Castle Farm Holidays Shropshire - Oak - Glamping Pod
Shropshire
View on Google MapsEllesmere's Shropshire Meres – a chain of glacial lakes formed by retreating ice – are five miles from Castle Farm Holidays, close enough for morning walks along the water and exploration of independent shops in the town. Oswestry's markets and high street lie nine miles away. The Welsh border sits just a mile off, putting Llangollen within easy driving distance; the area draws visitors for its narrow-gauge steam railway, canal routes and hill walks up to Castell Dinas Brân. St Martins village, two miles south, has a supermarket, café and pub for everyday needs.
Oak is a single wooden pod with one ground-floor room that serves as living and sleeping space. Two sofa beds can be arranged as singles or pushed together as a double, and there is a kitchenette with microwave and fridge. Electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels come as standard. The shower block – a modern facility with cubicles and heated towel rails – is a minute's walk away and is shared with other glamping pods on site. A private outdoor sink serves the pod, useful for rinsing off after outdoor activities. Each pod has its own parking for two cars and picnic bench in the enclosed shared grounds.
The pod sleeps two people. One well-behaved pet stays free. No smoking indoors.

Lovely glamping holiday. The hut was simple but clean and cosy. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk left for us on arrival. The fire pit and marshmallows we ordered were all ready as well. They even left dog treats for our dog. The site is unbelievably clean and super quiet. Great place to get away for a few nights

I had such a nice time here. I've never been glamping before and wasn't sure what to expect but it was fantastic. I'd communicated with the owner during the week before and she got back to promptly to explain a few things I'd missed in the booking email. The cabin itself was really quite spacious, I've been led to believe they're slightly bigger and more equipped than other glamping pods out there. It had heating too which was much needed on the mornings. The facilities were all brilliant, nice warm showers, big sinks to wash up the dishes, picnic table to eat on. There's even a place to sit in besides the pods with comfy chairs and enough tour guides to give you endless possibilities. Honestly couldn't recommend this place enough and we'll definitely be booking again in the future.

The pods were very clean and included very good amenities ie fridge, kettle and toaster. There were even treats for our lil pooch. We used the air beds we had taken to make sleeping more comfortable. The shower and toilet block were kept very clean. The owners were very helpful and no problem was too much trouble. The people in the other pods were very friendly too. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to try glamping. Sitting out under the stars with fairy lights around the pod gave it a magical touch. Really enjoyed are stay and everyone we met in Shropshire and Wales were very friendly.

We have recently come back from a lovely break at castle farm. We hired most of the pods and one of the cottages. It was perfect for our family group. Pods and facilities clean upon arrival and hosts were there if needed hut not intrusive. We used the field opposite to run our dog off the lead, which was a bonus for us. Would recommend and will be back.
