Well I thought that it would be a good idea to keep you informed of the progress on on our Boris overhaul. Although in generally great condition, we decided to replace the the shelving with reclaimed solid oak and repaint throughout. The acrylic skylight suffered with a crack from the stress of the move and has been replaced with thicker, tougher polycarbonate and the picnic bench has been given a makeover which I think makes it really stand out. Since Boris had the fittings it made great sense to install a flag pole which looks great. Updates and more pics to follow.

I am delighted to announce that Boris the Military Pod has now moved to a brand new home on the Isle of Skye in Kensaleyre, which is between Portree and Uig on the Trotternish Peninsular. Ruth and Mike will be working to get Boris ready for the 2026 season so please spread the word and keep looking at the FB page as we will update them as we go. We certainly hope to maintain the superb standards set by our dear friends Sam and Lynne and look forward to meeting friends of Boris the Pod, new and old in the future

Very sadly, due to the Short-Term Lets License which kicks in in October, we are no longer taking bookings. Sadly, all good things have to come to an end.
Thanks to all the lovely people that have enjoyed a unique stay in our crazy military pod.

Another fabulous review - thank you Clare!

What a gem! If you want something quirky, fun and different, and to see a little slice of Skye, Boris is definitely for you… Sam and Lynne couldn’t be more welcoming, this was truly a great experience. The pod is so well designed, the kitchen is super well equipped and the hosts have thought of absolutely everything. We loved the welcome video (genius) and a special mention for the DVD player provided, perfect for a movie night in. Only half a mile to the ferry crossing too, perfect if you’re looking for that old-fashioned turntable ferry experience. Truly a memorable stay!!

Wow - another fabulous review, thank you Mel!

…Wow!!!! This is amazing and should not be missed as a place to visit. Boris is totally and utterly unique and has been built with so much skill and attention! Sam and Lynne have literally thought of everything to make Boris so comfortable for their guests.- that’s what is most important to them and it shows! The welcome gifts are so kind and Im now off to purchase some more! Sam is such an attentive host on arrival, showing how everything worked - can’t ask for more. Had the best sleep with it so peaceful, under the fabulous duvet. The breakfast was outstanding and set us up for the day. I have to mention the soaps and hand washes from the Highland Soap Company - the smell will now always be associated with Boris and the awesome holiday in Scotland. Every single thing is perfect!!!…

Ah happy guests!

‘…Bonkers Boris was a fitting end to our bonkers wedding and honeymoon in Outer Hebrides, Raasay and Skye. The short trip across to Glenelg on the 2 car ferry was brilliant as were the local history,pub and brewary and a bay full of seals. Lynnes breakfast was amazing ! as was the coffee machine. Thanks for a lovely stay. …’

Another wonderful review, thank you Dave!

…’What can I say Boris is unique. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Boris. The conversion/design of Boris has been carefully considered so as you have everything at hand. Watch out for Midges but they have this covered too. The drive to Kylerhea is something to behold and once you get there you will see you are in a little natural oasis. If you want an experience you will treasure give Boris a go’…
