Stapeley Pod Reviews

Daniel

We had a fantastic time. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We didn't want to leave. Thank you

Natalie

The pod is situated in a quiet location with nice views across the Shropshire countryside. The pod is sited in it's own grounds and feels very private. The pod is well equipped with everything you need for a getaway. Everything is considered for the guest, including fresh towels and milk in the fridge. The pod is very warm and comfortable, with the hot tub just a short dash from the front door. The hosts are amazing!

Our stay at the Stapeley Pod was amazing. It was clean, had everything we needed, and comfy! We were lucky that the weather was amazing too which meant that we could spend ample amounts of time in the hot tub, and get to see the incredible morning views. The owners were lovely from start to end having left us brownies and prosecco to enjoy on arrival, best welcoming gift ever!! and also being so accommodating throughout. Well definitely be returning again in the future, it was honestly such a lovely place to spend our engagement!

Lovely stay in a beautiful location, with fantastic views and great hot tub after a long day of walking. Facilities were clean and well presented, it made for a nice weekend getaway. We also enjoyed the surprise bottle of fizz and brownies! A couple of concerns were the lack of good ventilation in the bathroom, resulting in lingering condensation and mould in the corners. There also seemed to be an issue with the dipping bathroom floor, shower door not closing properly and lukewarm water in the shower but this in no way affected a lovely stay!

Joanna

Was such a good experience we're looking at booking again! ! So many personal touches it was amazing

Barrie

We had a great stay at the stapeley pod. The hot tub was amazing. Also the proseco and Brownies were a lovely touch. We didn't get to explore the area too much as the weather wasn't on our side. However,this is a good thing as it gives us an excuse to return! We would highly recommend this perfect peaceful accommodation.

Frances

I had an awesome stay. The property was wonderfully comfortable and cosy. The rural setting was beautiful and peaceful and allowed me to have a very restful stay. The hot tub was amazing and the host was superb. Thank you for an awesome stay.

Couldnt recommend this pod highly enough! Fantastic stay from the moment we got there til the morning we left Will be back for sure!

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 didnt disappoint. Wed love to return to the area but would probably choose a larger pod if we were staying longer.

Suzanne

Stapley Pod is a clean and well equipped little retreat. 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.

Stephanie

Loved staying here, absolutely beautiful pod, extremely comfortable bed and perfect hot tub, lovely owner that gave us a brilliant recommendation for Sunday lunch. Would definitely stay again

Richard

It was a beautiful weekend in a beautiful setting, peaceful and relaxing just what was needed. 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.

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

Richard

Lovely stay and the owners are lovely people it's our second time here and we will be staying again thank you so much

Eloise

A really lovely place to stay if you need to have a little escape from reality. The hot tub is perfect for watching the sunrise and stargazing! The pod is warm and cozy which was great since we visited in January. Everything we needed was provided and the Prosecco and homemade brownies were a lovely touch! Thank you!

Rachel

Such a clean, relaxing and beautiful location. We found some lovely treats on arrival and plenty of local information to help us plan our days. I will be booking again for sure!

Natalie

Beautiful pod, perfect location the views are incredible. Lovely touches with the brownies and Prosecco on arrival. The walk to the stone circle from the pod was really nice and well signposted. We couldnt have asked for anything more for our minimoon after just getting married

Michelle

The pod was fantastic has everything you can need we went to re charge for the weekend so didn't leave the pod for 3 days and it was fantastic the views the hot tub the little treats supplied all fab we couldn't of asked for more we will definitely be back again soon . We have been to a few places around Shrewsbury and this pod definitely has the upper hand on them great WiFi. Heating was great and you can't get enough of them views even with the weather rolling in it is beautiful to watch .

Doshane

Lovely place to stay definitely going again.

Rebecca

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.

Linsey

Amazing stay! Pod was beautiful and had everything we needed! We really enjoyed it and the hot tub! X

Hi we had a great time at your lovely pod it was really relaxing and peaceful and will be back in the future will definitely recommend it to family and friends just one thing is it needed a washing up bowl or a plug for the sink . Thanks again from Tony & Tracy.

Amazing place to stay. Beautiful scenery, clean and modern facilities and a hot tub! The small touches sets this pod apart, lots of info on what to do in the area left inside which was extremely helpful, free wifi which was fast the delicious homemade brownies and a bottle of prosecco waiting when you arrive. Lots of tea, coffee, sugar, and milk available not just one or two meaning you never had to want for anything in this stay. Had a little chat with the owner about walks in the area she was lovely to speak to when testing the water quality on the hottub. They really do look after you ! Woukd 100 recommend staying here and will do so again.

Olivia

A wonderful break away from reality, the views were amazing especially in the snow! Owners were lovely always checking in making sure we were ok and even helping us out the snow. The prosecco and brownies were a great treat too. Everywhere was clean and the hot tub was bliss especially in the evening watching the stars 1010 stay will definitely be going back

Everything was what I was expecting and more. Clean, nicely decorated, smart use of space, warm, all facilities in working order, privacy, peaceful. A beautiful pod surrounded by beautiful scenery! The brownies very yummy and proseco were a lovely welcoming touch. 1 thing needed a new guest book as we finished one with our comments.
