The Premium Pods at Spey Bay

What to Expect

Our three Premium Pods, Macallan, Glenlivet and Aberlour, include all the features of our Classic Pods, enhanced by the added comfort of a private kitchenette and an en-suite bathroom with shower.

Designed for a more self-contained stay and accommodating up to two adults and two children, the Premium Pods offer greater privacy and convenience while enjoying the same outstanding coastal and golf course setting.
