“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 !

Roger December 2024

“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.

- Roger, December 2024

Thank you so much for the lovely review. The weather was truly atrocious. We’re pleased you still enjoyed your stay. And really hope to see you again and hopefully have a heatwave this time Property Owner

“Absolutely fabulous place to stay ,definitely the best one I have stayed in.”

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.

“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 didn’t 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.

- Ashley, May 2024

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you found everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Many thanks Andy & Dru Property Owner
Gina May 2024

“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.

- Gina, May 2024

Julia June 2023

“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

- Julia, June 2023

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at cherry pods and it was everything you wanted. We’re sorry you didn’t get to see the garden. But hopefully this will be an excuse to return. Many thanks Andy & Dru Property Owner
Abigail June 2023

“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.

- Abigail, June 2023

Thank you so much your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and that cherrypods had everything you needed. We look forward to seeing you again Many thanks Andy and Dru Property Owner
Donna June 2023

“Just fab. Everything you need and all very clean and comfortable.”

The grounds for doggies to run around safely is such a bonus our dogs loved it. Dru and Andrew so lovely. You must visit their wonderful garden just beautiful. We will definitely want to stay again.

“Perfect Getaway We had a fabulous long weekend at the Pod.”

The views were spectacular and the Pod was well equipped with everything we needed. Very dog friendly with an enclosed garden, which was very important to us, as we have a Jack Russell who is an escape artist. Local pub very friendly with the bonus of being so close. Lovely walks direct from the Pod, what more could you ask for! Andy and Dru extremely welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to return.

- Fiona, May 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. So please you enjoyed your stay. And we look forward to seeing you again. Regards Andy and Dru Property Owner

Andy welcomed us, transported our belongings to the Pod. When the hosts found out it was my Birthday during our stay , Andy & Dru gave me a beautiful bunch of flowers and a lovely birthday card. Very cosy , clean & fully equipped Pod. Peaceful location with amazing country views. Large fully enclosed field giving us peace of mind for our dogs to run around and play. We will be returning.

Tracey February 2023

“Absolutely perfect few days away.”

The Pod has everything and more. Cosy, warm and spotlessly clean. The owners went out of their way to help. There are many lovely dog walks directly from the Pod. The pub is within walking distance. The views are never ending, the sunrise and sunsets were some of the best I've seen. The Pod is definitely dog friendly with the added bonus of a large enclosed area where the dogs can play.

- Tracey, February 2023

Thank you so much for your review. Pleased that you enjoyed stay along with your dogs and that the pod had everything you needed. Thank you for staying with us Property Owner
Stuart December 2022

“My husband & I have just spent Christmas in the Cherry Pod.”

We were totally overwhelmed to see the effort that Dru & Andy had gone to, to make it as welcoming as possible. Andy welcomed us, delivered our belongings to the pod & ran through everything we needed to know, also offering any further support if necessary. Christmas trees with lights had been arranged leading to the pod. Decorations & lights on the decking & inside, we were greeted with mulled wine and chocolates, everything arranged to fit the season. The pod itself was spotless, you needed for nothing, everything was available, from cleaning products to even a hairdryer. Dru & Andy welcomed us into their home for food and drinks, we can honestly say there hospitality was overwhelming. They are a humble couple with great personalities and it was a pleasure to have met them. The New Inn not far from the pod is a great family pub, nice atmosphere & make lovely meals. The pod is situated on a large secured piece of land, where a great time can be had with family and pets, surrounded by an a amazing view. We have already decided we will be returning, we recommend this experience it was a great one. Audrey & Stuart.

- Stuart, December 2022

Wow. Thank you so much for this outstanding review. It was lovely meeting the both of you. And pleased the pod met everything you could wish for. All the best with the house hunting. And look forward to seeing you both again. Property Owner
Jonathan December 2022

“Just spent three lovely nights at the cherry pods.”

It over looks stunning views and a large enclosed paddock that our dog loved. We all enjoyed the walks even though the temperature was in minus figures. Very cosy and warm in the pod and it has everything you need to enjoy your stay. There is also dog friendly pubs, one within a 5 minute walk which is cozy with an open fire. Andy & Joy were lovely hosts and even pulled our bags with a tractor & trailer from the car to the pod. We will definitely be going back but will experience the summer months there next year.

- Jonathan, December 2022
Michael October 2022

“The Cherry Pod we stayed in was beautifully appointed with everything in there that could be needed to ensure a great stay.”

We brought our dog and she really enjoyed the space of the enclosed paddock. The location and views were stunning, providing scenic walks where the dog could also enjoy a run off the lead. The owners were very welcoming and helpful and could not have been nicer. There was a range of useful leaflets/books/maps detailing places to visit and we loved our trip to Shrewsbury which is so vibrant and historical and so very 'dog-friendly' too. All in all, a great time was had by all. Many thanks.

- Michael, October 2022
Chris October 2022

“Great location, cosy and clean accommodation.”

Only small issue is tv on wall adjacent to sofa not opposite , you can't both watch TV together

- Chris, October 2022

Pleased you enjoyed your stay. Andy must of forgot to say you can move the sofa round if you so wish too. The tv position will be rectified in the next pod. Sorry for any inconvenience caused Property Owner
Kimberley October 2022

“We stayed at the cherry pod last weekend and had an amazing time!”

Andy and Dru were there to meet us on arrival. They explained everything to us and pointed out where the pub was and the walking routes. We had our 1 year old dog with us and we felt very relaxed knowing the garden was fully secure, and what a garden it is! Our dog loved just running around! She also loved sitting and watching the pigs. The pod was clean, modern and very comfortable. We had such a lovely weekend sitting out on the decking and having a bbq. We also sat around the firepit when the sunset. We really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, we are already looking at dates to return next year.

- Kimberley, October 2022

Thank you so much for your feed back. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. And look forward to seeing you again soon. Once again thank you Property Owner
Chris September 2022

“We had a lovely stay in the Cherry Pod, it was perfect for the 2 of us and our 2 dogs.”

Everything as described. The dogs loved the large, enclosed garden. Shrewsbury town is only a short drive away with lots to do there. Walks through the fields start on your doorstep and we really enjoyed a meal at the local pub, just 5 minutes walk away. We had a take-away delivered by Radbrook Spice on our second night which was really nice. Andy and Dru are great hosts and we will certainly look to book again. 5-star all round!

- Chris, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. And look forward to seeing you both again. Property Owner
Stuart September 2022

“Our first pod experience was really enjoyable.”

Andy and Dru have done a really good job, equipping both the inside and outside space with everything you could want. The pod is set at the top of a secure paddock with loads of safe space for our border collie to enjoy and with lovely views to take in, and was a good base for days out either walking on the hills or heading into Shrewsbury. There's also the benefit of a friendly pub just a very short walk away that does good food (be aware it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays though). We would definitely stay here again.

- Stuart, September 2022
Thomas September 2022

“Thank you so much for a lovely stay, exactly as advertised, perfect doggie heaven.”

No petty rules just free to enjoy your stay and beautiful scenery all around. Would definitely stay again, lovely hosts. Thanks again, Tom, Liz and Paddy. Xx

Zoe August 2022

“Wow!!!”

! We have returned from a fabulous mini break at Cherry pods . Just what we needed to relax and unwind in a fabulous unique Shropshire countryside location. Andy and Dru are amazing hosts who can’t do enough for you . They have everything covered sharing their local knowledge on great things you may wish to do. They made us feel so welcome and are such warm genuine people. We where very impressed with the ultra modern pod with such high quality finish inside and out. Which had everything for your stay. The decked area outside has unbelievable 360degree fantastic views of Shropshire. The pods is set in its own secured paddock with is great for furry friends. We have also been very looking to have a look around their outstanding garden. We can not recommend Cherry pods enough and we will are spreading the word among our friends. We will be back in autumn as we have not seen everything the area has to offer plus Andy and Dru feel more like old friends after our visits..

- Zoe, August 2022

Thank you for your comments about the pod & the garden we were only saying how we have been very lucky to have such friendly people staying at cherry pods and we hope we become old friends ,thank you Property Owner

Our dogs loved the enclosed outside space. Totally recommend.

Andrew August 2022

“Wow! What can I say about this beautifully located, immaculate pod.”

Situated in its own enclosed paddock, (ideal for our 1 year old Labrador puppy) at the rear of the owner’s property, this accommodation has amazing views of the Shropshire countryside, with many local walks right on the doorstep. Andy and Dru are the perfect hosts, there to meet you on your arrival at the property and guide you through the internal layout of the property and how everything works. This accommodation has everything that you could possibly need for your stay, (including a gas barbecue and cooking utensils). It is beautifully accessorised inside, with a lot of thought going into the details, which make it feel very homely too. A tour of the paddock was offered, where we were introduced to their pigs, followed by a brief view of their Japanese tea house, situated through a small gate in the bottom of the paddock, in the top corner of their amazing garden. (We were privileged to be invited to join guests at an open garden afternoon at their property. A beautiful garden and well worth viewing if you have the opportunity). Andy and Dru were very knowledgeable about the local places of interest to visit, both in the car and on foot. We were made to feel very welcome by Andy and Dru and left Cherry Pods knowing that we had established a new friendship with these warm, and inviting people. We are already planning a return visit to Cherry Pods next year, to explore some more of this beautiful area where the majority of places are dog friendly.

- Andrew, August 2022
Curtis August 2022

“This was a wonderful break and we will definitely be going again.”

Mary July 2022

“Just returned home after a three day idyllic stay at cherry pod.”

Andy and Dru were both welcoming and informative about surrounding areas to visit. Plus Dru invited us to visit their beautiful garden. Stunning. We also made friends with 4 little pigs who live in the owners garden.

- Mary, July 2022

Thank you so much for the feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
Sara July 2022

“Cherry Pod was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.”

The info about the property and local area, and directions & map, that I received BEFORE my stay were particularly clear and helpful. As soon as I arrived, Andy came out to warmly greet me and show me the Pod. It looked rather nice online but on sight it was even better. It's equipped well with high quality items - a very comfortable leather sofa, smart brand new kettle, toaster and fridge etc, Mira power shower and great Body Shop toiletries. The neat and ingenious kitchen has everything - even down to two measuring jugs, olive oil spray and clean, new chopping boards. The Pod is as pictured size-wise, i.e. bijou, but the bathroom was slightly bigger than I expected and on my own I never felt cramped, (in fact I did an online Tai Chi class one evening in the middle of the pod with plenty of space around me!) The terrace has lovely views over fields and hills and faces the setting sun so I enjoyed sitting on it very much. I even managed to bring my 95 year old Mum to the terrace one night for drinks and she was absolutely delighted. A great experience; I'd visit again.

- Sara, July 2022

Thank you so much for the review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. And hopefully see you again. Property Owner
Paul July 2022

“Wow...”

An experience not to be missed! Just a first class set up, accommodation and setting which is topped off by two the loveliest people, the owners, you could ever wish to meet. Warmly and promptly greeted on arrival, taken to the property and filled with all the relevant information on the way. The accommodation sits within an enclosed paddock (ideal for your furry friends) with amazing views cross the Shropshire countryside. The accommodation itself is amazingly well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing break - including things you hadn't thought of that or knew that you'd need! Just awesome! Within easy reach of local amenities and walks to keep the most avid of trekkers content, this setting is secluded without feeling isolated and is just perfect way to relax and unwind - for both yourself and your pets if they come with you. I will definitely return and really can't commend Cherry Pod highly enough. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended!!! P.S. if you get the chance to view the owners garden(s) then jump at the chance! If your gardening is your thing, then what they have done needs to be seen to be believed!

- Paul, July 2022

Wow. Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Manjit July 2022

“Nothing to fault.”

Pod was beautiful and clean, had all the amenities for a very comfortable stay. Owners were very welcoming and very helpful. Our dogs had the most amazing time running free in all that land securely and safely. We will definitely be going back! Would recommend to anyone.
