  • Peaceful glamping site on the border between Powys and Shropshire
  • A 20-minute drive from Powis Castle or Shrewsbury town centre
  • Smart units with private bathrooms and hot tubs
Welcome and croeso to Welsh Border Glamping, a smart glamping site located close to the border between England and Wales. Set in the peaceful Shropshire countryside, this sleepy spot has an attractive rural location. All units are cosy and kitted out with a proper double bed (some can sleep extra guests) and are dog-friendly, with one well-behaved four-legged friend allowed per unit. Tea and coffee making facilities are also included, and just outside there's a spacious outdoor seating area and a private hot tub just to top it all off. The units aren't ensuite, but each one does have access to a private designated toilet and shower in the communal amenities block. This is also where you can go to find cooking facilities, as the communal kitchen is equipped with a cooker, microwave, plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses and other kitchen kit for self-catering days. The site is in an area with plenty of wildlife and very low levels of noise and light pollution, so remember to sit back, tune in to the sights and sounds around you and to look up at the starry skies after nightfall.

Warren camping pod (hot tub, two person)

Liked: Exceeded our expectations! Not sure the information quite sells it enough, but it meant we were in for a lovely surprise when we arrived! Individual bathrooms to each pod, the communal area has individual cupboards per pod and has a fully functioning kitchen (inc fridge freezer, oven, micro etc) our pod had a little fridge, kettle, tea and coffee and milk, even left us a bag of crisps! Everything is spotless, including the hot tub! Honestly, super peaceful weekend away. As well as being in the middle of some beautiful areas to visit!

Disliked: Honestly nothing!

Orchard camping pod (hot tub)

Liked: The communal area was brilliant, games, tv, all cutlery and plates provided. Clean and well kept site.

Disliked: I wouldn’t recommend in the colder months with young children. Rain meant it was difficult to get back and too from the communal area and in and out of the pod and keeping it clean etc!

Orchard camping pod (hot tub)

Liked: Hot tub was fantastic to sit in, had a nice BBQ on the fire pit and the cabin was nice and cosy. Definitely stay again for a nice weekend. Thanks guys!

Disliked: Very little to dislike, maybe the lack of lighting but easily fixed, just bring your own torch/lantern.

Parrs camping pod (hot tub)

Liked: Everything was perfect, I could fault anything but the weather hahahaha

Disliked: I only put one star to Wi-Fi, as it didn’t have any, but for me this was perfect, if you had a child they could get 5g on a phone if really needed
