Guests that stayed at this property said
The reviews frequently highlight the pod's cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'very clean' and 'immaculately presented'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is consistently praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and proximity to Shrewsbury and local attractions. Guests are delighted by the countryside and the opportunity for woodland walks.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with guests finding the pod cosy and well-equipped. However, one guest mentioned the bed was not the most comfortable, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are described as great, with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The pod is in its first season, so decorations and amenities are new and modern. One negative review related to booking issues through an agency, not the facilities themselves.
Several reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as cookies and Prosecco on arrival, which guests found delightful. While these gifts contribute to the positive experience, it should be noted that such extras are subject to the hosts' discretion and may not be guaranteed.

A well equipped pod with wonderful views, stunning sunsets and lovely woodland walks on the doorstep. Couldnât ask for anything more.

Contracted Sykes and the agent who dealt with our enquiry said that their system had automatically defaulted to later dates. This was less than ten minutes after receiving the confirmation email. We were told that we could not cancel and no refund would be available. Terrible service and after numerous bookings with Sykes it will definitely be our last. Their system at fault not ours as we were not at fault after their system had in the agents own words "defaulted!" I would have given no stars if it were an option. We eventually stayed for three nights and paid for five. Location was stunning but I'd advise booking direct with the owners as your not paying commission to Sykes who are totally profit focused

The pod was very clean, comfortable, cosy and well equipped to a high standard. The location of the pod was also of excellence with absolutely perfect beautiful views and walks. Overall I am struggling to find any negative. Thank you
