• "Very comfortable pod set in a beautiful & tranquil garden."

  Fully enclosed so great for the dog. Generally clean apart from high level cobwebs. Owners had included condiments, foil & clingfilm which was a nice touch - even a bottle of Procesco in the fridge on arrival. Great relaxing week - thank you

• "Amazing pod, Had everything we could have ever needed."

  Very clean and comfortable. Nice little extras too for the dog and a bottle of wine for us. Our host Di was very helpful and friendly when we met her, lovely meadow for the dog to play in. Great to be able to sit out on the decking even in the rain due to the covered area and the barbecue is a great extra feature too . Would definitely return and highly recommend .

• "Lovely place to stay for a few days and would definitely stay there again."

  The only observation I would make is that the evening we arrived it had rained and the temp dropped which turned the rain on the ramp and veranda to ice...it was quite treacherous...we managed ok but someone less steady on their feet could slip. Might be worth investing in a grit box of some kind? This is now way a complaint just an observation. It definitely wouldn't put me off staying again.

• "We had a beautiful peaceful week at Jacob's Meadow in Pod 2."

  The self contained pod has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, even for your dogs - Bowls, a blanket and poo bags are provided. The outside decking has a lockable gate so if you take children or pets it is secure. The meadow has secure fencing and gates too, although there are two ponds within the meadow so best to supervise dogs and especially children. Advice is also given on this in the information pack in the welcome folder in the pod. The pod has warm heating and is comfortable with good appliances for cooking if you want to stay in and eat. Extra blankets are provided for comfort if you need them. The shower is spacious and warm. Linen provided is clean and comfortable. It is out in the sticks but we love this, we go there for a complete break. If you do want to keep up with the outside world the WiFi and signal are very good

  This is the third time we’ve stayed (once in Pod 1) and love it every time! If you want a peaceful, relaxing break you really can’t beat Jacobs Meadow. The pods have everything you could ever need and more and the owners are lovely. We can’t wait to return!

  Thank you Steph and thank you the pod was left spotless. Property Owner

  Cosy and quiet, great for getting away from the everyday. Only thing that let's it down a slight bit is the bed mattress was a little to hard, but nothing that can be overcome by a mattress topper. Would definitely come back.

• "This has to be one of the best places we have stayed for peace and quiet."

  There is another pod, however this was vacant during our week so we had the place all to ourselves. Having said that we think it will still have been relaxing should the other pod have been used. We have stayed in a similar pod elsewhere so knew it would be nice. The advantage to this pod being provately owned is that is was epuipt with EVERYTHING you would need and more. Diane has thought of everything. My husband and two german shepherds didnt leave the site at all. The dogos loved the space outside, being nice and secure just off the quiet road allowed us to relax with being concerned about them wandering out. (Not that they would but easing nonetheless) There are plenty of walks and places to visit should you so choose, great place for singles, couples and families alike. We were lucky with the weather as a whole and got to use the gas fuelled BBQ. Makes such a change to having to source coal etc when staying somewhere, so this was great. A big bonus for us is that the location is only an hour and a half from home yet. This is truely a little gem and we will definately be back .

  Thank you Suzanne, your response was so lovely to hear. Property Owner

• "What an absolute gem."

  Coupled with long awaited settled weather, We had a very comfortable stay at Jacobs meadow pod 2. Amazed at how in such a compact space there was everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the veranda space and sitting out in the mornings eating breakfast watching red kites and hearing the cuckoo and curlews. Cozy settees for watching TV in the evening. Very good beds to sleep in. We had an issue with Tesco delivery driver not locating us so had to find a shop. A pint of milk for a hot drink left at the pod would have been nice for this eventuality. We had the electric trip out on us but it was quickly sorted once we found the electric box. A bit more instruction as to where to find the electric box and what the levers are might be helpful. We had no mobile phone signal for making calls to chase our shopping or to ring the owner. But we managed. Only small things. We would definitely return in a heartbeat. Thank you .

  Mixed weather but it didn’t matter. Time to unwind and listen to the birds. Hosts are extremely sociable and welcoming. Even a nice chilled bottle of wine waiting for us. We will definitely go again. Our dogs loved the freedom of running free round the field. And jumping in the pond and stream. Thank you for a delightful week

• "Absolutely spotless!"

  ! The plug in nightlight is a great touch as my Mum has poor eyesight. We did not understand what the raised bed really meant. My Mum was unable to get on and off safely and had to sleep in the lounge. She had no problem with this but the curtains were not blackout. So she didn't sleep as well. There was very little cupboard space for food so we had to leave most of it outside. The folding table was genius!! A motion sensor light could do with being installed by the gate as going to the car in the dark was quite dangerous. Now this sounds like we were unhappy, the absolute opposite and we can't wait to return!! What a perfect spot for a quiet getaway!! Hearing the running water from the Brook was lovely!! The heating was amazing! Certainly didn't take long to warm up!! As no drafts anywhere which was perfect!! Oh and no spiders!! Lol...bathroom was fabulous, I could absolutely live in one!! Thankyou

• "The pod was comfortable."

  The meadow was very peaceful and lots of thought had gone into its layout. The bird feeders in sight of the pod were lovely, as they attracted so many birds. The furniture was very comfortable. The verandah was marvellous, and we enjoying sitting out even when it was so hot, as we were protected from the sun. Our only suggestion is that the address to the pod includes White Grit. We travelled over 200 miles from West Sussex, and did not come via Shrewsbury. We had great difficulty finding it. Fortunatly, a local lady in one of the villages was able to direct us based on the tin church landmark. We did research the location before we left home and assumed the address given would enable us to find the location easily. The signal on our phones did not work in the local roads. We did have an ordnance survey map and would have been able to locate the pod easily if this information had been provided. This part of the world was entirely new to us. It was not the best way to start our holiday.

  So sorry you had trouble finding us, I will get on to it and get White Gritt mentioned in the directions. Thank you for your kind description of the over view of the pod as it didn’t have a good start to your holiday. Property Owner

  Appliances all easy to use and instructions available if necessary. Comfortable, firm beds. The shower and bbq are excellent. Enough room for 3 humans and two medium dogs so we didn't trip over each other during our week on site. Loved the porch area and its view and appreciated the quiet of the locale. The Pod 2 guide has great suggestions of things to do and places to visit within a short drive. Highly recommend the Co-op in Church Stoke/Yr Ystog for provisions.

• "Just back from a 4 night stay between Christmas and New Year staying in Pod 2."

  Arrived on Monday (Boxing Day) to a welcome pack of a luxury hamper including pate, crackers, jam, Christmas crackers and a bottle of Prosecco thank you! Access was easy via the key box located outside by the bbq and the pod was immaculately clean and tidy and decorated to a modern high standard. Listed to sleep 6 but a small family of four would realistically be the max especially in winter when confined more to the pod which is well designed to maximise the space. Everything we needed was to hand along with basic necessities such as tea, coffee, sugar and condiments etc. one slight gripe is that my wife found the mattress quite hard although I found it ok. We had two small dogs with us and found everything more than adequate for our stay as we spent much of our time out walking and taking in the stunning scenery close to the accommodation. There is another small pod next door and a cottage close by at the end of the drive but otherwise is quiet other than the occasional barking from the dogs up the road. The other pod was not occupied for most of our stay. Word of warning that this accommodation is fairly remote with the nearest supermarket (COOP) 6 miles away and although the pub is within walking distance it is a 15:1 hill down and 17:1 coming back up. All in all a pleasant stay and would highly recommend.

  Our views were stunning, and my son (a nature-mad 9 year old) was in heaven! The bird feeders kept us entertained with at least 11 different species visiting... the small pond was so relaxing to sit by... the local walks were gorgeous (and red kites circled above almost constantly). Wildlife fans will all adore this location - ten out of ten in every aspect. Also must mention that when I couldn't figure out the hot water for the shower, the owner was there to help in no time at all (but we had all the privacy and peace we wanted throughout our stay, with zero interference) Truly a brilliant place to holiday... will return!!!
