Enjoy self-contained luxury Shropshire glamping pod holidays – our warm, pet-friendly, en-suite pods are hidden away in the beautiful lake-lands of Ellesmere.

-    Underfloor heating

-    Fire pit for barbecuing  

-  No smoking in the pods.
- One dog per pod permitted by arrangement and at additional charge.
-    For fire safety and to prevent lingering cooking smells, we do not allow indoor cooking other than with our microwave. You may cook outdoors using our fire pit.
