our pods

Subtly blended into the Rerwick landscape, our three luxury glamping pods enjoy a peaceful and private setting with stunning south-facing views over the Bay of Scousburgh and beyond.

We have two identical ‘Mega Bunker’ pods named Maalie and Shalder. Each pod has a double bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed so can sleep a maximum of six, making them ideal for families but also couples too. The pods are fully insulated, which combined with underfloor heating and double glazed door and windows, ensures they are warm and cosy all year round. The pods also contain a spacious shower room, a well-equipped kitchenette as well as a living/dining space.

A larger accessible pod Tirrick is also available. Suitable for guests with or without disabilities, Tirrick offers the same sleeping arrangements and facilities as Maalie and Shalder but is wheelchair accessible and includes features such as level entry, wide doors, full wet room with grab rails and minimum 1.5m turning circles for freedom of movement within the pod. A mobile hoist and mobile shower chair is available for use in Tirrick if required.

The pod names Maalie, Shalder and Tirrick are Shetland dialect for the local bird species Fulmar, Oystercatcher and Arctic tern respectively.
