It was pretty standard, but honestly, the weather was lovely so we didn’t hang around much. The hot tub was a real plus! No outdoor seating, so we grabbed a couple of chairs from a nearby supermarket - they worked fine, no fuss at all.

We had a decent stay overall, with all the essentials covered. However, we couldn’t quite understand why dogs are charged extra since there’s no difference in the facilities whether you have a pet or not. Also, it’s a bit annoying that there are no public waste bins around-had to carry the dog waste bags with us everywhere!

We've been here twice now and absolutely love it. Already planning to return this year. Told our friends about it too-they're heading in February, can't wait!

Perfect size for us and very comfy too.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ballard Pod 4. The space was perfect for four of us and the hot tub was a lovely touch. It’d be great if there were a dustpan and brush, plus some hooks for coats and towels. Still, we had a lovely time!

James

We didn't get the original room we booked because of a last-minute change, but honestly, if it was an upgrade, we're pretty happy it happened. Made the trip a bit more special!

Unfortunately, we didn't stay here as we were moved before our arrival. Quite disappointing.

We stayed for two nights in the pod and honestly, it looked just like the pictures-really lovely. The hot tub was a highlight, with a stunning view over fields and hills, which was a total relaxer. The check-in was smooth, with a friendly lady greeting us and telling us the owner was just finishing up with the hot tub checks. Inside, there was a big fridge freezer and a TV with Netflix and other apps, so we could just log in and chill out. The only downsides? The bed was a bit on the firm side and there wasn’t any outdoor furniture, but the owner was super helpful and gave us some chairs to sit on. There was also a handy info book with ideas for things to do, places to eat and local attractions. If you ask us, Ballard 1 is the better spot-away from the main road, on a quiet side road, which makes it more peaceful.

Really enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was fantastic and the pod had all we needed inside.

James

Date of stay: 3rd January 2024

We had a really nice stay! The pod was spotless and spacious and the hot tub was just what we needed. The warden and owner came by when we arrived late, both super friendly and helpful. Definitely planning to come back again!

We had a lovely stay overall, but we did find there weren’t enough plates and cutlery for our family of six. A WiFi connection for the kids would’ve been a nice addition too! Definitely worth considering for future visits.

We recently stayed at this place and honestly, the views are stunning - you get a fantastic outlook across to the Isle of Arran which makes the trip worthwhile just for that. The hot tub was definitely the highlight, offering real luxury and a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The heating system kept everything cosy and the hot water boiler worked a treat, so no complaints there. Plus, the TV had a decent selection of channels, which was nice for some downtime. The decor is quite simple but looks tidy and inviting and the place was spotless when we arrived, which is always appreciated. That said, we did find some issues, especially considering the price we paid over Christmas. It felt a bit sparse - no shelves or cabinets in the bathroom or shower area to store toiletries and only a tiny bathroom mat was provided. There’s just one small mirror in the bathroom and none elsewhere, which was a bit inconvenient. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe above the bed, but no shelves or charging stations for gadgets. The smaller bedroom is pretty minimal - just a single bed with no other furniture or shelves, so we had to put our glass of water on the floor overnight. The living space is comfortable enough with a sofa bed and a coffee table, but there’s no lamps or soft lighting options, so the lighting is either all or nothing, which can be a bit harsh. The kitchen was a bit of a letdown - no corkscrew, no tin opener, only one sharp knife and very little cutlery. There was no welcome basket or any basic supplies like tea, coffee, or milk - which was surprising. We had some tins leftover from camping, so we managed, but if not, we’d have been stuck. Overall, if you stay here, make sure to bring everything you might need, especially essentials like a corkscrew or tin opener. The views are fantastic and it’s a good spot for exploring, but just be prepared for a few missing bits.

We loved the tranquillity and breathtaking scenery here!

Date of stay: 13th November 2023

Honestly, this stay was a bit of a nightmare from the get-go. They totally bungled our booking, leaving us a bed short and we only got £50 compensation which felt a bit stingy. One of the rooms was missing a blind and there was no bedding for the pull-out couch, so that was a pain. The toilet light switch was jammed between the cupboard and the wall and only my five-year-old could turn it on! The jacuzzi was filthy and slimy and there were flies everywhere-really off-putting. Also, no tin opener in the kitchen and despite what the website says, they never had high chairs or pop-up cots available. We didn’t see a park ranger at all either. Not the best experience, that’s for sure!

Lovely spot, super friendly team and the lodge had everything we needed. Definitely returning!
