a small selection of tea and coffee. Free parking.

    An excellent three nights spent in what was out first 'Pod' experience, thoroughly recommend it

    There is a lack of shelving in the pod, also the one shelf above the cooker has a rather dangerous corner that you can easily catch your head on. That need Chamfering off. Or better still extend the shelf right across the kitchen area. The small shelf above the Bed too high , it just needs to be lowered about 3 inches to more comfortably reach it when you're in bed. We found the microwave too complicated, it is a super machine but needs time to master!

    Very neat and clean place with excellent facilities everything your could need is supplied

    Could do with a small chest of draws to put some clothes in, prob didn’t need a sofa big enough for 4 people as personally I w oils rather have a small chest of draws to put some clothes away in. Otherwise everything you need is available.

    Lovely setting and comfortable.

    I'm not sure if there was one, I couldn't see it, but having a brush and pan to help keep the place tidy would be great.

    The pod was very cosy, warmed up quickly with the heater on. Amazing location with picturesque scenery, short walk to the ferry for Handa Island. The water was nice and fresh, I did try the unfiltered water and had no issues. It is located in a peaceful area, with no noise apart from occasional vehicles heading to the ferry. The pod was clean and tidy, with no issues at all during our stay, and I would highly recommend it.

    Hot water was a bit temperamental (although shower was good) . Abandoned quad bike spoiled the outside area/ambience.

    Stunning location. A real piece of heaven. Porridge was a nice touch. Sea view. Great parking space. Great decking area to watch the sunset and enjoy a drink.

    Can’t think of anything. We loved the entire experience!

    We loved the remote location! It was so quiet in April and the only other people we saw were the Handa Island ferry boat operators. The pod was so comfortable and cozy and Karla added so many unique touches to make us feel welcome and at home!

    Some technical issues; microwave instructions only found after enquiry, could not get regular free to air channels on TV at all. (though I did get ITV X!) No apparent means of adjusting heating.

    Fresh clean bedlinen, which was not a certainty after previous stay in a 'bunkhouse' had required purchase of sleeping bag. Excellent range of self catering facilities.

    Everything but you have to accept or better love that you are away from everything else, except the ferry and (excellent!) restaurant to Handa island. If you are lucky with the weather, you have unique view of the sunset directly from your patio.

    For me every thing was perfect - just a shame that I was not able to make many sightings of the Eagles !

    Perfect location with a great view in this secluded location. At this time of the year the visitor numbers were reasonably low but I would not like to transit the access roads when summer traffic is heavy.

    There's not much around mid September. Make sure to do groceries before you get here for all the days you're staying.

    Cozy space with an amazing view, no noise whatsoever. It's been a great place to rest up.
