Absolutely amazing. I was a bit skeptical about the size for a family of four, but it was very comfortable and had the most amenities of the six different places we stayed around Scotland. The host greeted us and had fresh milk and treats for us. The outdoor space is excellent for kids to play outside or adults to hang out by the fire pit or picnic tables. I would love to go back.

Exquisite hospitality under stunning Caithness sky

These glamping pods were more exquisitely kitted out than any high end hotel we have stayed in for years. My colleague and I had a pod each and they both provided exceptional levels of comfort, beautiful decor, and thoughtful touches throughout. We felt as though we were the first people to stay, such was the pristine condition of each pod, and were astonished to discover that this was their fifth season. Maggie was a generous, considerate, and appropriately attentive host. We truly cannot speak highly enough of this place.

This place is all we wish to have when Glamping in our country. (Washington, USA) We had a great time, the hut/cabin was very quiet, beautiful and very clean. It had a patio where we could catch the sunset and/or sunrise while enjoying some whiskey and the woodfire. Maggie the owner/manager was very attentive and helpful. We wished we could stay longer, definitely coming back!

GREAT MOMENT IN THERE

It is amazing to spend 3 nights in the Pods of North Star Glamping Lybster with my husband and our two children. We visited Scotland during 2 weeks and how was a great moment to sleep there, in Lybster. Maggie who is an owner, is very kind with us. She has thought of everything and taken care of us. We wanted to stay longer but it was not possible. I recommended Pods of North Star Glamping to everyone. The Pods are very clean and beautiful. Thank you Maggie for your welcoming.

Amazing little cabin

This was our 9th overnight stay on our honeymoon travelling the NC500 and was probably our favourite place that we stayed in.

It was super clean, nicely laid out and perfectly spacious for the two of us. The owner Maggie was also great, and had left milk, cereal and homemade shortbread for us which was a lovely surprise.

I would 100% recommend!

Wonderful Stay

My wife and I stayed in one of the pods on the 8th June as a part of our NC500 road trip. The pod was absolutely beautiful. It was so clean it felt like no one had stayed there before. Maggie was so helpful, running over to see if we were ok as we arrived and catching us before we left the next morning to see if everything was ok. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer. We will definitely return next year.
