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.

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

James
What a gem. Amazing location owners very friendly and helpful. Although there were other guests on site you felt as though you had the whole place to yourself. Lovely walks extremely comfortable beds and all mod cons in the pods. Wonderful time with for my wife's birthday with the kids and dog.
Rob
We really enjoyed our stay. The pod is cosy, but comfortable for a family of 4. The compact kitchen has everything you would need, and the bathroom is spacious and luxurious. The hot tub is a great addition, and we spent lots of time in there enjoying the views. It's also partially covered so you can enjoy it whatever the weather. The site is quietRead more and peaceful, and Helen, the host, was great, not least because she found our son's lost wallet and got it back to use super quick. Hide
Kelly
