  • Peaceful rural site with views over the Shropshire Hills
  • A 10-minute drive from Church Stretton and the Long Mynd
  • A mile from a country pub for drinks and food
What gorgeous views there are from South View Pods, looking out over the Shropshire Hills (no surprise to find this has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). That’d be a fine backdrop to an evening sizzling sausages on the barbie while the sun sets, yes…? And the surrounds would also be a fab place to get out for a few strolls or cycle rides – long ones on the Long Mynd or shorter ones to the pub are both perfectly possible (it’s a mere mile to the nearest country inn). Countryside may be all around, but urban amenities aren’t far away either: Church Stretton is 10 minutes’ drive away. Pack a mattress and bedding for your pod stay and you’ll hopefully be in for a peaceful night’s slumber – your cosy wooden hut is kitted out with a kingsize double bed frame to kip on, and has lighting, electrical sockets and heating (no scrabbling around in the cold and dark here, you’ll be chuffed to hear). The rear and front windows have blinds to block out early morning sun: lie-ins almost essential… Toilets and showers are a short scamper away in a modern toilet block, and you’ll also have access to drinking water and a washing-up area.

Camping pod

Liked: Views, peaceful atmosphere. Clean and tidy. Good price. Easy to access.

Disliked: Shower with payment of 20 p per minute. Msy I suggest a contact less payment or flat rate when booking?

Recycling of plastics and metal? Could only find a bin labelled glass.

Camping pod

Liked: Fantastic location and lovely quiet site. Check-in was easy, quick message to Ben and he gave me the code for the gate. Toilet and shower is really clean and plenty of hot water. Hut is basic, but has lighting and electricity. The main bed frame is a king size, but I used a really high airbed with built in pump which wasn't ideal as it came to the same height as the 3rd single bed frame. You'll probably be better with a 'normal' airbed instead. I'd definitely stay again.

Disliked: Nothing

Camping pod

Liked: Very warm pod, clean and spacious washing facilities, very quiet. Did not meet owners but all info provided in advance for access, pod pre warmed for us and the radiator works really well, a bit too warm really. Pod very clean and solidly constructed. Bed slat structure very solid and large. We brought a pod coffee machine and a lamp for extra luxury although the main light is not too harsh. I could not get any internet but my partner could and I hotspot him. I brought a pan of food and gas stove for dinner which I heated up on the porch. Did not see a BBQ.

Disliked: Could not get key to work for the pod door

Camping pod

Liked: Great surroundings, on site toilet/shower and the lodge was warm & dry

Disliked: I felt as though you could only park on the gravel directly out front of the lodge, which unfortunately spoiled the view. However this is something that may not have been compulsory but I assumed parking on the grass wasn't a good idea.

Liked: As always, I never have any issues with staying here. The pod is always immaculate when I go as well.

The sheep was soo close this time 😍

Usually stay with my daughter but this time around I came alone. Have booked again and will continue too come back for as long as the pod stands 🤣

There is no WiFi on site but your mobile should work fine I'm on 02 and have fab signal and have no issues with hot spotting from my phone to a laptop ext.

Disliked: Never had a issue

Local attractions

This is a fab area to get out for some fresh air – bring your boots or your bike to get out and explore the surrounding Shropshire Hills or head to the heathland of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, around 10 minutes away by car. Step back in time by driving the five minutes to Acton Scott Historic Working Farm for a taste of rural life in the olden days, complete with dressing up and lots of friendly animals to meet. Or look at life even further back with a trip to medieval Stokesay Castle, 20 minutes away, or Wroxeter Roman City (25 minutes). If Victorian’s more your era, head to the World Heritage Site half an hour away at Ironbridge – there are 10 museums over here where you can pick up all sorts of scientific and historic snippets to ponder as you munch on traditional treats from the sweetie shop.
