The accomodation resembles an upturned boat and is much more spacious than the "usual" arched roof glamping pods that are now commonplace on the NC500. We stayed in one of these in both Brora and Inverlochy. The ability to walk around the double bed was much appreciated by older travellers like ourselves. The cooking area offered a toaster, double ring hob and microwave and there was a decent sized fridge, so cooking our own breakfast was no issue. We ate in Loch Inver but would not particularly recommend Delilah's as value for money, but Peets was unfortunately closed for the week and Loch Inver Larder pies were closed on Monday. The soft furnishings and decor were all imacculate and we would be happy to return on another trip, excepting the wet room issue. See comments below.
We didn't get sent the code for the lockbox until 4.00pm on the day of check in. We were travelling in West Scotland without a reliable internet connection, so did not get the message until 5.07pm when I logged in to the property's WiFi. I had to call the owner to get the code, he was a little surprised as he believed Booking.com sent the code at 4.00pm and I was calling at 4.45pm and still hadn't received it. As it happens the WiFi password is visible on the entrance door but I wasn't looking for it from outside!
The main issue with the property and why it doesn't get a straight 10/10 from me is that the shower room is a wet room with the shower above the wash basin. If you've ever used one of these on a cruise ship you'll know that you end up getting wet socks or dirty feet! The design and use of space is otherwise excellent but instead of a storage box in the corner by the bathroom door I would have extended the bathroom to allow for a shower cubicle. We had a full quarter or 120 degree shower cubicle in "glamping pods" which were much smaller than this one.
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2025
Well equipped cabin on very quiet back road with impressive views out over the water and to the peaks beyond. Nice beach a short drive away, walkable if you have enough time. Cafes and restaurant in nearby village about 5 minutes drive, not really walkable.
17.00 check in time we felt was a bit late, if it had been earlier we would probably have explored the area more. Nice to sit outside and look at the view until the midges became too annoying which wasn't a surprise given the location. Couldn't get the TV to work properly when we did have to go inside and couldn't find a wifi code if there was one.

"We were in the self catering house, and it had absolutely everything we could need. They thankfully had tea, coffee and sugar. The views were outstanding and the short walk to Achmelvich beach, which ..."
