Stapeley Pod Reviews

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

Richard

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.

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.

We had a lovely weekend staying at the Stapeley pod. Very clean and comfortable, everything was perfect. The hottub was stunning!! The pod is very pretty especially lit up with the lights in the dark. Beautiful place so peaceful is what we needed. Will definitely be back again. The owners left us a nice surprises on arrival with Prosecco and brownies so kind. We enjoyed them all. Thank you

We had an amazing time me and my boyfriend at Sunrise pods. We stayed in the stapley pod and its was beautiful! Comfy beds, greats bathroom facilities and everything you need in the kitchen and a TV! The views and stargazing while sitting in a hot tub were fantastic. Also the little touches such as prosecco and delicious brownies you left for us was a lovely surprise! 5 stars.

Rizwan

Fantastic weekend stay, very clean, the milk and cookies were a nice touch. The hot tub was fabulous

We had a wonderful time at our very own hobbit pod. When we arrived everything was spotless. The chocolate brownies ,milk, coffee, tea bags, and of course the prosecco We used the hot many times relaxing sipping prosecco all this was done in private. The owner Angela was so friendly she came around every morning to check hot tub and ask if she could do anything or get us anything.and have a chat We took our 1 year old son with us and again Angela supplied us with a cot and a high chair at no extra cost. We will definitely come back maybe later in the year but definitely coming back to the pod next summer l will bring my halogen oven as there is no oven .the cooker was fine and a very good microwave but personal preference Only Kind regards John and Sarah

It was the little extras that really made you feel welcome and made it so special.

It was so much better in person than the picture. We will definitely be staying there again soon!

Very Clean and tidy I feel a broom would of been easier to clean with. TV with built in DVD player listed but not in room but overall we really enjoyed our stay at the pod and would defiantly return thank you

Lovely property. It had everything we needed and I can always find one thing that I need, but not on this trip. Property was very clean, nice touches with brownies and prosecco and great views from got tub. The Stables is a great pub 8 minutes away in the car. I couldn't recommend this pod enough.

Natalie

Myself & my partner spent the most amazing long weekend at Stapeley Pod. It was clean, super cosy and had everything we needed for a relaxing break away from our usual busy lives. The Hot tub was out of this world, relaxing under the stars and in the snow at night and watching the sunrise in the morning Just perfect! Angie & Stuart were super helpful with a great informationwelcome pack and recommendation on where to go for some Christmas shopping! The added Prosecco, biscuits & milk when we arrived was very well received and so appreciated. We went for a 5 mile walk along the hills and countryside behind the pod with the most breathtaking views we have ever seen. We will definitely be back and cannot recommend this beautiful place enough. What an absolute hidden gem in the stunning Shropshire hills

This is a lovely place to stay. Quiet , tranquil with excellent views over the fields. The pod is comfortable and snuggly with everything you need for a short break or an extended stay. The only thing we found was a lack of food places nearby that deliver but other than that everything was perfect. !!

Jessie

Absolutely amazing stay, perfect for a couples getaway with homemade muffins and cold Prosecco waiting for your arrival, definitely will come again soon!

Stunning little pod , so cosy and clean . Had everything you could need perfect little get away , hot tub was amazing and a great base to explore from would highly recommend we cant wait to return

We had a fabulous holiday. The van was really well fitted out. A bread knife was the only thing lacking. Hot tub was fab. Tranquil location.

Malcolm

Our first time staying in a pod and it will not be our last. The facilities and attention to detail on fit out and welcome pack covered all our needs. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful location, interrupted only by the occasional peripheral noise from the cattle sheep and the birds, which provided an ideal base for exploring the Shropshire Hills and a place you were happy to return to at the end of the day. The hot tub was great, quietly maintained daily and a fantastic way to relax in the evening. We will be returning soon.
