We had such a great stay here. Travelling around the NC500 managed to grab a pod for the night. Although not amazing views to look out on from the pod, just over the ridge certainly makes up for it with the stunning beach.

NC500 pod - dog friendly

Perfect little pod - just what we needed after 3 nights in a tent. Being so close to Achmelvich beach makes it even better.

Has everything you could need

Absolutely brilliant. Just stayed one night but pod has everything you could need. Warm and comfortable and dog friendly too. Outdoor seating with BBQ and fire pit was brilliant extra we weren't expecting. Beach is just minutes away and is spectacular. Would thoroughly recommend and plan to visit again.

Never got a confirmation with lock number and there was no service in the area. Luckily someone from a different pod let us use their WiFi to call the host. Otherwise no issues. We liked the area and the beach that was walking distance

Cosy pod next to the beach

New experience for us. Comfortable and cosy despite howling gale and rain outside. Internet based TV and Alexa controls worked well. Got everything you need for a short stay. Probably a bit too cosy for four and certainly tricky to get stuff dry in the space available if you got a good soaking.

The setup is very good; the surrounding area, beaches, and Hermit's Castle are why we booked here for two nights. Unfortunately, the builders opposite decided to start work with a digger and heavy roller before 8 a.m., so our stay wasn't exactly peaceful. This was not the owner's fault, I should add. The pod was large and comfortable, but it really needs Starlink, as we couldn't use the internet on our phones. Some might find this acceptable, but others might not. Not being able to watch TV was disappointing for the price we paid. Both nights were the same. Don't let that put you off; I'm sure the groundworks are now finished, and some people don't mind not having TVs. We walked for miles, drove to other beaches, and enjoyed the area, and we recommend it to everyone. It won't put us off visiting their other site of pods on the east side of the NC500 next year

Nc500

Apart from Hotels.com not advising the check in process (we had an email but no reference to access codes or which pod we were allocated) the stay was great. We had to contact nc500 pods directly to gain access. However there was no mobile phone signal available but luckily there’s a pay phone right next to the accommodation! It was a frustration 30 minutes until we got the access code.

The pod was exactly like in pictures, very nice and well-equipped. Heated floor was chef-kiss. Not many food places/restaurants open in winter. We stayed for 3 nights so cooking was necessary but the place has everything we needed and made it easy. We stopped at tesco in Ullapool (1 hour away) for food stock. The nearby spar is also good for grocery but small so may not find everything. The pie shop called Lochinver Larder (near the spar) was AMAZING! Although I would say even though it says 4 people can stay, 2 adult per pod is probably better with the space. More importantly, the drive on NC500 itself makes it worth it! Spectacular view. And the nearby Achmelvich beach is beautiful (and very close). Great location!
