Camping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pods (No Dogs)Mar 2024

Lovely, cosy, well equipped pod a very short walk from the beautiful beach at Achmelvich. Good communication and easy to access. Sadly not the weather for a barbecue or to enjoy the outdoor area but four adults slept well.

Camping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pods (Dog Friendly)Oct 2023

Super cosy pods, after our draughty old house it felt very luxurious, I didn't even have to wear my bed socks! 😅 The attention to detail in and out was excellent, and the outside area around the pods was also very well maintained. The bed was so comfy and child two gave the sofa bed a big thumbs up. All in all, the boys, dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our little adventure and I would highly recommend NC500 pods!
