    Thank you :) Property Owner

  • "Everything was perfect, the view the bed all the facilities was excellent!"

    Definitely worth the 4h drive :) I do wish there was something other than a hob maybe an air fryer? Simply just because we wanted to spend the night in and cook for ourselves however we where limited to what we could have due to this, however it was still one of the best places we have stayed and have recommended to family and friends already! Thankyou for our lovely stay! And I definitely recommend the local towns are beautiful and everyone was so friendly.

    We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much that you have recommended us to others. Did you manage to use the electric BBQ perhaps as an addition to the hob? Thank you for your comments :) Property Owner

  • "We spent 4 wonderful nights here and loved every minute!"

    Such a gorgeous spot and perfect if you’re after a relaxing getaway! Everything was incredible and honestly exceeded our expectations. The pod is ideal and has everything you might need during your stay. Before we came I did read some other reviews mentioning how they wish there were blinds so I actually bought a portable black out sheet with suction cup attachments from Amazon that we would put up at night before settling down for bed. Super easy to put up and has no impact on the view once you’re awake/up for the day. Would definitely recommend doing this to others if a little extra privacy and maybe not wanting it super bright in the mornings! We’ve already said how much we would love to come back - thank you for a perfect getaway!

    Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. Property Owner

    The pod was very clean and we had a lovely time. But the sofa let the property down. Also knives were blunt. And pans were scratched quite badly. But we definitely enjoyed our stay.

    Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately you didn’t bring these issues to our attention during your stay, we would have been more than happy to address or replace where possible. Property Owner

  • "We had everything we needed and required."

    The attention to detail was perfect, everything had been thought of to make the stay as comfy and cosy as possible. A Box of biscuits and bottle of Prosecco awaited us on arrival (along with some teabags,coffee,milk pots) The hot tub was lovely to come back to and relax after a long day out. Even though we were on a working farm it was still very peaceful and relaxing. It was lovely to stay somewhere quirky for a change. We were also informed right away when there was a problem at the farm with the electrics and it had to be turned off for a bit. An amazing place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All of our family and friends were impressed.

  • "Beautiful location and accommodation, in absolutely pristine condition."

    Would recommend adding curtains at least to the outer door as although it is very secluded, it did leave us feeling a little uneasy/exposed. Only other things to mention is the water not being very hot and we were disappointed not to be allowed to use a fire pit despite their being no mention of it in the details. So far that sounds a bit negative, but those 3 things mentioned are the only small blemishes on what is an absolutely fantastic place for some peace, quiet and relaxation. Although "in the middle of nowhere", it is close enough to towns like Ludlow, Telford and Shrewsbury and there is so much to see and do - and you are given all the information you could need and more in the documentation provided in the accommodation. The hot tub is bliss, the bed is pure comfort and the 42" smart TV means you have all you could want. Thank you - we got just what we needed from your little piece of the world and have already recommended and passed on details to a few family and friends. We WIL be back! :-D
