Pod 5

Rural Moray near Forres offers quiet countryside punctuated by golf courses, fishing spots and walks. Pod 5 sits among a cluster of similar structures on this site, which includes interpretation boards about Macbeth—both the Shakespearean character and the real King of Scots who ruled until 1057. The pod itself has an unusual silhouette that catches the eye, and guests get the whole place to themselves with private parking for one car.

Inside is a single open-plan space containing the kitchen, dining and living areas on one side. The bedroom holds a double bed (4ft 6in) and two single beds—one standard (3ft) and one pull-out (3ft) beneath it, making four sleeping spaces. A shower cubicle and toilet occupy the en-suite, and the kitchen is fitted with a fridge, two-ring hob and basic cookware. Electricity, bed linen and towels are provided. Outside, a picnic table and fire pit with seating are yours to use; the fire pit works for barbecues, campfires or simply warming yourself in the evening. One pet can stay free of charge. No smoking is permitted indoors.
