Ben
Brilliant stay at Pentland Pods, Hazel and Jim were lovely and were extremely helpful. The pod was wonderful and being only 25mins from centre of Edinburgh was perfect for exploring the city and the beaches beyond. The Hottub was wonderful and in a relaxing environment. In touching distance of Peebles great for walks and getting away from it all. I would recommend if you want to relax after a day in the city. Thanks Hazel and Jim for making our stay so great.

The pod and owners were just amazing , with walks not too far and a bus service that’s better than ours at home . Otherwise a car is needed to go further afield . Very private and quiet we used this to relax away from the midlands . There’s an information about the area in the pod which was very useful . Hoping to return one day

We spent 6 days at the Pentland Pod and it was perfect! Hazel and Jim could not have been more welcoming. The place was adorable, with everything that we could have needed. We would definitely stay again!
