“I stayed at the Last Resort Pod for 10 nights - just me and my dog, and it truly felt like a home away from home.”
From the moment we arrived, it was clear how thoughtful the host was — a lovely welcome food package had been left for us, including butter, bread, milk, fresh orange juice, cereal, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and even treats for my dog, which was such a kind touch.
The pod itself was immaculate — spotless, warm, and incredibly cosy. The bed was honestly the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in while on holiday, which made our stay even more relaxing. But what really makes this place ...

The pod itself was immaculate — spotless, warm, and incredibly cosy. The bed was honestly the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in while on holiday, which made our stay even more relaxing. But what really makes this place special are the views — absolutely incredible from every angle. Waking up to that scenery each morning was a dream.
The location is wonderfully peaceful and quiet, with plenty of beautiful walks straight from the pod. At night, the sky was full of stars, and we could hear owls calling — such a magical experience. Just a short walk away, we were lucky enough to come across gorgeous Highland cows and their baby, which was a real highlight of the trip.
The location is also perfect for exploring the surrounding area. Glencoe is only about 40 minutes away — we took the ski lift, visited the National Trust centre, saw the deer near Kingshouse Hotel (from a respectful distance — please don’t feed them!), and explored the famous Skyfall filming location. We also loved stopping at the Clachaig Inn — the staff were lovely, it was very dog-friendly, and the food was incredible.
Oban is around 38 minutes away, and from there we took a CalMac ferry to the Isle of Mull (Calmac - dog friendly and amazing customer service), which I’d highly recommend as a day trip. Even though some places were closed as it was out of season, Oban still had plenty of charming shops and cafés to enjoy. We also discovered some beautiful, quiet beaches with stunning views nearby.
I honestly couldn’t fault our stay — it was relaxing, scenic, and exactly what we needed. I would highly recommend the Last Resort Pod to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the Highlands, and I’m already looking at booking again!
