"We got a warm welcome from Andy and help taking the luggage to the pod."
We also got told about some great walks you can do from the pod which we tried and liked. Peaceful location, and you get a lot of garden, and the outlook is superb. The pod is cosy and warm, is well equipped and has brushed linen on the bed! It is in a good location for visiting many attractions and countryside. The pub opposite is excellent. We have recommended to friends and family already and hope to return soon. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!
Thank you so much for your feedback always appreciated. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you found everything you needed. We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks Andy and dru Property Owner

"A hidden gem in such a perfect location!"
The “pod” was clean , extremely well equipped & very comfortable for our 5 day stay. The views were amazing & the “walks” indicated by Andy were ideal for anyone with or without a pooch. The enclosed paddock was safe & secure for our dog who was thrilled to have such a large area to run free! We will definitely be returning next year - we can 100% recommend Cherry Pods!
Wow. Thank you so much for such a review. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks Andy & Dru Property Owner

"Amazing property, cozy, everything you need, beautiful setting, really helpful and friendly owner."
Loved our stay! The only improvement I would suggest is a line of paint or similar to show where the edge of the step is down to the decking! Will be back
Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay. And take the steps to rectify the step. We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks Andy and Dru Property Owner

"It was great for a short relaxing break."
We would definitely come back. The dogs loved the garden and the walks close by. We stayed in Cherry Pod 2. Next time we would probably stay in Cherry Pod only for the reason the garden was to the front of the pod so we would be able to see the dogs from the decked area. It was great having a gas BBQ which we made full use of. The owner was extremely hospitable and the pod had everything you could need. It was beautifully furnished and very clean. The complimentary wine and biscuits was a lovely touch. Not a lot to do locally unless you go out in the car but we just wanted a relaxing break with the dogs so it was perfect. We were disappointed that the local pub didn’t open till 5 as we would have gone for a couple of drinks in the afternoon just to break up the day but overall it was a perfect short stay. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your review. Very much appreciated. We’re pleased the accommodation had everything you needed. The local pub is under new management and opening time are changing. Always worth a check on their website or Facebook page. Just as a future reference if anyone is reading the reviews. Always happy to help or suggest local or nearest amenities. We look forward to seeing you again Many thanks Andy & Dru Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay only wish we had booked for a week."
My only suggestion would be to add a strip to the step on the decking. To clearly identify the edge of the step.

"We had such a wonderful stay at Cherry Pod 2 , just wish we could have stayed for longer , only managed 2 nights."

"We only stayed a few nights but it was absolutely perfect and more than we could've asked for!"
It is such a tranquil and quaint place! The owners are so thoughtful and really provided us with everything- even a bottle of milk in the fridge and a bottle of Asti! We took our 2 dogs, both Pods have their own completely secure garden area, we were even provided with a dog shower, shampoo and towels in the shed! They loved being able to be outside. There is a gate to a public footpath on site and there are also plenty of beautiful places locally to walk and explore, we recommend Little Lyth, Mousecroft Woodland and Earl's Hill Nature Reserve- if you fancy a hike do this last one and walk right to the peak, stunning views from there! We couldn't recommend this place enough! There is a local pub on the same road and places to eat and shops just 10 mins down the road. We will definitely be back and stay for longer!! Thank you so much!! Megan, Liam and pooches Finley and Louie x
Wow. Thank you so much for such a lovely review, we couldn’t have asked for more. We are pleased that our pods had all that you needed and more. We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks Andy and Dru Property Owner

"I stayed in Cherry Pod for 4 days and 3 nights with both my dogs."
The pod was so clean and stunning, and was the perfect little getaway. It really is accommodating for your furry friends as the pod itself sits in a lovely little fully fenced paddock which is wonderful for the dogs to run around. There is lovely outdoor furniture for you to sit on and watch the sunset and amazing country walks just through a gate at the bottom of your garden. If you need a break away with your furry friends I fully recommend cherry pod.
Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you and your pets enjoyed their stay. Many thanks Andy and Dru Property Owner

"A beautiful camping pod that has everything you need to enjoy your holiday."
A very well kept and clean environment inside and out that comes with a fitted kitchen and bathroom, a nice 2 seater sofa and a comfy double bed. Even though the weather was cold as expected for the time of year, we were cosy and warm because of the combi boiler that ran on a wireless thermostat. The outside space is perfect for a family and our dogs also loved the freedom of being able to wonder in and out just like at home because of the fenced off large garden. I will hopefully be back in the spring/summer to fully enjoy the decking, barbecue and garden and also the fantastic surrounding dog walks. Loved it thankyou Andy and Dru for having us. Cheers
O wow. Thank you for this amazing feedback, we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you had everything you needed. It was such the a shame the Weather was not too good. We hope to see you next year. Once again thank you Property Owner

"Hiya, we have just got back from a 4x night stay at cherrypods2,, can't recommend enough, our first time and better than expected, all the little extras provided goes along way, but the owners were very very helpful from the start, our 2x little dogs loved the freedom of their own massive paddock, lovely walks and a bonus was a 5x minute walk to a dog friendly pub with homemade food, the new inn, very nice people."
If you want or need a bit of peace and quiet on top of an hill this is ideal, we are definitely returning ASAP,... Please try and see for yourself,, thanks

"We had a really great short break at Cherry pod 2."
The owner was there to greet us on arrival & was very friendly & helpful. The pod is ideal for people like us with dogs. There is a good sized garden area for them to run around in, that is fenced & secure. The pod was very comfortable & clean & tidy when we arrived & had everything we needed for our break. The pod is situated in a beautiful surrounding area with plenty of nice walks for the dogs. Shrewsbury is just a few miles away & is a really beautiful city to explore for a day. So yes we would wholeheartedly recommend Cherry pod 2 for your next break. Paul & Sara.

"We stayed with our two dogs and had the best time."
The information provided beforehand was top notch and goes beyond anything we expected .we were very warmly welcomed on arrival and given loads of local information for places to go.and things to do during our stay. So.much thought has been obviously put into the Cherry Pods, everything that you could require is provided (or on request, logs for fire pit etc) the paddock is a great idea and gives so much freedom for those with dogs and there a so.many extra little touches that make it a perfect place to stay (too many to list really) The setting is idyllic and peaceful with great views especially at sunset (sunrise for early birds) there is a walk straight behind the Pod which we did daily (nice woods and pond) all in all couldn't really ask for more. Thanks to Andy and Dru for providing a fantastic place to stay.
Wow. Thank you sooooo much for this amazing review which is always important to us. We’re so pleased that enjoyed your stay and that you had everything you needed for relaxing stay Many thanks Andy and Dru Property Owner
