Jacob's Meadow Pod 2

We had a great stay overall.

The cottage was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed. The surrounding area was perfect for our dogs, with plenty of space where they could run freely and truly have the time of their lives. Just a short distance away there were also beautiful views over the hills, definitely worth visiting. A couple of small downsides were that the supermarkets were about a 30-minute drive away, and the mattresses were relatively firm. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend it.

Beautiful countryside location.

Secure off road parking. Warm and cosy, well equipped pod. The veranda and patio set were ideal for dining outside. Plenty of interesting places to visit within a short drive. Will definitely go again.

Great stay, beautiful location had leave a night early due to family emergency but overall enjoyed it.

Lovely place to stay.

Cosy with everything you need. Amazing view of the country.

What a wonderful place to stay, peaceful, quiet, and everything you could need.

It was brilliant to be able to let our little dog off the lead, and know she would be able to stay pretty close. She accidentally discovered she could swim! She was so excited, and loving the freedom, that she ran straight into the pond! The blankets and toys were a great touch too, as were the covers for the furniture. They were put on straight away, as ours is used to jumping up with us, as she's a nervous rescue. We'd brought our own covers anyway. Great shower, plus all cooking stuff and utensils you could need. Some reviews have said about a bottle of wine, it would have been nice, especially as it was my partner's birthday, but we couldn't find one. Like another person said too, we found the mattresses hard, however if you are aware, it can be worked around. Take care on the decking slope, as it can get a bit slippy. We should have packed wellies, as we had storm Claudia, and it rained most days! Didn't make any difference though - we were tucked up all cosy inside. Loved the little summerhouse, with a rocker amongst the chairs there. All in all, a lovely holiday, and exactly what we needed

Very nice place to stay in.

Very comfortable and had everything we needed including a great view outside. Perfect place to relax in away from the city

After having read previous reviews I would have least expected a pint of milk in the fridge so we could make a cup of tea after a five hour drive, there was nothing, not even a treat or bowl for the dog who we had to pay £25.

00 for, the bed was like laying on concrete, high level cobwebs ...... not impressed

We loved the Pod, the location was great, and we enjoyed our stay very much.

It was very well equipped with everything one could need for a short stay. The towels were adequate, but ought to be replaced. A couple of suggestions, the views are lovely, the hedge obscures some, and the oak tree on the left hand side (if one of the lower branches was removed the views across to the hills could be seen much better from the pod). As dog owners we like to leave everything clean and tidy, we found it impossible to remove all of our dog's fur from the black rug with the hoover, perhaps that should be changed for something easier to clean?

Just fantastic great place to stay

Excellent Property in a beautiful location.

Very comfortable pod set in a beautiful & tranquil garden.

Fully enclosed so great for the dog. Generally clean apart from high level cobwebs. Owners had included condiments, foil & clingfilm which was a nice touch - even a bottle of Procesco in the fridge on arrival. Great relaxing week - thank you

Amazing pod, Had everything we could have ever needed.

Very clean and comfortable. Nice little extras too for the dog and a bottle of wine for us. Our host Di was very helpful and friendly when we met her, lovely meadow for the dog to play in. Great to be able to sit out on the decking even in the rain due to the covered area and the barbecue is a great extra feature too . Would definitely return and highly recommend .

Lovely place to stay for a few days and would definitely stay there again.

The only observation I would make is that the evening we arrived it had rained and the temp dropped which turned the rain on the ramp and veranda to ice...it was quite treacherous...we managed ok but someone less steady on their feet could slip. Might be worth investing in a grit box of some kind? This is now way a complaint just an observation. It definitely wouldn't put me off staying again.

We had a beautiful peaceful week at Jacob's Meadow in Pod 2.

The self contained pod has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, even for your dogs - Bowls, a blanket and poo bags are provided. The outside decking has a lockable gate so if you take children or pets it is secure. The meadow has secure fencing and gates too, although there are two ponds within the meadow so best to supervise dogs and especially children. Advice is also given on this in the information pack in the welcome folder in the pod. The pod has warm heating and is comfortable with good appliances for cooking if you want to stay in and eat. Extra blankets are provided for comfort if you need them. The shower is spacious and warm. Linen provided is clean and comfortable. It is out in the sticks but we love this, we go there for a complete break. If you do want to keep up with the outside world the WiFi and signal are very good

We wanted a place with peace and quiet to get our dog away from fireworks.

This Pod delivered in spades! Beautiful location and perfect for our needs. We had everything we needed and enjoyed a lovely 4 days in the countryside. Would definitely consider booking again.

Perfect get away place, will definitely be coming again !

!! However, we have forgotten a couple of items of clothing and unfortunately do not have any contact information :)

We’ve just had the best 2 weeks in this pod!

This is the third time we’ve stayed (once in Pod 1) and love it every time! If you want a peaceful, relaxing break you really can’t beat Jacobs Meadow. The pods have everything you could ever need and more and the owners are lovely. We can’t wait to return!

Loved our stay at Jacobs Meadow,facilities were good but getting up and down ladders during the night was a bit of a faf, clean and tidy and everything you need for a comfy stay,my 2 dogs loved the outside area and the walks in the local area were spectacular.

All in all very pleasant break away from the rat race.

Thank you for having us again!

We had another wonderful stay at Jacob's Meadow and as usual sad to leave at the end of it! We cannot fault the property or the location and cannot wait to return.

Wonderful little lodge, great location.

Cosy and quiet, great for getting away from the everyday. Only thing that let's it down a slight bit is the bed mattress was a little to hard, but nothing that can be overcome by a mattress topper. Would definitely come back.

This has to be one of the best places we have stayed for peace and quiet.

There is another pod, however this was vacant during our week so we had the place all to ourselves. Having said that we think it will still have been relaxing should the other pod have been used. We have stayed in a similar pod elsewhere so knew it would be nice. The advantage to this pod being provately owned is that is was epuipt with EVERYTHING you would need and more. Diane has thought of everything. My husband and two german shepherds didnt leave the site at all. The dogos loved the space outside, being nice and secure just off the quiet road allowed us to relax with being concerned about them wandering out. (Not that they would but easing nonetheless) There are plenty of walks and places to visit should you so choose, great place for singles, couples and families alike. We were lucky with the weather as a whole and got to use the gas fuelled BBQ. Makes such a change to having to source coal etc when staying somewhere, so this was great. A big bonus for us is that the location is only an hour and a half from home yet. This is truely a little gem and we will definately be back .

This is a very well equipped, comfortable and dog friendly property.

I loved the covered veranda on the front, great for eating outside or just sitting and listening to the quietness.

Pod2 provided a great base, with everything we and our dog needed.

Very peaceful, beautiful setting, good walking opportunities. Really enjoyed our stay

Thank you for providing this wonderful holiday spot, the clean, beautiful pod and the peaceful, safe garden, perfect for families!

Steping out on the porch and never getting bored of the view, listening to the sound of the brook, the soft grass under our feet, feeling so safe and private in this "corner of heaven". We totally recommend this place.

Lovely pod in quiet, and peaceful location.

Clean, well equipped and an excellent base to explore the Shropshire Hills.

What an absolute gem.

Coupled with long awaited settled weather, We had a very comfortable stay at Jacobs meadow pod 2. Amazed at how in such a compact space there was everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the veranda space and sitting out in the mornings eating breakfast watching red kites and hearing the cuckoo and curlews. Cozy settees for watching TV in the evening. Very good beds to sleep in. We had an issue with Tesco delivery driver not locating us so had to find a shop. A pint of milk for a hot drink left at the pod would have been nice for this eventuality. We had the electric trip out on us but it was quickly sorted once we found the electric box. A bit more instruction as to where to find the electric box and what the levers are might be helpful. We had no mobile phone signal for making calls to chase our shopping or to ring the owner. But we managed. Only small things. We would definitely return in a heartbeat. Thank you .

We had a lovely relaxed stay in Pod 2 in this beautiful setting.

Mixed weather but it didn’t matter. Time to unwind and listen to the birds. Hosts are extremely sociable and welcoming. Even a nice chilled bottle of wine waiting for us. We will definitely go again. Our dogs loved the freedom of running free round the field. And jumping in the pond and stream. Thank you for a delightful week

Lovely property and great area, there was a few issues with cleanliness with a few cobwebs in high places, dead flys on side and strangely a long hair in the toaster, didn’t put us off though as everything else was amazing and would definitely return

Our new home away from home.

...this was our 3rd visit to Jacob's Meadow in a year and it didn't disappoint. We feel so at home here now and my dogs loved the beautiful garden too. Thank you for having us again...we will be back soon, Sacha, Dan and the pups.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Pod 2 Jacobs Meadow.

The pod was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. We had a very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing few days. The owners were welcoming and attended to an issue with the gas immediately, meaning we were not inconvenienced in anyway. Thank you. We will most definitely be visiting again.

A lovely pod in a peaceful surrounding.

.. very well maintained by a very friendly owner. We will definitely stay again...

Our second visit to Pod 2 and just as wonderful.

...so much so that we've booked to go back in April! I think that says it all :)

What a wonderful and relaxing place to stay.

The pod was very well equipped and so cosy. The weather wasn't the best, but we still had a great time and dogs loved watching the little birds, pheasant and the squirrels in the garden. The only thing missing was a hot tub, but that is a personal preference. Many thanks to the owners xx

Lovely pod and very clean.

Due to the weather I would suggest some salt for the stairs up and path but otherwise an amazing stay.

Had a lovely stay in pod 2.

I actually forgot to write in the welcome booklet how great our stay was. Shame about the awful weather but this did not ruin our stay. Location was fantastic and definitely would like to stay again but in warmer months.

Absolutely spotless!

! The plug in nightlight is a great touch as my Mum has poor eyesight. We did not understand what the raised bed really meant. My Mum was unable to get on and off safely and had to sleep in the lounge. She had no problem with this but the curtains were not blackout. So she didn't sleep as well. There was very little cupboard space for food so we had to leave most of it outside. The folding table was genius!! A motion sensor light could do with being installed by the gate as going to the car in the dark was quite dangerous. Now this sounds like we were unhappy, the absolute opposite and we can't wait to return!! What a perfect spot for a quiet getaway!! Hearing the running water from the Brook was lovely!! The heating was amazing! Certainly didn't take long to warm up!! As no drafts anywhere which was perfect!! Oh and no spiders!! Lol...bathroom was fabulous, I could absolutely live in one!! Thankyou

Lovely few days spent at Jacobs Meadow.

Tranquil location very clean and warm pod. Comfy beds and a nice hot shower. Great location for walking. Will definitely be back

The pod was comfortable.

The meadow was very peaceful and lots of thought had gone into its layout. The bird feeders in sight of the pod were lovely, as they attracted so many birds. The furniture was very comfortable. The verandah was marvellous, and we enjoying sitting out even when it was so hot, as we were protected from the sun. Our only suggestion is that the address to the pod includes White Grit. We travelled over 200 miles from West Sussex, and did not come via Shrewsbury. We had great difficulty finding it. Fortunatly, a local lady in one of the villages was able to direct us based on the tin church landmark. We did research the location before we left home and assumed the address given would enable us to find the location easily. The signal on our phones did not work in the local roads. We did have an ordnance survey map and would have been able to locate the pod easily if this information had been provided. This part of the world was entirely new to us. It was not the best way to start our holiday.

We had a lovely holiday.

The ideal place to take family and our dog. A peaceful place and the ideal to have a few days off and rest. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

It was a perfect base for us.

It was so peaceful and relaxing with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Fantastic walks. The pod was perfect and had everything that you could want and more with a welcome bottle of wine and treat basket for our dog, fantastic touch. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog who loved it. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The best equipped kitchen I have ever had in a self-catering holiday.

Appliances all easy to use and instructions available if necessary. Comfortable, firm beds. The shower and bbq are excellent. Enough room for 3 humans and two medium dogs so we didn't trip over each other during our week on site. Loved the porch area and its view and appreciated the quiet of the locale. The Pod 2 guide has great suggestions of things to do and places to visit within a short drive. Highly recommend the Co-op in Church Stoke/Yr Ystog for provisions.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, location is beautiful and the place is very clean

Lovely pod, great location.

Best equipped kitchen in a self-catering cottage EVER!

!! We hugely enjoyed noticing all the clever layout features to fit everything into a ‘pod’ - everything had its place and EVERYTHING was there! We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much.

The pod was comfortable, clean and in a lovely location….

very secluded and quiet….we really enjoyed having coffee on the verandah, looking out into the garden with its little lake and wonderful huge oak tree, listening to all the birds, including the cuckoo !…..and a few quick glimpses of a couple of hares…. We had a very warm welcome from our hostess, who gave us some tips on great places to visit, of which there are many ! I would recommend staying in this pod…it’s a peaceful and relaxing hideaway !

We have just returned from a lovely weekend break at Jacob's meadow and would have loved to have stayed longer.

Totally as described on the website and a fantastic base for some beautiful walks straight out of the door. Have already recommended to friends and family and look forward to staying again. Thank you again!

What a gem of a find, we absolutely loved our stay at Jacob's Meadow!

Beautiful property in an equally beautiful setting, our dogs enjoyed the garden too. We will definitely be returning, thank you so much. Sacha, Dan and the Pups xxx

Just back from a 4 night stay between Christmas and New Year staying in Pod 2.

Arrived on Monday (Boxing Day) to a welcome pack of a luxury hamper including pate, crackers, jam, Christmas crackers and a bottle of Prosecco thank you! Access was easy via the key box located outside by the bbq and the pod was immaculately clean and tidy and decorated to a modern high standard. Listed to sleep 6 but a small family of four would realistically be the max especially in winter when confined more to the pod which is well designed to maximise the space. Everything we needed was to hand along with basic necessities such as tea, coffee, sugar and condiments etc. one slight gripe is that my wife found the mattress quite hard although I found it ok. We had two small dogs with us and found everything more than adequate for our stay as we spent much of our time out walking and taking in the stunning scenery close to the accommodation. There is another small pod next door and a cottage close by at the end of the drive but otherwise is quiet other than the occasional barking from the dogs up the road. The other pod was not occupied for most of our stay. Word of warning that this accommodation is fairly remote with the nearest supermarket (COOP) 6 miles away and although the pub is within walking distance it is a 15:1 hill down and 17:1 coming back up. All in all a pleasant stay and would highly recommend.

Beautiful location very peaceful.

Fantastic holiday

We had a wonderful stay at Jacob's Meadow - the pod was beautifully clean and so comfortable.

Our views were stunning, and my son (a nature-mad 9 year old) was in heaven! The bird feeders kept us entertained with at least 11 different species visiting... the small pond was so relaxing to sit by... the local walks were gorgeous (and red kites circled above almost constantly). Wildlife fans will all adore this location - ten out of ten in every aspect. Also must mention that when I couldn't figure out the hot water for the shower, the owner was there to help in no time at all (but we had all the privacy and peace we wanted throughout our stay, with zero interference) Truly a brilliant place to holiday... will return!!!

Had a lovely week at this lodge weather was great our wee girl loved the pond she also liked the sheep thank you so much will definitely book again thanks

Perfect location and accommodation and facilities for a peaceful break away from every day life.

The owner, who I only saw on arrival was lovely and let me know where she was if I needed anything, that’s how it should be… Thankyou for a lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jacob’s Meadow Pod 2.

The accommodations was very spacious, clean and practical. There was plenty of space for us with our 5 month old daughter. We were very happy with the accommodations and would definitely recommend.

It's beautiful, the pod is faultless.

The kitchen is very well equipped and all the basics are provided for the guests, tea, coffee, sugar, basic cooking ingredients. Such a great place to relax and incredibly peaceful. Excellent

Thought of everything Beds very comfortable Good quality bedding Great surroundings Helpful owners Thought of the dogs Clean Quiet Peaceful Lots of recommendations in the folder We loved it and will all be back!

Great stay at jacobs meadow.

Fantastic accomodation in a peaceful location. Highly recommended.

Pod is excellent, has everything you could want for a great stay, the owners have made a first rate job of providing fantastic accommodation and surroundings.

What a fantastic place!

We hired both pods to have a joint family holiday. The owners were great and checked up on us as they passed by. There was everything we needed to make it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We will definitely consider a return visit. Lovely walks to do with the children and our dog. WIFI great too! Just an amazing place to escape too. Thank you for a great stay.

★☆★Highly recommend ★☆★ We stayed for 4night for new year.

Pod2 is very clean and comfortable and Good size for family. Shower is good pressure, you have everything you need for kitchen, good WiFi. And we did not expect to have Christmas tree and decoration in the pod so that was very surprised and my son was very happy. I definitely will comeback to stay again!!

Excellent accommodation, highly recommended.

The perfect location to escape to. Peaceful & relaxing & very quiet. We loved it! Many thanks & best wishes

Superb accommodation, fantastic hosts, fabulous location-would highly recommend

We had a weeks holiday at Jacobs meadow,Pod no.

2 in September 2021.This pod has plenty of space, not as compact like some, it is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable self catering holiday. With the property being on the England -Welsh border there are plenty of places to visit in the area, there are also walks straight from the door. Alan and Diane are great hosts, just a phone call away if you need them. Alan&Joan Stokes.

This self catering pod had everything you needed for a more than comfortable stay.

It is very well equipped with everything for cooking if you choose to stay in. Well equipped with utensils, glasses, dishes, ovenwear etc. Good quality towels and bed linen were provided. The appliances work well in the Pod and the shower is excellent with good pressure and temperature. Everything is clean and comfortable. In a very quiet location so you would need a car if you plan to explore, otherwise comfortable to sit around in and enjoy the sounds of peace, quiet and nature. I would not hesitate to recommend this pod. Very clever use of space and very well planned and nicely decorated. Owners very friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful pod.

Fantastic use of space. Excellent shower, comfortable beds, superb WiFi. Great location for walking and lovely market towns.

What an amazing holiday!

Jacobs Meadow is a beautiful place to stay and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Pod 2 is very comfortable, fully equipped and was perfect for our family of 5. The location the pod sits in is idyllic and is a perfect place to relax and unwind. The owner was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. If you are looking for a great holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK look no further!
