Excellent location and views. Lodge was very cozy. Beds were really comfortable. Quite steep walks from lodges but this goes with its location and views which are excellent. Found plenty to do in our weeks stay and some really nice woodland walks near Tain, some nice restaurants within easy driving distance.

Couldn't fault the Pod in anyway. Great location, so peaceful. The views are amazing. So relaxing in the hot tub. On a clear night you can see across The Moray Firth to Nairn and The Cairngorms beyond. Twice seen huge cruise liners passing by. A good base to explore The Highlands and North of Scotland.
