Sleeps up to 4

Hot Tub
Bedrooms: 2
Get away from the stresses of daily life when you holiday at this farm which boasts panoramic views of the rustic countryside and the village of Sheinton. There’s so little light pollution that stargazing will be a cinch. During the daytime, you’re welcome to explore the 4-acre orchard and 16-acre pastures. There’s a brook nearby where birds, insects and other wildlife come to drink. You can use the deer hides to watch the wild deer grazing peacefully or visit the farm to say hello to the small herd of pygmy goats. There is plenty to keep you relaxed here but when you feel the need to get out and about, Much Wenlock (3 miles) is a beautiful medieval town that has plenty to offer.

About Chipmunk Pod

Get away from the stresses of daily life when you holiday at this farm which boasts panoramic views of the rustic countryside and the village of Sheinton. There’s so little light pollution that stargazing will be a cinch.

During the daytime, you’re welcome to explore the 4-acre orchard and 16-acre pastures. There’s a brook nearby where birds, insects and other wildlife come to drink.

You can use the deer hides to watch the wild deer grazing peacefully or visit the farm to say hello to the small herd of pygmy goats. There is plenty to keep you relaxed here but when you feel the need to get out and about, Much Wenlock (3 miles) is a beautiful medieval town that has plenty to offer.

Not only is it full of interesting history (the modern Olympic Games are said to have been inspired by the 19th-century Wenlock Olympian Games), but there are plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants to keep you occupied too. Sheltering in beautiful countryside, walk into this cosy pod that’s perfect for friends and families to relax with all your creature comforts.

To your left is the kitchen area with all the equipment you need to rustle up a meal with local produce purchased on your travels. When ready, gather around the dining table for a leisurely meal and plan your holiday activities.

There is a shared laundry in a separate barn. The open-plan living area with comfortable sofa and chairs is a lovely space to return to after a full day out exploring.

Relax watching a film or your favourites on the Smart TV or peruse the magazines, books and local guides. If you fancy something more active, head over to the shared games room with table tennis and football table for evening entertainment.

Chipmunk Pod Reviews

Ben
We had such a lovely weekend here! The location is perfectand the owners are genuinely friendly and helpful. Even with other guests around, it felt private. The walks were gorgeous, beds super comfyand all the modern amenities in the pods made it perfect for us, the wife’s birthday and the dog included!
Jamie
We had a lovely stay! The pod felt really cosy but still had enough space for our family of four. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed - no fuss there. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious and felt quite luxurious. The hot tub was definitely a highlight; we loved relaxing in it while taking in the views. It’s partially covered, so we could use it rain or shine. The site was super peacefuland Helen, the host, was brilliant - she even found our son's lost wallet and returned it quickly. Great experience overall!
Emma
We had such a great time during our short stay! The pod was spotless and well-equipped, with a stunning location right on our doorstep. The hosts were super friendly and gave us some lovely suggestions for walks and places to visit. Can't wait to come back!
