Off-grid, back to nature, whatever you’d like to call it… that’s what you’ll be getting stuck into at Rye Bank Adventures in the peaceful Shropshire countryside. This dog-friendly site on the Cheshire and Shropshire border is based right next to the Llangollen Canal, and you’ll have exclusive use of the whole site for up to eight adults and eight children. So, get stuck into fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing on the canal (or just watch the canal boats go by)… and then return to your Landpods, which consist of a sleeping pod named The Pod Father, two Woodland Lodges and the Eden Lodge (a maximum of eight adults is recommended for your stay). They’re just for you, and that includes the wet room pod, which has a warm shower and composting toilet, with shampoo, conditioner and body wash all provided. A large, covered dining area is also provided, and for some extra indulgence, you can relax in the on-site hot tub. You’ll be doing the cooking in the camp kitchen, which has everything you’ll need but food and drinks. There’s a firepit should you wish to cook the old-school way; it has an integrated oven. If you’d rather eat out, there are pubs, restaurants and a café within a short walk or drive of the site. There’s plenty of wildlife to observe in the daytime (think buzzards, red kites, kestrels, herons, woodpeckers, hares, bats, foxes, stoats and badgers). By night, both sides of the Landpods open up fully, giving a view of the sunrise, sunset or stars from the comfort of the bed. What about your days out? The site’s next to part of the National Cycleway and there are lots of footpaths in the local area (some leading to very nice pubs). Hire a canal boat from Wrenbury Mill half an hour’s walk away if you wish. The nearest golf course is 10 minutes’ drive away too.

Charlotte P. 1 review

Landpod Quad camping pod (hot tub)

Liked Whole site to ourselves for three families was brilliant!
Freedom for the kids and dogs to roam safely in a lovely campsite.
The pods are warm and very comfortable. It poured down but they held strong!
The kitchen and dining room are kitted out with everything you need, including games, wood for fires, cooking equipment and loads of plates etc. Gas BBQ made cooking easy for all 13 of us.
We all loved our stay and the hot tub was a big hit with the kids and adults.
Ed gave our kids a tour of the animals and was a brilliant host all the way through.
Would absolutely recommend!

Disliked Nothing it was all great.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much Charlotte for your review, it means so much to us and helps others decide if they wish to stay with us.
It was great to meet you all amd we are glad that you all had a great time despite the weather.
We very much hope to see you all again.
