  • "Couldn’t recommend this pod highly enough!"

    Fantastic stay from the moment we got there til the morning we left Will be back for sure!

    Thankyou so much much for your wonderful feedback. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic property."

    So cleverly designed and lots of nice extra touches like coffee, tea and milk all waiting for us. Cooking facilities perfectly adequate for what we wanted for a short stay. We particularly wanted a hot tub as a special treat and this one didn’t disappoint. We’d love to return to the area but would probably choose a larger pod if we were staying longer.

    Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback. We do have one larger pod here too which is perfect for longer stays as you have more downstairs living space but very glad you enjoyed Stapeley pod too Property Owner

    Its very private and has the most stunning views. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. The location is a great place to reconnect with nature, and still keep in contact with the outside world with WiFi and mobile signal.

    Thankyou ever so much for your kind feedback. We hope we've given our guests the choice between being connected and being able to switch off and retreat too. We very much appreciate guests taking the time to leave us some feedback so thanks so much. Angie. Property Owner

    It snowed on the Saturday and this just seemed to make the location even more magical and remote. The Prosecco and brownies are a lovely touch, it was comfortable and warm inside and the scenery outside was great for a walk. We will be booking again for another long weekend.

    Thankyou for your kind feedback. The area is very idyllic if your lucky enough to get a scattering of snow! Very helpful feedback for future guests too so thankyou for taking the time to leave us some much valued feedback. Kind regards Angie. Property Owner

  • "We booked a weekend break here for the end of Feb 2024 - we will definitely be returning!"

    The pod was absolutely spotless and so welcoming - the Prosecco and homemade brownies were such a lovely touch. It was very cold outside whilst we were there but the pod itself was so warm and cosy. The views were beautiful and the pod itself is really private with fencing separating you from the other pods. Even though it was only 1C in the evening the hot tub was lovely and warm and again spotless. Communication from the owners was excellent - will be recommending to all of our friends and family :)

    Thankyou so so much for your lovely and kind words. We are only a small business so we totally and completely appreciate your kind comments and words of recommendation. Thankyou for your support and hopefully we will see you again sometime. Kind regards Angie. Property Owner

  • "A lovely stay."

    The pod was beautiful. Surroundings were beautiful. Lots of information about how things worked which was really helpful. Suprise goodies left for us which was very appreciated. A very well appointed place. Shower is spacious and lots of hot water. Hot tub is private and well maintained. If you are visiting, remember to take handwash and some spray or wipes to clean after cooking etc as these are not provided. The fridge was humming which I just mention as it might need to be looked at, it was quite annoying. But I'm sure it's easily fixed. Only downside is the bed. It's an ottoman one with storage. Great idea, but it did not feel at all secure and sturdy for two plus size visitors. We were scared we would break it. Thank you for a lovely stay. The attention to detail and the way the pods are maintained and looked after was very appreciated.

Sunrise Pods

Enjoying vast views of the beautiful countryside within the Shropshire Hills AONB, you can find this delightful set of quirky and unique pods, providing fantastic accommodation for exploring the gorgeous surroundings. Take a break from a fast-paced life into the country with your loved ones and make these cute and compact pods your temporary homes, having one pod for each couple, you can come together to spend the days roaming the hills, and then retreat to your own space when night falls. Each pod has a nearly identical layout accessed via a fairy-style curved door, including a sitting area with a Smart TV, a modest kitchen space with all the essential appliances along with an intimate dining area, along with excellent WiFi so you can stay connected. To the rear of the pod is the snug double bed tucked in the corner, and a separate shower room to freshen up in. Outside each of the pods is a luxurious hot tub, a welcome sight of warm bubbles after a day of walking to relax you into your evening. The immediate area of the dwelling makes for a tranquil base, with plenty of opportunities for avid walkers; in reach of Mitchell’s Fold Stone Circle across the fields, you can find adventure on your doorstep. For all of your local amenities, the nearby village of Chirbury offers a modest selection of shops and eateries, or for even more excitement, venture into Bishop’s Castle where you will be greeted by historical wonder in the form of listed timber framed buildings, quaint shops and a “House on Crutches”. Walkers can delight in venturing along the Offa’s Dyke Path for some wonderful walking along the Welsh/English border, while heading over the border and into Wales can bring you to the large Norman ruins of Montgomery Castle, the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden and the wonderful Welshpool & Llanfair Railway. Sunrise Pods will bring you right into the centre of the natural landscape, an idyllic romantic haven in Shropshire.
