Escape with your special someone to this unique wooden glamping pod sitting on a peaceful complex of properties by a stream in rural South Shropshire. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, this is a perfect bolthole for couples in search of a romantic retreat in the heart of the countryside. During the day, climb up Long Mynd to enjoy breathtaking views of the Shropshire Hills; and in the evening, take a moment to take in the pretty views of the babbling stream from the cottage’s deck, before firing up the BBQ to cook an al fresco dinner.

Climb the stairs to reach the pod’s deck that leads you to an intimate open-plan living space. Make yourself at home in the compact seating area before heading to the kitchenette to whip up some dinner. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two at the multifunctional dining table, or head out to the deck for an al fresco feast. There is also a picnic area beside the stream below the pod - it’s the perfect place to fire up the BBQ. After dinner, open a bottle of wine on the pod’s deck and wait for the stars to come out, or snuggle up in the living area to watch your favourite TV show together. At the end of the day, a double bed awaits you.

Grab your hiking boots and take on a challenging yet rewarding climb to Caer Caradoc Iron Age Hillfort (2 miles). Perched atop a 459-metre hill, it offers fascinating views over ancient ramparts and roundhouses. Alternatively, lose yourself in medieval splendour at Stokesay Castle’s (11.5 miles). Admire the impressive gatehouse and the grand hall before taking a stroll around the exquisite gardens.
