First time Glampers ! Very impressed: excellent communication from Alastair before and during our 2 night stay which was so helpful and reassuring , an impressively comfortable , spacious and cleverly designed pod with WiFi which was amazingly strong enough for my husband to stream Arsenal v Real Madrid on his iPhone , considering we were in a field ! Surprisingly spacious bathroom with decent water pressure in the standard size shower and ( very ) hot water , comfortable beds , beautiful quintessentially Scottish picture postcard views and good quality kitchen basics ie decent wine glasses and a cafetière . Some reviews suggest a microwave but I disagree as the kitchen is a series of shelves rather than work surfaces , ( mini fridge below ), so the way to go is wine , cheese , fresh fruit etc in front of the fire and / or BBQ which Cardross can supply if in season. .We had sunshine and torrential rain and genuinely enjoyed the pod in both weathers. Cosy pounding rain interspersed with magnificent night skies when dry. Fabulous .

We actually liked everything and on leaving felt we could have added a further night , but as first time Glampers - on our way down from a stay at super comfortable , traditional Dumfries House - didn’t want to risk more than the minimum 2 night stay . My husband had promised to try the first night with the proviso we may not do the second but Cardross glamping is a different experience , definitely glamping not camping . We’ll certainly recommend Cardross to friends and hopefully be back one day again ourselves .

Great little set up. My boys loved it, really nice set up with the bbq and fire pit, we had a bbq in the middle of a Scottish winter, amazing! Everything outside set up, clean and ready to go. Marshmallows included! Nice touch. Owner really friendly, helpful and responsive to messages. Brought us coal last minute when we needed it. Beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Great trolleys for use of transporting bags to cabin! Thought of everything, shower powerful and warm. Thank you for our stay.

Sheets on kids beds weren’t fitted so just came off as soon as they moved, with waterproof covering meant they were sleeping on a cold mattress, just needs fitter sheets to solve that. Tea and coffee could have been a little more thought of as just not much in regard to amount and quality but we were happy to have some there and be able to use.

Location was ideal. The pods are so well set up and despite the compact size, everything has been thought of. A superb, clamping adventure especially for families with younger kids. Ours are aged 4 and 7 and absolutely loved their bunkbed room! Fabulous views as well, and the fire pit provides an additional activity in the evening (toasting marshmallows). Really good location for restaurant options at the Port of Menteith too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get off the beaten track (but not too far!)

Unfortunately, it rained a lot during our 2 night stay so we couldn't use the outdoor patio/fireside area as much as we would have ordinarily. Nothing that can be done about that though!

The pod was very quiet inside which I loved. No cars driving past either which was lovely to not be woken up by slamming doors or engines. The pod itself had everything I needed, including some unexpected extras which was fantastic. Bed was comfy and there were plenty pillows. Electric fan heater kept me warm when it got a bit nippy. I had a lovely stay.

Location was very dark, I had to go back to my car after the sun had set and it was pretty scary. There are lights along the path but they aren’t all that bright. I hadn’t brought a torch and the one in the pod wasn’t working. Not the end of the world, but just something to think about if you’re solo.

Clean property, very comfortable bed, working kettle, toaster, fridge. Heating was fantastic and place heated up very quickly. BBQ and fire pit were a great experience to use. Silent location, no noise at all, views in the morning were spectacular of the hills. A serene experience. Car park only a short walk to the property and little pulleys were provided to take luggage, which worked well. It rained when we were there which we expected. We took a fisherman umbrella and sat 2 chairs underneath this in front of our fire pit.

Nothing. It was perfect.

We have a great stay. Awesome location, in the middle of nature and right next to a wonderful working farm. Very peaceful and quiet and with good access to a ton of beautiful walks and trails nearby. Car is required. The pod was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed. We had some issues finding rubbish bags but that was our own fault, but the host nonetheless very helpfully sent someone with extra bags for us.

Some parts around the shower weren't as well cleaned, but this was very minor. Otherwise, everything was excellent and we'd stay again.

These glamping pods were exactly what we needed after the big city vibes of Edinburgh. So peaceful, so quiet- the firepit and barbecue kit were wonderful, too! The view across the fields was rolling hills and green green countryside. There was also an incredible thunderstorm during our stay- and the pods gave us a full show without us being out in the lashing down rain. Great set up, great staff, great stay!

Lovely setting to get away from it all. Very peaceful, surrounded by nature. Only 5 pods on site and plenty of privacy with adequate spacing between the pods. Pods are very modern, clean, in great shape and well appointed. It was suprisingly comfotable for a family of 4 for a couple of nights. The kids loved the bunk beds!

The walk from the car park to the pods was just about bearable in the drizzle. Would have been completeley fine in dry weather and less so in torrential rain. Trolleys provided are very helpful. Small nit-picking point...the matches provided for the BBQ and fire pit were too soggy to work so we had to rely on neighbours in pod next door to help us light our fire (thanks, Joe!). Might be worth keeping matches or a secondary lighter in the kitchen drawer (or take your own, like Joe did!).

The Pods were lovely, loved the view when you wake up in the morning. Everything was clean and nicely done, not used to the small spaces that pods offer but was very cosy and comfortable. We will be back!

One thing could be a small microwave in the kitchenette area - however aside from this - everything else was brilliant!

The pod is great, comfy bed, cosy and warm, clean with a great view of the countryside. Close to Stirling (30mins drive). Alastair (owner)very responsive to questions.

Adding microwave would be helpful as if the weather is poor cooking out on the bbq is difficult but we made do. The bunk beds are small - more suited to kids under 130cm.
