"This was the perfect secluded stay we wanted."
The price for the modern pod is such a bargain! Normally places like this are about £200 more so we were thankful we found what we were looking for which was affordable. The animals around the farm were a cute bonus!! We enjoyed looking at the cows, sheep, goats and donkeys. Thank you for such a lovely stay. Just note there is a lodge and a pod, if the lodge has been booked you are required to drive up a steep mud track for the pod parking. I was lucky as there was no one staying in the lodge so I could park in there parking which is just road as I felt uncomfortable driving up the other steep mud track! Might or might not be a deal breaker for some so thought it’s worth mentioning but :)

"Beautiful setting in idyllic outlook."
. Owner on site is approachable and helpful. Prosecco, milk and biscuits on arrival, appreciated. The pod is tastefully designed , is cosy and comfortable. Sykes though has been dishonest. I inadvertently booked a different week, was told it’s up to the owner to reimburse… not true Sykes!!!

"From the moment we arrived we knew we had picked the right place."
Bev was so friendly and welcoming. There was a bag of treats waiting for our dog and the pod is beautifully presented. It was the perfect place to unplug. It has a beautiful self contained garden with little seating areas if you want to eat outside, and the views over the hills are stunning. Thoroughly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you for making it so enjoyable. Neal and Charley

"We loved the Pod, had everything required for two people and our small dog, lovely views over the countryside, nice small garden, loved watching the birdlife, feeding their chicks."
Pod was comfortable, we were met by the lovely Miriam who made us feel welcome and explained the pod and adjacent buildings for our use. We would stay again if we revisit the area.

"The Pod was a wonderful location to enjoy Shropshire and bordering North Wales."
Wonderful views from the Pod greeted me each morning with birdsong to start the day. Bev and Mariam were extremely welcoming with tea, coffee and milk to greet on arrival. Nearby were hidden gems: 1) The big centre and walks, 2) Mitchford circle and walks, 3) Montgomery Castle, 4) Dolforwyn Castle with beautiful villages in-between. Equally it was wonderful to spend time at the Pod and immerse myself in my books. I would recommend the Pod with it suitable facilities and welcoming appearance. Those seeking a calm and rejuvenating stay away from the usual demands won’t be disappointed.

We had such a warm welcome and Bev, Barry and Miriam were super helpful and responsive. The weather was not on my side but the views were gorgeous regardless, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the pod as a place to stay.
