Just had this amazing review for Cherry pods. To finish off our amazing and grateful first year.

My husband & I have just spent Christmas in the Cherry Pod. We were totally overwhelmed to see the effort that Dru & Andy had gone to, to make it as welcoming as possible. Andy welcomed us, delivered our belongings to the pod & ran through everything we needed to know, also offering any further support if necessary. Christmas trees with lights had been arranged leading to the pod. Decorations & lights on the decking & inside, we were greeted with mulled wine and chocolates, everything arranged to fit the season. The pod itself was spotless, you needed for nothing, everything was available, from cleaning products to even a hairdryer. Dru & Andy welcomed us into their home for food and drinks, we can honestly say there hospitality was overwhelming. They are a humble couple with great personalities and it was a pleasure to have met them. The New Inn not far from the pod is a great family pub, nice atmosphere & make lovely meals. The pod is situated on a large secured piece of land, where a great time can be had with family and pets, surrounded by an a amazing view. We have already decided we will be returning, we recommend this experience it was a great one. Audrey & Stuart.

As you can see our second pod has its own area which will be fenced off ready to accept our doggie friends and 30 meters away from our first pod so give both occupants plenty of privacy which ever one you choose.

Wow!!!! We have returned from a fabulous mini break at Cherry pods . Just what we needed to relax and unwind in a fabulous unique Shropshire countryside location. Andy and Dru are amazing hosts who can’t do enough for you . They have everything covered sharing their local knowledge on great things you may wish to do. They made us feel so welcome and are such warm genuine people. We where very impressed with the ultra modern pod with such high quality finish inside and out. Which had everything for your stay. The decked area outside has unbelievable 360degree fantastic views of Shropshire. The pods is set in its own secured paddock with is great for furry friends. We have also been very looking to have a look around their outstanding garden. We can not recommend Cherry pods enough and we will are spreading the word among our friends. We will be back in autumn as we have not seen everything the area has to offer plus Andy and Dru feel more like old friends after our visits..

We have had another review from a quest
Cherry Pod was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.

The info about the property and local area, and directions & map, that I received BEFORE my stay were particularly clear and helpful.

As soon as I arrived, Andy came out to warmly greet me and show me the Pod. It looked rather nice online but on sight it was even better. It's equipped well with high quality items - a very comfortable leather sofa, smart brand new kettle, toaster and fridge etc, Mira power shower and great Body Shop toiletries. The neat and ingenious kitchen has everything - even down to two measuring jugs, olive oil spray and clean, new chopping boards. The Pod is as pictured size-wise, i.e. bijou, but the bathroom was slightly bigger than I expected and on my own I never felt cramped, (in fact I did an online Tai Chi class one evening in the middle of the pod with plenty of space around me!)

The terrace has lovely views over fields and hills and faces the setting sun so I enjoyed sitting on it very much. I even managed to bring my 95 year old Mum to the terrace one night for drinks and she was absolutely delighted.

A great experience; I'd visit again.
