Luxury Glamping Pod surrounded by nature.

NC500 Base Camp is surrounded by dense woodland, the majority of which is owned by the forestry commission, and attracts a wide array of wildlife, ranging from deer and pine marten on the ground, to numerous types of birds of prey and midges in the sky!

The renowned Falls of Shin, where leaping salmon can be seen from the viewing platform, can be heard from the pod and are just a couple of hundred metres away with established walks in all directions. Within a short walk from NC500 Base Camp there is a visitor centre. allowing dogs, open subject to seasonal opening hours. The Falls of Shin are positioned right in the heart of the North Coast 500 route making it a great base from which you can explore a truly unique landscape.

With zero light pollution and regular sitings of the northern lights in the area, along with more stars than most will see in their life, the most challenging decision of your holiday is whether to relax inside or out!

We personally found it lacking storage space - but we are both wildlife photographers so loads of equipment. The hosts were great, and took on board our comments. Take provisions, nearest shop is in Lairg about 3-4 miles up the road. Very close to Shin falls (leaping salmon) & a couple of good walks from the visitor centre, within walking distance of the Pod. Would I recommend this pod to others - Yes.

Short 3 night break
Great place to spend a few days exploring the North. Everything we needed to fully self cater was available in the pod. Communication with Matthew, the owner, was excellent. Comfortable bed, good shower and well equipped kitchen.

Pod hideaway great link for east coast beaches and west coast touring.
Had a 3 night stay in this pod. Very clean and super comfy bed. Only downside was we had to keep the doors closed when in the pod as midgies were really bad due to no breeze and surrounded by forest.

Magical cabin in the woods
Could not fault this place, had an amazing time exploring the local trails and falls, as well as further afield on the east coast for the beginning of our NC500 honeymoon! Thanks so much Matthew!

Very accommodating owners. Nice location.
I booked this getaway for my birthday just my dog and I. I was pleasantly surprised at how peaceful the location was. Genuinely loved it! It has pretty much everything you need for a quiet time away from all the noise. I love photography so I was delighted that I had regular wildlife visits. For my last two days there was a weather warning in place which wasn't the best news I could have predicted, but this was when I was extremely delighted when Mr Brooks offered me an extra night as there was no one due that morning. Genuine kindness and for that I will 100% be back in future!

Lovely little pod!
We enjoyed our stay at the pod very much. It is located perfectly amongst beautiful woodland. The pod itself is comfy, cozy and romantic. The owners communicate very well and even left a little birthday gift for my partner!

Fantastic pod and perfect location!
We had a really lovely stay - the location is amazing right by the Falls of Shin where you can watch the salmon leaping! There are lots of trails nearby plus some amazing day trip options. The pod was great and private and had all the essentials needed. Highly recommend!
