What you'll do

Head to a hidden gem nestled along the Shropshire/Powys border, and get yourself well and truly off the beaten track and retreat into your very own peaceful pod, far from the rush of the city and immersed in stunning, quiet countryside.

*Please note the Warren pod is a 2 person pod only.

These glamping pods are designed to help you make the most of the lush, green landscape you’ll spend your time living in, as you lie back at night listening to the sounds of the wildlife under a star lit sky, to when you soak up the warmth of the morning sun as you enjoy breakfast.

Remember to try and spot the resident barn owl hunting over the fields, and then turn your gaze skywards as you take in the stunning night sky, scattered with stars, as you relax in your hot tub and luxuriate at that feeling of really getting away from it all.

In the daytime, explore the local area on beautiful hikes or rambles to local spots like Rodney’s Stone, or head to the grandeur of Powys Castle to understand the heritage of the region. You can also visit Attingham Park or Powys Castle, both wonderful Natural Trust sites that are located just a stone’s throw away. By night, relax in your private hot tub under the stars at your unique accommodation.

There are 3 pods on site, Orchard, Parrs (sleeps 2 adults/2 kids) and Warren Pod (which sleeps 2).

What our travellers are saying...

Needed a break away from the stresses of work and life, this was the perfect place and pet friendly. Peaceful and spotless whilst relaxing in the tub with a cold one! Will be back next year

Paul C

Would highly recommend! Pods are small and cozy, and come with a small heater for the cold blooded among us! The hot tub was ready for use when we arrived and was well used over the weekend. The bathroom facilities were clean and the communal kitchen had everything you could possibly need! Felt very safe and clean whilst in the midst of a global pandemic! The personal touches for my partners birthday were lovely so thank you. Will definitely
