Atlantic Sunset Pod, Isle of Benbecula

Great view, private, outside space, cosy, well kitted out. Easy and efficient communication with host.

the location was excellent few of the sea chickens and ducks roamingfree

none it was good

The pod was lovely and colourful and very warm and cosy. The bed was very comfortable and after the wind died down I had a great sleep. The shower room was great. Nice shower good facilities.

The sofa was hard as stone and not at all comfortable. I washed my hair and there was nowhere for me to plug in my hairdryer near a mirror. There was no mirror in the living area only in the shower room. I searched for a vegetable knife and couldn`t find one but perhaps that was just me. The Wi-Fi was really slow. I spent all night uploading photos to share with friends and normally it would have taken a few minutes. Then there was the wind which nobody can do anything about but everything seemed to rattle around me when I went to bed and tried to sleep. Thankfully it died down during the night.

The pod is aptly named, as it looks out across fields and to the Atlantic Ocean. It is in a great, quiet location with a beach a few minutes walk away. It had everything we needed to self-cater for a few days.

Although the pod is in a great location the condition of the pod and its contents could be best described as 'tired' and in need of a refurbish. Although everything worked, many items were an oddly matched assortment of equipment. Things were a little 'battered'. The shower unfortunately leaked, due to it being not level. This, if not careful, soaked the floor and was soaking into the woodwork of the pod, which left unchecked will cause lasting damage. All of this wasn't a problem but our biggest issue was the sofa (actually a sofa-bed), which was very very uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time.
