    Fantastic pod with amazing views. Clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen area and a fab shower. Small but perfectly formed. Lovely welcome pack.

    If you are looking for somewhere where you want to get away from it all, this is the place for you. The pod itself is immaculate, with decking outside with a table to sit at and chill. Everything inside is great, with underfloor heating for the chilly nights, very comfortable interior, would recommend either for a loan traveller or a couple, or even a small family, with the sofa bed.

    Nothing at all What I would suggest is a long handled broom to sweep the floor if possible.

    Loved everything. From the moment we walked in, the little treats left by the host, the cleanliness of the pod, to the views afforded by the location, stunning. Everything you could possibly need was there. Very comfortable bed too, 😀 Thank you

    Only one thing we would have loved and it's irrelevant really... but a throw or a blanket for watching the sunset would have been the icing on the cake for my.girlfriend. The sunsets are fantastic. We really loved our stay here

    It was superb. View is fabulous. Own private spacious garden and drive area, and you are not overlooked or next door to anyone. The owners have designed this so tastefully and have tried to consider everything. We were super impressed with how well they had thought things out whilst maximising space eg Having an overhead heater in the bathroom next to the towel hook to dry the towels/a hidden microwave in the cupboard to save surface space. It was truly wonderful and we would 100% recommend.

    The Pod was exactly as described and shown in the photos. Very clean, all equipment obviously very new and well kept. The cupboards are well stocked with cooking equipment and creatively laid out for the small space available. The welcome pack was much appreciated, including milk and cheese! And the toiletries are lovely! The location is very quiet and rural, exactly what we wanted, and the views are incredible as described.

    Nothing not to like, but be sure to keep a look-out for the property on the right and not be staring at the fabulous views on the left and drive straight past it! If the road turns unmade you have gone too far.

    Remote location with stunning views. Good amount of space within the site of the pod for car parking. Nice area of decking with a picnic bench. Level and quality of equipment very good with nothing extra needed. Nice walk-in shower, comfortable main area and fully equipped kitchen. Nice touch to provide some milk, cheese, jams etc. Good level of communication when we hit a problem with our ferry being cancelled and helpful responses.

    I could say the weather but that wasn't the pods fault 😀. Can't rate it highly enough brilliant place

    Everything, it was an ideal place to rest our heads after a day's fishing on this wonderful island . The pod was clean, well laid out, and so peaceful plus the views looking across south lochboisdale especially with the sun hitting it in the morning were stunning .

    The pod is brilliantly kitted out and spotless. The view is wonderful. Amazing to have a full oven and lovely to have such a selection of goodies and quality soaps.

    Pleasing about this pod is the privacy and the view. Looking at other pods on the island, some are next to others, or pretty much in other people's gardens. This one is on top of a small hill, with a great view over the sea loch. Beautifully warm and cosy, great shower, good soaps, bedding and towels all super, excellent kitchen provisions, lovely helpful little collection of tasty things and milk for arrival. Very helpful host.

    Nothing really.

    The pod was complete in every sense of the word. Situated on a small hill overlooking the bay gives wonderful views. It has a full kitchen, a small table and chairs, sofa, surprisingly large shower, and a two person bed wich was a little snug for the two of us. The pod was decorated very nicely. The owners left a small welcome package as wel. The deck outside with lighting finished it off. It truly was a luxurious and cosy pod wich I recommend to anyone, even if you never slept in a pod before, like us. Dick & jorien Netherlands

    I’ve stayed in pods before and love them. Gorgeous Meall Ard is truly in a league of its own. It’s outstandingly well equipped, comfortable and very cosy. The layout is an absolute credit to the owners, utilising the space to top effect. Luxurious Highland soap products and lovely bed linen adds to the amazing experience. Outside space is a treat and I sat at breakfast time soaking up the view across to Lochboisdale. Watched beautiful sunsets and enjoyed the deck area lit up after dark. I would definitely choose to stay here when back to the islands. Big thank you for all the welcome treats too
