We had a week in Scotland in a campervan and this was our last stop on the way home so we decided to have a break from the van and booked a pod. Really spacious and warm, and the enclosed patio was a bonus so the dogs could relax. Didn't know we had to book for a meal, but they were very nice and squeezed us in. Food was delicious and very reasonable and we even got a box of meat for a nominal fee for the dogs. Lovely place for a stop off north or south. Only downside was that the shower was in the pub, so couldn't have one in a morning, but other than that can't fault it.
