Cherry Pod Reviews

Kimberley

What a fabulous place! Thankyou for a wonderful stay. Everything you can think of was supplied and the dog had a great time running around in the enclosed field. The hot tub was ready to sink into as soon as we got there. Can't wait to return. Already passed on the business card to friends.

We first stayed in Cherry Pod 2 back in April and loved it so much that we came back in September to stay in Cherry Pod itself. This visit was for a special birthday, and the thoughtful touches on arrival cake, fizz, balloons and banners made it feel really memorable and very much appreciated. The pod is spotless, cosy and wellequipped, with beautiful views all around. Its so peaceful and relaxing that you can switch off instantly. Our dog adored the secure paddock to run and sniff. She honestly didnt want to leave! We didnt use the hot tub this time as we didnt want to leave her while we jumped in but it looked lovely. Highly recommend. well definitely be back again.

Heather

We loved our trip to Cherry Pods. The pod had everything we needed and was cosy. The grounds were great for the dogs. The hot tub was great but we didn't get the knack of getting the right temperature so each time had to wait a while and put cold water in as was too hot for us to get in.

Lovely pod in its own area of field. Great to be able to let the dogs roam around in their own enclosed area. Very comfortable pod which is well equipped. The hot tub is a welcome bonus. Great for hot or cold weather. Very relaxing to sit in and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside.

Kieran

The property is fantastic and well kept and the owners are brilliant and ... The property is fantastic and well kept and the owners are brilliant and definitely will be returning in the near future, it's overall a lovely little break away for any and everyone

Amazing place very relaxed break and amazing views, lovely greeting on arriving and all are needs where more than met. Can't recommend this enough

Carrie-ann

Our stay was fantastic. The pod is comfortable and cosy and has everything you need. The view is absolutely beautiful and the hot tub was such a lovely treat. The location is really fantastic with a lovely pub walking distance and beautiful walks nearby. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Absolutely loved our stay at Cherry Pod 1 in a beautiful spot very private with amazing view and only a short car distance from Shrewsbury and several tourist spots like Ironbridge. The hosts were lovely and have thought of literally everything you just need to turn up the hot tub was a very welcome bonus and lovely to sit in during the evening and watch the sunset. A large garden which is fully fenced for your dog would definitely recommend staying here just wish we booked for longer ! You will not be disappointed !

Angela

Wow! We had the most amazing stay in Cherry Pod 1. As soon as we stepped through the gate we knew it was a 1210 very relaxing, spacious paddock for our 16yr old dog to walk and sniff in. Andy was very helpful and a perfect host. The Pod was well equipped with everything you needed down to the little things like spray oil toiletries, kitchen roll all of which we really appreciated. The Pod itself was immaculate, bedding, heating and kitchen fitted to a lovely standard. We used the wood burning hot tub which was bliss. This is charged extra and not included in the booking The location has beautiful views, little noise and only a seven minute drive to Shrewsbury. We wouldnt hesitate to book again and thank Andy for making our stay perfect.

We wanted a short break to rest and enjoy the view Cherry pod ticked all those boxes. The pod was well equipped and far more comfortable than others we have stayed in before . The owners were helpful and friendly. The hot tub took a while to heat initially but stayed warm with the cover on, which made it quick to reheat the next day. Worth the extra money in our opinion. Our dog was happy and safe in the enclosed garden and she enjoyed the space. All in all we had a lovely break and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to others. Would definitely stay again.

A Perfect Breakaway Easy navigation of website. Stress free booking. Pet friendly. Cherry Pods have everything you could ever need for a few days away to recharge yourself. Contact throughout the process with our hosts Andy and Dru. Cherry Pods was an idyllic, tranquil haven with amazing views. The fenced paddock allowed my dog so much freedom. Big Thumbs up from him. Ps the brand new hot tub was extra special. Thanks again Andy and Dru.

Booked cherry pod for my daughter, partner and dog for a birthday get away. We was impressed before they got there, received an email with a pdf leaflet with helpful information about the pod, emergency numbers, local information, areas to walk and much more. It shows the dedication and helpfulness of the owner. My daughters feedback was that the owner was lovely and helpful. The pod was beautiful with a lot of facilities, they had a fire on the night, took in the beautiful peaceful views, whilst the dog let off some steam in the massive garden. The owner is in the process of fitting a hot tub which will make the pod even better. Will be booking again in the summer and will continue to book. Absolutely a wonderful place with a lovely owner. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cherry Pod. Despite 3 degree temperatures we were very comfortable and warm inside. The Pod had everything we needed and there was really great attention to detail. The location was beautiful and really convenient to get into Shrewsbury town too. We will definitely be planning a return visit !

Our stay was during the weekend of storm Darragh. The weather was awful, but the pod was so comfy it didn't matter! Small touches like the Christmas decorations and bedding were lovely, as we're the yummy mulled wine and biscuits. Andy and his wife were so nice and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend and we are hoping we can stay again in the future.

Caroline

Absolutely fabulous place to stay ,definitely the best one I have stayed in. Everything you could possibly need and more, and nothing too much trouble for the owner. Fabulous area for the dog to run round in, we had a brilliant few days and a smashing pub over the road with great food and welcoming staff and customers.

Rachel

We had a great stay in Cherry Pod. Super location! Well equipped, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Fabulous, huge fenced area for the dogs to run around safely and great views too. Lovely little pub at the bottom of the road serving great food. Thank you!

Rebecca

Absolutely loved staying here great hosts and amazing field for the dogs!

Absolutely fabulous stay at this amazing property. Views outstanding and large enclosed field for my dogs so I could just sit and relax whilst they played. Local pub just 5 minutes away and lots of walks nearby. Area is lovely and Dru and Andy were first class hosts. Will definitely return.

Gorgeous little cabin. Beautiful location. The owners, Andy and Dru, were on hand and very helpful and friendly. At the same time, gave us our privacy to enjoy our stay in peace. The cabin itself was impeccable clean and in excellent repair. And there's a lovely little pub just down the hill. Couldn't ask for anything more

Lovely break with our dog. Cherry Pod lived up to the description. The pod was clean and comfortable and the outside decking and facilities barbecue were very good. Our dog enjoyed the area with some lovely walks. We will definitely return to Cherry Pod.

Great location and an unexpected bonus to be able to see the owners beautiful garden. Thank you for taking the trouble to show us round.

Rhianna

Perfect stay, will 100 be returning! Very clean and had everything we needed, ideal location and enclosed garden was beautiful and perfect for our 2 dogs. Very picturesque, thank your for a lovely stay.

We had absolutely great stay despite rainy weather. Our dogs loved the paddock and fields in the area. There is lots of sighsteeing around the town and shopping centre nearby. Dru & Andy are extremely lovely, helpful and accommodating hosts. We already booked our next stay in a months time!

Ashley

We stayed at this property for 3 nights and had a nice relaxing time in the Quarter acre private field, it was all fenced off so dogs can run free with us worrying about interaction with next door. We didnt get out to explore apart from getting to the local coop but there was also a retail park nearby so no lack of shops. We would look at returning just for the Tranquility.

Cherry Pods is amazing accommodation. It's located in such a very nice place. There is a very large secure paddock area, which is excellent for the dogs. You are not overlooked by anyone and the scenery is fantastic. We were lucky with the weather so we spent a lot of time outside. However The pods themselves were very spacious with good facilities and very clean. There are some nice walks from site and just a short drive away. We will definitely return.

The place was very cozy and charming. I loved staying there!

What a wonderful place! We thoroughly enjoyed every second of our stay, even if the weather wasnt always on our side! Gorgeous Pods perfect for us and the dogs, easy to get to supermarkets and pubs essential!!

We had a great weekend away, everything & more than we needed in the very good sized Pod. Andy was very helpful & friendly and on hand to help with our bags as soon as we arrived. Great enclosed garden for our Cockapoo to run around in. We hope to return over the summer.

What a find, absolutely amazing pod. Hosts, Andy & Drew were on hand for anything we needed and were so lovely. They even decked outside and inside the pod with a Christmas tree and lights. Our pod was toastie over Christmas, internet and TV was perfect and hot showers too. This pod was better than most hotels we have stayed in, they just thought of everything for comfort. The village is very olde worlde, pub and beautiful walks right from the pod too. We shall be definitely booking again. Book with confidence. Thank you both for everything..

Sharon

Lovely helpful hosts really appreciated their help and knowledge, great pod and facilities great area for exploring. Would recommend.

Leah Fay

We had a lovely stay, just perfect for the dogs to have all that enclosed space. Lovely little touches on arrival and everything you need is there. It's location is great too, short easy journeys to some lovely places. Would highly recommend particularly if looking to stay somewhere with your dogs.

We stayed in cherry pod for 3 nights in September. Clean and well equipped. Friendly helpful owners. Large paddock to run the dogs in and walks from the pod. Great place!

Gillian

Superb pod. Everything you could possibly need provided by owner. Amazing place for your dogs to enjoy and a beautiful area to explore. I would also like to mention the New Inn pub down the road which is run by very friendly and welcoming hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cherry Pod and will definitely return.

The perfect place to bring your dog and relax. Very quiet and lovely walks straight from the pod.

Absolutely loved our stay, the dogs even more so. No complaints whatsoever and would definitely look to book again!

Me and my husband stayed here with our 2 Sausage dogs for a few days and it was lovely, everything you need and WIFI. The cherry on top was the enclosed space meaning, we could easily relax and let the dogs run around. We will be back!

Beniamin

Great place for stay, very helpful owner. Highly recommend.

Melissa

We had a fantastic time at the Cherry Pod everything we needed was included and our hosts were available but not at all intrusive.

Absolutely beautiful pods in a stunning location with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Very well thought out with plenty of nooks and crannies to give you plenty of space and homes for all your bits and pieces. The huge paddock outside is just incredible and a massive selling point for dog owners! The freedom and peace of knowing you can just let them roam and play and chase the ball whilst you sip on your Prosecco and soak up the view is relaxation at its finest. A haven of peace and tranquility I missed seeing the garden which was an oversight as it looked incredible. Cannot recommend enough. Julia, Mike & Skyler

Abigail

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, from being shown around the pod and paddock to being offered a tour of their garden. We didn't take them up on the offer of a garden tour as the weather over the weekend we were there was in the high twenties and a little humid. We did however, love using the BBQ and spent most of our time outside. The pod itself was compact but roomy and had everything you could want for a weekend or indeed a weeks stay. We will definitely be returning to explore more of the area. Oh and our dog Bruno loved saying hello to the pigs, Jess wasn't so sure but loved exploring the paddock.
