Wilding on a Whim

Liked: Newly refurbed pods, modern, fully equipped, comfortable beds, heater warmed up the pod within minutes, location was great, we ate at two restaurants in west Linton which were amazing - The Gordon Arms Hotel & The Pyet. Also went for breakfast at Whitmuir cafe a few minutes down the road, lovely place with a farm shop. We went to Edinburgh zoo & explored the city, it took around 30-40 minutes drive. We had a few issues trying to light the firepit due to the damp weather, we rang the mobile contact and a lovely lady was there in a few minutes to help out with kindling, fire lighters and a lighter, she also replaced the torch which wasn’t working. We enjoyed toasting some marshmallows around the fire. Perfect family stay. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you so much.

Liked: The setting was lovely, with a pleasant little walk close by just as advertised, Great for nature lovers as there were the sounds of birds and sheep all around giving a nice peaceful feel and we also spotted squirrels and a deer outside too. The pod was clean and bed was cosy and comfortable. A welcome gift of milk, eggs and tea things on arrival was a nice touch and most appreciated. We opted not to light a fire but all you needed to do so was provided. It’s a short drive to the station 20 mins where you can catch the Scotrail train to Edinburgh and nearby Dalkeith had plenty of shops and restaurants for food and dining out.

Disliked: Would have preferred a small 2 seater sofa rather than a futon as I don’t find futons comfortable but wouldn’t put me off revisiting.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! Sorry to hear the sofa wasn't to your taste, it converts to a bed allowing us to accommodate families with children but I'm so pleased to hear it wouldn't put you off of coming to visit again!

Liked: Brilliantly appointed pod in a great location. We loved staying here for two nights and the location was perfect for a trip to Glentress. The pod was really cleverly appointed with everything four people would need for a few nights stay. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom perfect with a great shower. Really loved the eggs and also hot drinks and biscuit on arrival too. The seating outside and the picnic tables were great. Would highly recommend.

Disliked: The fire alarm and the toaster did make for a noisy combination
