Blackwater Glamping Pods

Our first time in a glamping pod and it won’t be our last. These were well equipped, warm and clean. Friendly owner who couldn’t do enough to help. Walks and views near by are breathtaking. Great base to explore the area.

This was our final stop on the West Highland Way and I was a bit apprehensive! The pods were actually really comfortable. I rented a sleeping bag, pillow and towel and was glad to see that you also received a sleeping bag liner as I was unsure how renting a sleeping bag actually worked! Each pod had a fridge, power, kettle and tv. I’d acquired tea / coffee / milk sachets in the other hotels along the way to have a morning coffee and make a flask of tea for the final day. The mattress was comfier than expected and I had a great nights sleep - might have had something to do with the 21 miles walked that day! Showers and toilets were clean and it was an overall enjoyable experience!

I wasn't sure what to make of these. The photos make them look bigger than they are. They have access to a separate toilet area and shower block which is clean but small. There are only two toilet cubicles in the gents and three in the ladies'. They have a heater, microwave and fridge but there is very little space for bags or clothes. The location has the river on one side but a car park and tents on the other side. If you go ask for a pod facing the river. There is no glamour in this glamping.
