Luxury Hideaways — Hotel in Great Britain

We were expecting pure luxury from our stay at the glamping pods, however what we got was a bit disappointing after being hyped up by the website. |The palm reader on the gate was broken so we struggled to initially get into the pod, if you are vertically challenged it would have been difficult to get your arm over the gate to the lock on the other side.||The pod itself was clean inside, as was the bedding... apart from a dead spider at the back of the bed - not to be expected at a 5 star establishment. The pod was very small, including the wet room where you can literally use the toilet, whilst having a shower (always nice and warm with good pressure) and brushing your teeth over the sink all at the same time! It would definitely be no good for someone with disabilities however or mobility issues. Having a wet room was also annoying when needing the toilet after someone's had a shower, wet socks are certainly not luxurious, neither is crossing your legs until the floor dries!||The pod itself is pleasant enough inside, but on closer inspection requires a little TLC, some of the paint is peeling along the bottom of the shower, as the shower door was leaking and obviously peeling the paint with it, whilst leaving a puddle on the floor if the bath mat wasn't pushed right upto it (shower wasn't pointing at the door when in use). There was also bits of material poking off the blind behind the bed, little things like that you'd again expect to be perfect in a 5 star establishment. We were also woken to a "disco" light in the middle of the night. When the fridge light decided to be on the blink, the fridge door was clear glass, so we had to cover the door with several towels to get back to sleep.||There was plenty of tea and coffee as well as bottled water. The welcome hamper was average, certainly not as fancy as the one advertised on the website. For example the website shows plenty of fresh Scottish salmon, veal, fresh bread and other delicious looking Scottish treats. Salmon, veal and bread were not received and there wasn't anything in place of them either. I'm pretty sure that SCOTTISH salmon and veal in Scotland isn't going to run out, so this was clearly cost cutting. The website also lead us to believe that the items are locally sourced, so we were expecting purely Scottish items possibly from local small sellers. However, crackers from Australia and small pots of chutney from Devon were supplied, which was disappointing and clearly from the local Tesco!|The website also shows Bollinger champagne included in the hamper, which costs around £50 and would be much more luxurious than the cheap bottle of fizz received (a quick Google showed it cost £6.50 at the local Morrisons. Given, the website doesnt state that you will receive Bollinger but will receive "fizz", however when aiming to give customers the "luxury" experience that keeps being hammered home on the website, a £6.50 is hardly luxurious as we would spend more than this on our weekly bottle of wine at the local supermarket). The welcome hamper also didn't cater for allergies, which needs addressing.||The hot tub was nice, always warm as well as clean. There was a nice view and private also. Surrounded by fields and a few trees, so nice and quite, although you can see the road in the distance but that's far enough away not to cause any real noise or issues. ||All in all, the stay was pleasant and comfortable, but disappointing, especially for the price paid. We have stayed in many a 5 star establishment and feel we got more for our money at other places. In our eyes not quite the pure luxury as hyped up on the website, and certainly more of a 4 star than 5. But as the inside was clean and the hot tub a nice touch we probably would stay again but...

An incredible experience! Stayed here with my girlfriend for 1 night, I was really impressed with the standard of the pod - I’d had high hopes from the reviews, but it’s clear a lot of thought has gone in to the design and the attention to detail is excellent! Everything from the touchscreen to control the lighting, the quality of the robes and the inclusion of wireless charging by the bed (which is also extremely comfy!) were really nice touches that wouldn’t be out of place in a high end hotel. But what really stole the show is the hot tub which was warm on arrival and also easy to use - once in the tub the motion sensored lights went out meaning we could enjoy the night sky and stars with no light pollution, it was such a nice experience! The hamper provided was much like the rest of the pod, very well thought out and executed- a selection of cured meats, fine local cheeses, a bottle of chilled Prosecco (thanks to the neat little fridge!) and luxury chocolates were among the selection! All in all a truly wonderful experience, communication with Angus was great and it was nice to see how passionate he is about the pods! Would...

This was our first post COVID trip and we couldn't have chosen anywhere better for the occasion. It was self service check in with a hand sanitizer station available before you enter your pod. The pod itself was beautiful and so luxurious. The cleanliness of the pod and grounds were exemplary. Outside there is a great hot tub with even better views. We loved sitting in the hot tub watching the local wildlife. There was lots of treats left in the pod for us including prosecco, cheese, meats and chocolates. We went to explore Crieff for a couple of hours on our second day and arrived back to discover even more treats had been delivered to our door, which we weren't expecting at all but hugely appreciated. Angus was always on hand via text message if we needed anything. Thank you for a lovely relaxing weekend. We hope to try out the other pods that are being opened across the...
