A bit of rain… but it’s Scotland!

The lodging family, the environment, the extreme care towards the customers, the super breakfast!

Small, quiet but really well maintained & located Armadillo Glamping Pods & B&B site in Aviemore. 4 nights in a cosy Armadillo Pod is probably similar to staying in a 2 berth motorhome with small freeview TV, small fridge, small washing sink & worktop with a kettle, neat wet room shower, loo & basin, clothes hanging cupboard & large, spacious under-bed drawers. The 4 pods had use of a separate 'Bothy' with communal table & chairs, worktop washing up sink, kettle, microwave, 2 ring hot-plates, hot water boiler tap, loads of cooking pans, utensils, plates & bowls plus shelves of fictional & factual books, many local maps, pamphlets & guides of the area as well as board games for those wet days indoors. Used it daily, good to meet other great guests, all of whom were foreign during our stay & enjoying their visit to Scotland & The Cairngorms. Hosts are very welcoming, accommodating & knowledgeable of the area.

Really nothing to complain about. It was all perfect

Where to start with this question..... Ken & Gill..... natural exceptional hosts, friendly, chatty. We only stayed 2 days and left feeling like we were old friends! The attention to detail on the entire site is fabulous. Lots of little touches that made all the difference. The breakfast was outstanding, perfectly cooked, lots of choice. The electric car charger was a nice surprise, there's chargers in Aviemore but to be able to plug in overnight was a great bonus. The bothy is great, a lovely place to eat our tea and chill out. The location was perfect, just a short stroll into the centre of Aviemore We will definitely be coming back.

There was a slight smell of damp in the room but the owner did tell us about this and how to prevent it. We just kept our door open most of the time which really helped.

Very cosy & secluded was also a 10 minute walk from town which I liked, We also appreciated how much was on offer such as breakfast, dinner ect

No big issues. Keep it up!

Staying in a glamping pod is a kind of adventure, but pod's have almost all, if not more, than good hotel room. You just need to be a little smart as people designed it. Pods are cosy and well equipped. If something is not there, you will find it in the boothy or common room. Place is located in a side of the main road, so it's calm and silent. You can easily walk to all the shops. Owners are very friendly and helpful. You can feel like in your own yard! Highly recommended as a base to explore Cairngorms.

The pods were located in the front garden of Gill and Kens suburban home which was a surprise. They have thoughtfully placed the pods and a little bothy for getting together in their pretty garden.

Gill and Ken were amazing and so welcoming. They anticipated our needs and offered every kindness to make our stay enjoyable.

Be aware that the shower is quite small and contained within the toilet area. This wasn't a problem for us (so not really a "don't like" since it's very practical), but for larger people, may be difficult to negotiate showering. It got a bit "steamy" inside when damp or raining due to how airtight the pods are; again not a "don't like", but something, again, to be aware of as you may need to leave the door open for a while. That said, it never got cold inside; always quite comfy in fact.

Eriskay was one of the best places we stayed over our 3 weeks in Scotland! Ken and Jill were both inspiring, enthusiastic, and really fun hosts. The pods were immaculate and well stocked. The bed was especially comfortable, plugs were available your devices, a specialized coffee maker at hand, and both good lighting and privacy window shades inside. We had a grill available to us next to our pod and all the kitchen equipment you could use located was available in a common-area Brothy. This inviting Brothy was a really great area for meeting and getting to know other guests as well, which is always one of the more enjoyable aspects of travel. If you don't want to make your AM breakfast here, then don't hesitate to enjoy their home-cooked Scottish breakfast with the most amazing fresh baked goodies made by Jill herself. Ken went over the top in making sure we were satisfied with every little facet of our stay. Excellent location; minutes from Cairngorm hikes, multiple options for in-town supplies, coffee houses, etc.

We loved our stay here, the pod was very cosy and clean and Ken and Gill were amazing, friendly hosts. Particularly enjoyed the breakfast. Fantastic location right in Aviemore close to restaurants and shops but tucked away from the main road.

The room was relatively small for a family of four.

Good location, great hosts.

Absolutely great, warm and friendly welcome, nice room. If you stay there you have to take the breakfast, it was really delicious and the perfect start in the day.

Stayed in July 2023

The shower inside the bathroom didn't dry out so when visiting the bathroom the floor was always damp.

We loved our hosts, so accommodating and helpful. The home-cooked breakfast was perfect. The shared kitchen facility had everything needed to host our own meals. The pod was laid out well and the bed was the most comfortable bed of all our hotel stays in Scotland (5).

Stayed in July 2023

We wished we could have stayed in the glamping pods (two-night minimum).

You are greeted on arrival by Ken, your warm gregarious host, who provided helpful advice. The room was clean and comfortable, with inviting common space. Excellent breakfast prepared by co-host Gill.

Couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome, such a lovely couple and couldn't have offered their help any more if I'd needed it. Giving advice to other people staying as well for good walks to take in the local area, I can't recommend this any more highly. Stayed in one of the pods and my wee daughter loved it so much and I'm sure I'll be hearing about our little Hobbit house for a while yet. Great location, nice n snug.

Everything was perfect!

The glamping pod was very cozy with lovely finishing touches. Hosts were friendly and welcoming, breakfast was superb. The bed was probably the most comfortable we have slept on.

Stayed in July 2023

It met all our needs.

We stayed in a lovely ‘hobbit house’ which had all the amenities we needed. The hosts were most welcoming and we enjoyed walking,paddle boarding and eating out in Aviemore. Great location and good value for money.
