Compact well laid out pod. Everything you need for a short stay. What a view to wake up to in the morning. Great access to main areas in Glencoe and an easy walk to the pub.

Really enjoyed the separate lounge area - good to play family games and have quiet place to read. Amazing location. We walked down the beautiful path along the road for 15 min to get to pub for dinner one night.
