North Coast 500 Pods ★★★

"We stayed in the Socach Pod and had mixed feelings about our visit. The pod itself is beautiful, modern, spotlessly clean and the hot tub was a lovely addition. The location is also great and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the accommodation. Unfortunately, our stay was let down by what was, without doubt, the worst bed we’ve ever slept in. Every tiny movement caused the bed to creak loudly, meaning neither of us got a decent night’s sleep. Looking back through previous reviews, it’s clear that other guests have mentioned the same issue, so it appears to be an ongoing problem. We also thought it would have been a nice touch to provide a few long-life milk portions so guests can make a cup of tea on arrival. The nearest shop requires a drive, so it’s not something you can easily pop out for after checking in. The most disappointing part, however, was the lack of customer service. I contacted the owners directly about the bed over a week ago to make them aware of the issue, but I have still not received any response. Had they acknowledged the feedback or explained that they intended to fix it, I would have been much more understanding. Overall, the Socach Pod has the potential to be an excellent place to stay, but until the bed is replaced or repaired and guest feedback is taken more seriously, I can’t recommend it. It’s a real shame because the accommodation itself is lovely."
