The glamping experience extends to the nearby Bass Rock and Belhaven Bay pods, which are also crafted from wood and feature similar amenities including underfloor heating, a kitchenette, and ensuite facilities. These pods are nestled in slightly wild gardens that provide stunning vistas of the fields, hills, and the picturesque North Sea, including notable landmarks such as Bass Rock and the Isle of May. Guests can enjoy outdoor living with a patio, a chimenea for warmth, and a BBQ area, making it an ideal spot for watching spectacular sunsets and enjoying the natural beauty of the region.
For those traveling with pets, "The Kennels" Cottage offers a charming alternative. This mid-Victorian building, renovated in the early 2020s, includes two bedrooms—one of which is ensuite—alongside a cozy kitchen and living room with a wood-burning stove. Like the pods, the cottage benefits from underfloor heating and has small garden areas that were once dog runs. Guests staying in the Kennels will be among the first to inhabit this historically rich space, which has roots as a sheep pen.
