We answer some frequently asked questions about Spoke ‘n’ Boot and the facilities we offer.
Accommodation and facilities
What type of accommodation do you offer?
We have 4 comfortable wooden camping pods in a quiet field on our small farm in rural Falkirk. Each pod sleeps 2 people. The pods contain two camp beds with camping mats (you bring your own sleeping bags) and pillows with pillowcases. They are ideal for walkers, cyclists, couples, and small families looking for a peaceful stay.
Do the pods have electricity or heating?
The pods do not have mains electricity or heating. They are insulated and double-glazed to keep them warm. We provide lanterns and battery lights. You can use the electricity and log-burning stove in our communal building, called “The Byre”. This is also where you will find the toilets and showers.

The Byre is our communal indoor area. It is the heart of our site and a perfect place to relax. It includes:
- a log-burner, sofas, and tables
- a kitchen area with microwaves, toaster, kettle, and fridge
- crockery and cutlery
- modern toilets and hot showers
Is breakfast included?
Yes. We provide simple breakfast supplies in The Byre, including bread, cereal, and spreads. You can help yourself in the morning.

We welcome dogs in the pods and outdoor areas. We make a small charge per dog per night. Please keep your dog under control and clean up after them.
