What our customers say about their holidays

• Kate - Verified booking

  The remoteness of the location and backdrop were lovely and the hot tub was bigger than expected and well serviced.

  The bottle of Prosecco and home made brownies were also nice on our arrival. With that said, our bathroom smelt of mould and had an absolutely disgusting smell which then spread to the rest of the pod. I told the owner about this on the second day to which she replied it was the septic tank and that it was only at this pod that that happened because they’d missed something when building it. Whilst that might be the case the owner did nothing to rectify this for the duration of our four night stay and instead with each day the smell got worse and unfortunately our holiday ruined. This was to the point that we tried looking up places to stay elsewhere. If this is a known issue then I would have expected the tank be emptied prior to our arrival and something done to rectify this during our stay. The other issue we experienced was a couple of floor boards inside that were raised enough to continually stub your toe on and a couple of the slabs of the patio that you could physically lift up. This meant anytime you walked on them they’d come up on the other side to hit you in the leg or foot. Again I struggle to see how the owner couldn’t have known about these. I hate to leave a “bad” review for someone’s business, and have never done so before, but if I had known the above when booking I’d have booked elsewhere or certainly another of the pods. I hope at least my review is constructive enough that this can be rectified going forward.

  This a wonderful place to come on holiday.

  The pods are warm and comfortable, and are perfectly equipped with everything you need for a good holiday. The hillside behind the pods is beautiful and allows you free/open access to other great hill walks and walking routes.The stone circle and ancient field markings give you a real sense of the history of the area. The hot tub is always full,clean and just the right temperature. An active holiday walking the dogs is easily combined with long comfortable evenings in the tub. Dog owners will love coming here as the walks are excellent and each pod has a large garden for the dogs to run around in. The lack of too much artificial light at night allows for beautiful views of the stars while sitting in the hot tub. The hosts are class act. The attention to detail ,complimentary prosecco,the cleanliness of the pods and the daily attention to the condition of the hot tub and the site in general by the host/owner Angie is something to behold. You will not regret a short stay or a longer stay in spring,summer or even winter,so get booking .For more comfort the same site has a larger property now attached which is delivered and managed with the same attention to detail and comfort as the smaller pods. We generally didn't visit the same place twice prior to discovering this spot,we have now visited 4 times with our dogs. Do not miss out on this little gem in the underrated Shropshire hills...

  One word sums up our cordon pod stay AMAZING The pod itself is fresh clen tidy & fully equipped to a high standard it gives you everything you need for a stay be it dry or raining.

  It just so comfortable. The hot tub perfect size well maintained in the perfect location to just take in the stunning views by day or star's by night. TV with netflix great again if you just want to relax WiFi is incredible to say you are so remote we had better service than at home in a town. The location is peaceful and unspoilt you can walk as much or as little as you want. Within easy drive of many places of interest & local amenities. Do try local produce Meats Cheeses Breads ice creams all so tasty. You host's certainly go the extra mile for the guests you have the reassurance that they are there should you need them but they ensure they are not intrusive when carrying out job's like hot tub maintenance. Always a friendly smile and wave. As soon as you see the space you have with grassed area patio pod & parking you know they want you to enjoy your stay & privacy. There are just 3 pod's in an area that on many glamping sites would have fitted in 6. The fencing & gates again give you privacy and if like us you have dog's with you give them freedom whilst remaining safe and secure. The pre-arrival instructions your hosts send are helpful and informative. The welcome gifts are a real treat. We had a wonderful 3 night stay and will do our best to visit again.

  We absolutely loved the pod and will definitely come back!

  The hot tub was a great thing to have just to sit and enjoy the view. The surroundings were lovely, it was so peaceful and we loved watching the sunrise in a morning, it was beautiful. The pod was clean and had everything you needed. The only 2 points I would say could be improved would be adding a drying rack because there was no where to dry dishes when they had been washed. The second thing was the duvet cover was really bobbly and worn. The pillows were also quite flat and the pillow cases were also bobbly and worn. I wouldn’t mind bringing my own pillows from home if I had known beforehand. The bed sheet, however, was really soft so that was comfy! Overall though we had a really great stay at the pod and it was a fabulous way to celebrate my 30th birthday! I’ve recommended it to friends and family already and we will be booking again as soon as possible!

  Me and my boyfriend came here for 3 nights and it was such good value for money!

  The pod was bigger then expected and had everything we needed. We had an issue with the tv not playing sound and Angie came round and sorted it for us straight away, she was so friendly and was very apologetic for the problem (wasn’t her fault, sometimes technology can be a bit difficult). We had a few days of sunshine which made the views even better, I’d also recommend going in the spring time as the baby lambs in the field in front of the pods were an added extra; they were adorable! Two places we’d recommend were carding mill valley for a lovely walk and the Nags Head for some great food. I’ve told all my friends and family about this place and we will definitely be back at some point in the next year for another UK break :) (p.s. the hot tub was so relaxing and definitely made the experience)
