North Coast 500 Pods in Achmelvich: Photos and Reviews

North Coast 500 Pods sit directly on the Achmelvich peninsula, with Achmelvich Bay Beach a 9-minute walk from the site. Guests can watch deer and sheep from the pod windows and reach the white sands of Clachtoll beach a few miles away. The site also offers a communal fire pit and barbecue area next to the shoreline path.

The pods include the Boujee Glamping Pod with a copper free-standing bath for two, as well as Luxury Glamping Pods with underfloor heating and Alexa-enabled Hue lighting. Each pod has a private bathroom, a kitchenette with microwave and oven, and a dining area with sofa bed. The Conival pod features a copper bath, while pet-friendly pods provide a hose-down area at the car park.

Guests have free use of a shared sauna with a view, a communal barbecue and fire pit, and a terrace with seating. Free private parking is available on site, and the site provides streaming services via Netflix on the TV. A food van operates on the property, and the adjacent Shore campsite has a chippy and shop with picnic benches overlooking the beach.

Pet-friendly pods allow dogs, though dogs are not permitted on the sofa, bed, or in the shower. A hose-down area in the car park helps clean dogs after beach walks. Guests receive a welcome gift of home-baked shortbread, and the host is reachable via WhatsApp for any queries.

The pods are located near Lochinver, with the Lochinver Larder pies a short drive away, and the North Coast 500 route passes directly by. The site is 143 km from Stornoway Airport, and guests frequently walk to Hermit's Castle and other scenic viewpoints. Local restaurants require advance booking, and the nearby Shore campsite offers a small shop and fish and chip van.
