  • Hand-crafted pod with valley views at Glendale on the Isle of Skye
  • Neist Point Lighthouse 15 minutes’ drive; Dunvegan Castle 25 minutes
  • Kitchenette, private decking and firepit; shop 10 minutes’ walk
Located on a six-acre croft in the village of Glendale in the north-west of Skye, Glendale Studio Pods is home to stylish and hand-crafted mini abodes that make a cosy retreat for couples (and up to two canine chums) seeking a romantic Hebridean hideaway. And you won’t be disturbed – it’s so quiet here, apparently even the sheep whisper. Inside, each luxurious pod has floor-to-ceiling windows – all the better to admire views up the glen to the flat-topped MacLeod’s Table – along with characterful oak-pegged beams and waney-edge shelving. A double bed, a comfy sofa and a dining table are provided too, plus an electric fire to keep everyone warm. Things to make your life easy include USB charging points for devices and storage space for your kit (take plenty of layers to combat the unpredictable Skye weather). The kitchenette and bathroom are equipped with everything you need; just be aware the shower is a tad on the small side due the constraints of the building. French doors lead onto the decking for lazing around on summer evenings as the sun sets, or cuddling up around the firepit for alfresco barbecue suppers. There’s little light pollution, so if the sky is clear after dark, climb into the hammock and gaze up at the stars – you might get lucky and spot the Northern Lights flashing colours across the sky. There’s a shop in Glendale (10 minutes’ walk) for essentials, plus a sprinkling of restaurants and cafés at about the same distance.

What customers say

Guests highlight the stunning, peaceful location of the Glendale pods, perfect for a quiet escape. Pods are described as cozy, well-equipped, and modern, offering beautiful views. A well-stocked local shop is convenient. While one guest experienced issues with a smoke detector near the hot plate and inconsistent Wi-Fi, the manager has since resolved the Wi-Fi problem. The pods offer a secluded and safe environment for families to explore.

Moonrise microlodge

Liked I recently stayed in one of the pods at the Isle of Skye in Glendale, and it was an experience I won’t forget! The location is absolutely stunning—right in the heart of nature, surrounded by the beautiful Scottish landscape.

The pod itself was cozy and well-equipped, making it a perfect little retreat. I particularly loved the big windows; they let in so much light and offered amazing views of the hills and sky. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, which is always a plus when you’re traveling.

It was nice to have basic amenities, like a kettle and some kitchenware, so I could prepare simple meals. The pod was clean and had a modern feel, while still blending with the natural surroundings.

One thing to note is that it’s a bit off the beaten path, so if you’re looking for nightlife or lots of dining options nearby, this might not be the spot for you. However, if you love hiking or just want to unwind in a peaceful place, it’s perfect.

Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay at the Glendale pods and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a breathtaking location. I can’t wait to come back

Moonrise microlodge

Liked A beautiful location - so peaceful and it was perfect as our friends had the other cabin!
Everything you need is there and don't bother shopping before you come, the local shop has EVERYTHING you need.

Disliked The smoke detector was positioned over the hot plate so even with a window open, I couldn't make anything without the alarm going off - but that's it really. The top cabin that our friends had had way better wifi. Ours was hit and miss. We went to theirs to make contact with home and we wanted some peace so it didn't spoil the stay.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments, so nice to see families enjoying our little piece of paradise. Sorry to hear the Wi-Fi wasn’t up to scratch, we have since identified the glitch and have now resolved the problem so the Wi-Fi is now tip top.

Best EVER!

Blue Skye microlodge

Liked This was the perfect escape from the real world! There are just 2 pods on the property and my friend and i booked them with our kids (1 adult 1 child each). We felt so safe and secluded in these beautiful cabins. The kids (9 years) had a great time exploring and building fires for marshmallows.

It was such a breathe of fresh air, with ease and access of everything we needed.

There is a small (but fully stocked) little shop near the pods and it even has Gluten Free options!!!

The views were amazing, everything was amazing. I will 100% stay again!

Local attractions

Most people head to Skye for the dramatic scenery, and it’s easy to see why. Ditch the car and take a gentle amble down the road to Loch Pooltiel (20 minutes’ walk), where you can go wild swimming or chill on the shingle beach while keeping a look out for seals and otters. It’s back in the car to reach Talisker Bay Beach (an hour’s drive) and catch a few surfing waves (if conditions are right) or admire the jagged cliffs. Neist Point Lighthouse (15 minutes) is an excellent spot for sea fishing, whale-watching and the outside chance to spot white-tailed eagles, among the UK’s largest, rarest raptors. To learn about Skye history, head for Dunvegan Castle and Gardens (25 minutes), where exhibitions will take you into the realms of Clan MacLeod heritage. The Skye Museum of Island Life (an hour and 15 minutes) gives an insight into traditional croft farming, and you can make a day of it by stopping off at the rugged, multi-peaked Old Man of Storr (an hour and five minutes) on the way back to Glendale.
