The Highland and Transylvania Pods are located north of Fort William in the small village of Roy Bridge, a lovely place to spend a few nights enjoying the Highlands. The pods are well-suited to couples as they feature double beds (although they are a bit narrow!) and a washroom with shower. Given the design of the pods, taller guests may have to duck down a bit in the washroom 😉
However, guests love the stylish and cosy design, off the beaten path location, and easy access to a variety of outdoor activities. You can even stay here in the winter months as the pods are insulated and heated, a perfect option if you’re planning on visiting one of the nearby ski centres.
