"Couldn’t recommend this pod highly enough!"
Fantastic stay from the moment we got there til the morning we left Will be back for sure!
Thankyou so much much for your wonderful feedback. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

"Fantastic property."
So cleverly designed and lots of nice extra touches like coffee, tea and milk all waiting for us. Cooking facilities perfectly adequate for what we wanted for a short stay. We particularly wanted a hot tub as a special treat and this one didn’t disappoint. We’d love to return to the area but would probably choose a larger pod if we were staying longer.
Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback. We do have one larger pod here too which is perfect for longer stays as you have more downstairs living space but very glad you enjoyed Stapeley pod too Property Owner

"Stapley Pod is a clean and well equipped little retreat."
Its very private and has the most stunning views. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. The location is a great place to reconnect with nature, and still keep in contact with the outside world with WiFi and mobile signal.
Thankyou ever so much for your kind feedback. We hope we've given our guests the choice between being connected and being able to switch off and retreat too. We very much appreciate guests taking the time to leave us some feedback so thanks so much. Angie. Property Owner

"It was a beautiful weekend in a beautiful setting, peaceful and relaxing just what was needed."
It snowed on the Saturday and this just seemed to make the location even more magical and remote. The Prosecco and brownies are a lovely touch, it was comfortable and warm inside and the scenery outside was great for a walk. We will be booking again for another long weekend.
Thankyou for your kind feedback. The area is very idyllic if your lucky enough to get a scattering of snow! Very helpful feedback for future guests too so thankyou for taking the time to leave us some much valued feedback. Kind regards Angie. Property Owner

"We booked a weekend break here for the end of Feb 2024 - we will definitely be returning!"
The pod was absolutely spotless and so welcoming - the Prosecco and homemade brownies were such a lovely touch. It was very cold outside whilst we were there but the pod itself was so warm and cosy. The views were beautiful and the pod itself is really private with fencing separating you from the other pods. Even though it was only 1C in the evening the hot tub was lovely and warm and again spotless. Communication from the owners was excellent - will be recommending to all of our friends and family :)
Thankyou so so much for your lovely and kind words. We are only a small business so we totally and completely appreciate your kind comments and words of recommendation. Thankyou for your support and hopefully we will see you again sometime. Kind regards Angie. Property Owner

"Lovely stay and the owners are lovely people it's our second time here and we will be staying again thank you so much"

"A really lovely place to stay if you need to have a little escape from reality."
The hot tub is perfect for watching the sunrise and stargazing! The pod is warm and cozy which was great since we visited in January. Everything we needed was provided and the Prosecco and homemade brownies were a lovely touch! Thank you!
-
"Such a clean, relaxing and beautiful location."
We found some lovely treats on arrival and plenty of local information to help us plan our days. I will be booking again for sure!
-
"Beautiful pod, perfect location: the views are incredible."
Lovely touches with the brownies and Prosecco on arrival. The walk to the stone circle from the pod was really nice and well signposted. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our mini-moon after just getting married
-
"The pod was fantastic has everything you can need we went to re charge for the weekend so didn't leave the pod for 3 days and it was fantastic the views the hot tub the little treats supplied all fab we couldn't of asked for more we will definitely be back again soon ."
We have been to a few places around Shrewsbury and this pod definitely has the upper hand on them great WiFi. Heating was great and you can't get enough of them views even with the weather rolling in it is beautiful to watch .

"Lovely place to stay definitely going again."

"A lovely stay."
The pod was beautiful. Surroundings were beautiful. Lots of information about how things worked which was really helpful. Suprise goodies left for us which was very appreciated. A very well appointed place. Shower is spacious and lots of hot water. Hot tub is private and well maintained. If you are visiting, remember to take handwash and some spray or wipes to clean after cooking etc as these are not provided. The fridge was humming which I just mention as it might need to be looked at, it was quite annoying. But I'm sure it's easily fixed. Only downside is the bed. It's an ottoman one with storage. Great idea, but it did not feel at all secure and sturdy for two plus size visitors. We were scared we would break it. Thank you for a lovely stay. The attention to detail and the way the pods are maintained and looked after was very appreciated.

"Amazing place to stay."
Beautiful scenery, clean and modern facilities and a hot tub! The small touches sets this pod apart, lots of info on what to do in the area left inside which was extremely helpful, free wifi (which was fast) the delicious homemade brownies and a bottle of prosecco waiting when you arrive. Lots of tea, coffee, sugar, and milk available (not just one or two) meaning you never had to want for anything in this stay. Had a little chat with the owner about walks in the area (she was lovely to speak to) when testing the water quality on the hottub. They really do look after you ! Woukd 100% recommend staying here and will do so again.

"A wonderful break away from reality, the views were amazing especially in the snow!"

"We had a wonderful time at our very own hobbit pod."
When we arrived everything was spotless. The chocolate brownies ,milk, coffee, tea bags, and of course the prosecco We used the hot many times relaxing sipping prosecco all this was done in private. The owner Angela was so friendly she came around every morning to check hot tub and ask if she could do anything or get us anything.and have a chat We took our 1 year old son with us and again Angela supplied us with a cot and a high chair at no extra cost. We will definitely come back maybe later in the year but definitely coming back to the pod next summer l will bring my halogen oven as there is no oven .the cooker was fine and a very good microwave but personal preference Only Kind regards John and Sarah

"Myself & my partner spent the most amazing long weekend at Stapeley Pod."
It was clean, super cosy and had everything we needed for a relaxing break away from our usual busy lives. The Hot tub was out of this world, relaxing under the stars and in the snow at night and watching the sunrise in the morning - Just perfect! Angie & Stuart were super helpful with a great information/welcome pack and recommendation on where to go for some Christmas shopping! The added Prosecco, biscuits & milk when we arrived was very well received and so appreciated. We went for a 5 mile walk along the hills and countryside behind the pod with the most breathtaking views we have ever seen. We will definitely be back and cannot recommend this beautiful place enough. What an absolute hidden gem in the stunning Shropshire hills
-
"This is a lovely place to stay."
Quiet , tranquil with excellent views over the fields. The pod is comfortable and snuggly with everything you need for a short break or an extended stay. The only thing we found was a lack of food places nearby that deliver but other than that everything was perfect. !!
-

The van was really well fitted out. A bread knife was the only thing lacking. Hot tub was fab. Tranquil location.
-
"Our first time staying in a pod and it will not be our last."
The facilities and attention to detail on fit out and welcome pack covered all our needs. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful location, interrupted only by the occasional peripheral noise from the cattle/ sheep and the birds, which provided an ideal base for exploring the Shropshire Hills and a place you were happy to return to at the end of the day. The hot tub was great, quietly maintained daily and a fantastic way to relax in the evening. We will be returning soon.
-

The pod was great and had we needed. I would definitely recommend to friends and family! The only thing that could be improved would be for the hot tub to have a covering for when it is raining.

Sunrise Pods
Enjoying vast views of the beautiful countryside within the Shropshire Hills AONB, you can find this delightful set of quirky and unique pods, providing fantastic accommodation for exploring the gorgeous surroundings. Take a break from a fast-paced life into the country with your loved ones and make these cute and compact pods your temporary homes, having one pod for each couple, you can come together to spend the days roaming the hills, and then retreat to your own space when night falls. Each pod has a nearly identical layout accessed via a fairy-style curved door, including a sitting area with a Smart TV, a modest kitchen space with all the essential appliances along with an intimate dining area, along with excellent WiFi so you can stay connected. To the rear of the pod is the snug double bed tucked in the corner, and a separate shower room to freshen up in. Outside each of the pods is a luxurious hot tub, a welcome sight of warm bubbles after a day of walking to relax you into your evening. The immediate area of the dwelling makes for a tranquil base, with plenty of opportunities for avid walkers; in reach of Mitchell’s Fold Stone Circle across the fields, you can find adventure on your doorstep. For all of your local amenities, the nearby village of Chirbury offers a modest selection of shops and eateries, or for even more excitement, venture into Bishop’s Castle where you will be greeted by historical wonder in the form of listed timber framed buildings, quaint shops and a “House on Crutches”. Walkers can delight in venturing along the Offa’s Dyke Path for some wonderful walking along the Welsh/English border, while heading over the border and into Wales can bring you to the large Norman ruins of Montgomery Castle, the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden and the wonderful Welshpool & Llanfair Railway. Sunrise Pods will bring you right into the centre of the natural landscape, an idyllic romantic haven in Shropshire.
