Lovely peaceful country getaway!

Newly refurbed pods, modern, fully equipped, comfortable beds, heater warmed up the pod within minutes, location was great, we ate at two restaurants in west Linton which were amazing - The Gordon Arms Hotel & The Pyet. Also went for breakfast at Whitmuir cafe a few minutes down the road, lovely place with a farm shop. We went to Edinburgh zoo & explored the city, it took around 30-40 minutes drive. We had a few issues trying to light the firepit due to the damp weather, we rang the mobile contact and a lovely lady was there in a few minutes to help out with kindling, fire lighters and a lighter, she also replaced the torch which wasn’t working. We enjoyed toasting some marshmallows around the fire. Perfect family stay. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you so much.

Lovely hidden gem

Perfect place for a relaxing cozy break. Set in beautiful countryside. Accommodation was superb, everything you need with great WiFi. Hosts were very helpful and leaving fresh produce for our arrival. We will definitely visit again 👍

Just going to add another 5 star review to the collection that Wilding on a Whim have, and absolutely deserve. The pod was cosy, clean, really well equipped and even with our 2 big bouncy Labrador boys Nuthatch felt roomy. Peaceful and restorative we woke to birdsong and a gorgeous sunrise (thanks for organising 2 sunny spring days for us!) just what our souls needed. We will be back

Cosy, well equipped pod!

We stayed in a dog-friendly pod, Nuthatch. It was brilliant! A cosy pod with everything you might need for your stay. Very comfortable bed with lovely pillows and duvet. Electric shower and ready supply of hot water, and a well equipped wee kitchen. TV and wifi too. The stars at night were incredible. We had an absolutely brilliant stay and would love to stay there again.

Woodpecker Pod

Lovely stay! The pod was very quiet, clean, cosy and comfortable. Loved the complimentary drinks and biscuits on arrival and the book of places to visit and eat. We would definitely stay again!

We came back 2 days ago from staying for 4 nights whilst visiting our daughter in Edinburgh. The location was brilliant.
The pod was wonderful, cosy, clean and everything you needed was inside.
We booked the dog friendly pod as we brought our cockapoos with us, they loved it too!
The hospitality we received from the family was wonderful and they have done such an amazing job of re-wilding their land.
We will definitely be back when we next visit, it’s a little gem.

Absolute bliss

This was such a perfect holiday! Set in a secluded area in the Borders, it was calm and peaceful. The wooden pods are comfortable and warm, and on arrival, the owners had got eggs and milk for us. I would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to come back. Our dog loved it too.

Pod of perfection

Pod of perfection! I needed a place to stay with my dog who was having radiotherapy at pet hospital in Edinburgh. Colin was amazing, helpful and wecoming. The place is peaceful and beautiful. The pod is warm and cosy with everything we needed. Stayed over a week and it was perfect. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks from Sam, Carl and Alfie! Xx

Solo trip with pets

I had a really good time just relaxing and listening to the birds as well as just enjoying relaxing in the pod with my pets. The bed was super comfortable to the point I will be getting the same mattress for my own place I slept so well. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Family fun

My wife booked and told me we, two adults and two children, were staying in a camping pod over half term. I was worried but it turned out to be brilliant!
To call it a camping pod does it a disservice, there is a double bed which lifts for loads of storage, a good sofa bed which easily converts, a spacious shower room and great kitchen area with fridge, microwave and hob.
The area is beautiful, the fire pit is great and the hosts could not do enough for us. Their green ethos and rewilding project ticks any environmental boxes.
The location was perfect for trips to Glentress for the 7 stages Mtb area, Kelpies, Falkirk Wheel, Stirling, Edinburgh and a host of beautiful forests and hills on the doorstep.
Already planning our next trip!!

Thank you Chris for taking the time to write this review.
As you know our business is very much part of the rewilding work that we are undertaking. It is great sharing this with young families and over the next few years we will be open up more of our land to explore.
We look forward to any future visits and my kids are already looking forward to seeing your little ones again.
I hope that you have a good spring/summer.
Regards,
Colin

Fabulous weekend stay

Fabulous weekend stay! The pod was spotless and had everything we needed and some handy extras too. The pods are set in lovely grounds next to woodland, and there’s lots to do in the surrounding area. Colin was super helpful and a great host. We’re already planning our next visit!

Stunning location and our lodge was delightful - beautifully equipped and warm. Colin, our host, couldn’t have been more helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about rewilding. Wilding on a Whim is highly recommended.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. The pod had absolutely everything you could ask for and more. My kids and I loved the woodlands walks around the area. The owners were so friendly and went out there way to do everything they could. I would recommend the place to everyone of all ages. It was so peaceful. I am going to book again vert very soon. Thank you for such a relaxing weekend.

It was an amazing 4 days at the wilding on a whim. My husband, daughter and I was so delighted to stay there. Very cozy, clean, fully furnished plus free access to WiFi what a luxury glamping. The sorrounding area is beautiful and peaceful. My daughter love the garden with a tree that she can climb on. Friendly cat and the owner was brilliant! He gave us a log to lit up the fire for our first night camp fire. Over all what an amazing place to glamp on. Coming back again. Well recommended.

Great stay

Great stay, pod has everything you need and extra thoughtful touches to make your stay totally chilled. Extremely clean and well thought out to maximise your space. Host’s are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. For a lone traveller with a dog I felt totally at ease and thoroughly enjoyed my stay would definitely recommend a visit.
