Outside
The view
You are right out in the great outdoors. Situated in a rural setting, the pods face south so you can make the most of the sun in the beautiful Scottish countryside. Ballagan Farm still runs sheep and cattle in the fields around the pods, so do not be surprised to wake up to them grazing just beyond the fence — it is about as far from a caravan park as glamping gets.
