Pros: This trip exceeded our expectations. The pod had everything we needed and more, the kitchen area was very well equipped, lovely sitting areas and the bed was sooo comfy!!! The surroundings were beautiful and we particularly loved doing the walk to kings caves- we were so lucky to have a gorgeous sunny morning. A relaxing dip in the hot tub each night was the perfect end to each days adventures. Already dreaming of our next visit!

Kings Cave Glamping - February 2026
Pros: Everything you need all in a pod! It's a great location, remote enough to feel remote but only a half hour drive to brodick. Great for an adventure to the kings caves. The duck pond is a great view to wake up to. The pods are arranged so that you are looking out at the pond rather than onto the other pods.
Cons: There could be more storage, a shelf or cupboard for food.

Great pod, recommend.
Pros: Lovely location, easy to find when you come of the ferry in Brodick (About 30 minutes drive). Once you arrive you easily get your keys with self check in. Nice to have parking right next to your pod as well. Delightful views, little pond with ducks and pheasants wandering around. Extremely clean rooms, very impressed with it. Little kitchen with the basics of 2 hob rings and a microwave. Nice amount of things in the cupboard as well. Little bit of cooking oil and salt. Obviously, it goes without saying to take your own product but that can be done easily at the CO-OP as you come of the boat. Beds are comfy as well, loved the window above the bed to wake up to the hills of Arran. Lots of charging plugs and lighting is good. Bathroom was fab, spotlessly clean. Highly recommend.
Cons: Online it was stated that there was a hairdryer in the room and after an extensive look we could not find any hairdryer within the pod, it was a shame of course as this was a little frustrating. Also, not a lot of teas, coffees and sugars in the little pot, so I would recommend taking your own as well. Also, no cafetiere.

Pros: Loved location, the lodge was stylish, spacious and exceptionally clean. Not to mention, kitted out with great wee bits like utensils.
Cons: The only thing my children moaned about was that the WiFi signal wasn't great.

Lovely location with animals and scenery surrounding it.
Pros: The lodge was a really good size. Location is good just off the main road but still nice and quiet and being surrounded by nature and animals was great! The shower was nice and powerful also. the lodges are spaced out well so didn’t feel overlooked either. Absolutely loved the bed! was very comfy!!
Cons: Although they say they are dog friendly id say more dog tolerant. I was disappointed with having to pay an extra fee per night most dog friendly places will add a standard charge for the full time plus a dog charge. Claiming to be dog friendly then asking you to pay another £15 per night per dog on top of the charge felt a bit of a con, nothing for the dog either no bowl or towel (which I’d expect in a dog friendly place). Unfortunately the WiFi was a bit poor especially when it is raining or windy it got worse but that wasn’t a huge issue as that’s expected on Arran with poor signal. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, and recommend to friends and family.

Lovely location, good parking, very clean and modern.
Pros: The pods were great - location was quite remote, there are lovely walks nearby (King Caves & Machrie Moor) but you really need a car to get to other parts of the island which suited us - we liked it being remote. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped, was perfect for a two night stay. Loved the highland cows right outside our window and the enclosed balcony for our dog. There is only one nearby restaurant (that we could find anyway) which is about a 10 minute drive, I’d book ahead as when we went on a Sunday they had no reservations left in the restaurant or bar. There are places to eat in Brodick which is about a 25/30 minute drive from the pods, we ended up just having food in the pod instead.
Cons: Only downside I can think of is that you are very close to the other pods, one of the pods next to us kept banging (not a clue what they were doing!) and as they’re so close it echoed right on to our pod. This will just be luck of the draw on who your neighbours are though.
