Inside

Inside the pod

The kitchen comes with everything you need: an air fryer, kettle and toaster, plus a two-ring cooker top in the Thistle Pod or an electric frying pan in the Rose Pod. All crockery and utensils are supplied in each pod. Bedding, towels, robes and slippers are included in your stay. There is a flat-screen TV in the corner for a lazy evening in, and a proper dining table if you would rather sit down to eat than balance a plate on your knee.

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.
