Very lovely stay in the pod. It was clean and cozy and comfortable. We did not receive the instructions for how to check in but contacted the host and solved the problem. It was stressful because there is very little internet access in that area. The beautiful beach is a short walk away.

No beach view, unique stay which we enjoyed, shame it was right beside the road with little privacy.

Although lovely and clean and exactly as described, after hotels and a cottage the Pod was a bit small for us with hindsight. Was warm and well-equipped and is within easy walking distance to the beautiful beaches.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable and convenient pod, fun, a great stop on our NC500 road trip! Great dining options locally in Lochinver, but book well ahead in peak season!

Perfect location, heating took a while to warm the pod, shower and bath both great. The sign is missing for parking so not obvious where you should park. Other than that it was almost a 5 out of 5!

NC500 pod - dog friendly

Perfect little pod - just what we needed after 3 nights in a tent. Being so close to Achmelvich beach makes it even better.

Overall enjoyed our stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The pod was clean and tidy and had lots of facilities. Was a bit disappointed that there was no free standing bath in the pet friendly pod. We found the bed slightly firmer than preferred.

We had such a great stay here. Travelling around the NC500 managed to grab a pod for the night. Although not amazing views to look out on from the pod, just over the ridge certainly makes up for it with the stunning beach.

Has everything you could need

Absolutely brilliant. Just stayed one night but pod has everything you could need. Warm and comfortable and dog friendly too. Outdoor seating with BBQ and fire pit was brilliant extra we weren't expecting. Beach is just minutes away and is spectacular. Would thoroughly recommend and plan to visit again.

A brief visit to Achmelvich and NC 500 Pods

A short, but very enjoyable visit (2 days) in a most beautiful area of the Highlands - even in the bitter cold of winter. The pods were very warm and comfortable with everything you need. Would happily visit again - and also visit Lochinver Larder about 3 miles away - an excellent choice of pies to eat in the cafe, or take back to the lodge - recommended.

Cosy pod next to the beach

New experience for us. Comfortable and cosy despite howling gale and rain outside. Internet based TV and Alexa controls worked well. Got everything you need for a short stay. Probably a bit too cosy for four and certainly tricky to get stuff dry in the space available if you got a good soaking.

Never got a confirmation with lock number and there was no service in the area. Luckily someone from a different pod let us use their WiFi to call the host. Otherwise no issues. We liked the area and the beach that was walking distance

The pod was exactly like in pictures, very nice and well-equipped. Heated floor was chef-kiss. Not many food places/restaurants open in winter. We stayed for 3 nights so cooking was necessary but the place has everything we needed and made it easy. We stopped at tesco in Ullapool (1 hour away) for food stock. The nearby spar is also good for grocery but small so may not find everything. The pie shop called Lochinver Larder (near the spar) was AMAZING! Although I would say even though it says 4 people can stay, 2 adult per pod is probably better with the space. More importantly, the drive on NC500 itself makes it worth it! Spectacular view. And the nearby Achmelvich beach is beautiful (and very close). Great location!
