Louise Williams24/02/2024Had the pleasure of enjoying 2 nights in the summer house. The summer house and the area is stunning, beautiful and a perfect place to switch off and relax! Bob and Lisa are very friendly and welcoming 😀 can’t wait to go back!Lewis Steele12/11/2023An absolute fabulous nights stay in the geo dome, for me and my other half’s anniversary. A lovely peaceful setting with a very friendly welcome. I was amazed at the size of the space and the decor inside the geo dome… the log burner being a brilliant touch. It’s fair to say we will be back at some point in the near future.Inah Valid16/10/2023We stayed at the Summer House for my mums birthday, and it was the perfect way to celebrate such occasion! Bob and Lisa were so helpful! From check-in to check out, they were there every step of the way. The place was a little gem, with beautiful views of the lake (extra beautiful in the morning while you're enjoying a cup of coffee). They also provided us with recommendations around the area which was so helpful. They made our stay enjoyable. Thank you so much for the experience Bob and Lisa! We will be back soon.Amanda McVay09/10/2023I booked a last minute weekend away with my mom, it was such a beautiful place. Lovely to look out in the morning and feel so relaxed. We didn’t have great phone signal but to be honest it was so nice to have a break from the phones and switch off. Everyone was very welcoming and was on site if we needed anything. Highly recommend! AmandaSarah Grace06/10/2023My husband and I, along with our labrador, spent Monday to Friday in the Summer House in September. We were warmly met by Lisa and shown the facilities. The summer house is wonderfully positioned on the lake side. The accommodation was immaculately clean, warm, cosy and in good working order. All the equipment and furnishings were to a very high standard. I was able to walk the dog each morning for 30-40 minutes within the boundaries of the farm and woodland. This location is impressive, very quiet and relaxing. It is ideal for dogs as both Rob and Lisa have dogs themselves and welcomed our 4 legged friend. We were able to watch the bird wildlife from the comfort of the verandah but missed the otter by a few minutes. The fire pit was well used and the night sky and stars were wonderful. Lisa also gave us comprehensive information on local walks,pubs, gardens, farm shops and other local points of all. We plan to return to the Summer house in the spring.kadriye açıl01/10/2023It was a great weekend in the Lake House. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. They tried to help on every matter throughout our stay. We enjoyed every moment with nature. The house was comfortable. Definitely recommend.Aaron Clarke13/09/2023My partner and I stayed at the cabin on the lake for a long weekend and loved it. The place was a quiet little paradise. There are four properties around the like on the site but the other guests were very nice and respectful. We were able to rest up and relax with a stunning view of the lake regardless of if it was sunny or raining. Lighting some candles in the evening gave the place a really cost and romantic feeling. If you are lucky enough to stay on a clear night, you will get an amazing view of the night sky as there is little to no light pollution. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, would definitely consider coming to stay again.Clare Lynch05/09/2023The most tranquil and peaceful place ever! We've just got back from 3 nights here staying in the beautiful summerhouse, it was the most relaxing break we've ever had 😊 the summerhouse has all the facilities you will need and the lake it looks out to is stunning. If you are looking for a relaxing break away from the busyness of day to day life then this is the place for you!Claire Evans29/08/2023Just returned from a two night break with family / friends and WOW what a place!!! From the moment you arrive you are warmly welcomed by Bob and Lisa who are on hand day or night to help you throughout your stay. The location itself is located in a very secluded area providing you with a tranquil, calm and relaxing environment. Our family of 4 stayed in the summer house which is located overlooking the large pond. This accommodation is absolutely beautifully furnished to a very high with an exceptional eye for detail. The main bedroom overlooked out onto the pond which was a lovely view to wake up to as your having your morning cup of coffee. The king size bed was very comfortable with sumptuous bedding. The sofa in the living area turned into a double bed providing an excellent sleeping space for our two children. The bathroom had a walk in shower and the decor and accessories were to a high end finish. The outside area comprised of deck / seating area surrounding the summerhouse with a barbecue, fire pit (logs, sticks and lighters provided) ideal for entertaining. Our other family members occupied two other pods located around the pond and again were individually equipped beautifully to the exceptional high standard of ours. Overall we had an amazing stay and can’t wait to return later in the year. If you are looking for an exclusive, tranquil, relaxing break that provides an exceptional high standard accommodation then this is the place for you!! Highly, highly recommend a visit to this gem of a place!! Thanks Bob and Lisa for your hospitality.Gary Jones20/08/2023Beautiful setting for a relaxing weekend with a pooch. Thoughtfully laid out and provisioned by Bob and Lisa. The summer house is lovely, and we got a glimpse of the Shepherds huts and the dome while we were there which are all equally beautiful. Set in 20 acres and 10 mins drive from the nearest town, Shropshire Glamping is enticingly rural. BBQ and Fire pit provided for a beautiful evening dining by the lake. Highly recommended and would love to visit again ❤️

FAQs
Is glamping more expensive than camping?
Yes, generally speaking, glamping (glamorous camping) is more expensive than traditional camping. Glamping typically involves more luxurious accommodations than traditional camping, such as pre-furnished tents, glamping pods, yurts, or cabins with comfortable beds, electricity, and sometimes even your own private hot tub.
The cost of glamping can vary depending on the level of luxury and amenities provided, as well as the location and time of year. In many cases, glamping can be several times more expensive than traditional camping, especially if you opt for high-end glamping experiences.
In contrast to camping pods, traditional camping usually involves setting up your own tent or camper and using public restroom facilities, and can be significantly cheaper, particularly if you are willing to camp at a more basic campsite.
Ultimately, the cost difference between glamping and traditional camping comes down to the level of comfort and luxury you are willing to pay for.
What is the most popular glamping accommodation?
Camping pods come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, depending on the location, budget, and preferences of the guests. Some of the most common types of glamping pods include:
Wooden cabins: These are the most traditional and popular type of glamping pod, often made of wood and featuring modern amenities such as electricity, heating, a single or double bed and even Wi-Fi.
Yurts: These are circular tents made of wood or canvas and inspired by traditional Mongolian dwellings. Yurts can be quite spacious and can be equipped with a range of amenities, including comfortable beds and wood-burning stoves.
Geodesic domes: These are spherical structures made of metal or fiberglass and typically feature large windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Geodesic domes can be furnished with comfortable beds, seating areas, and even full bathrooms.
Treehouses: These are elevated wooden structures that are often built around a tree trunk or branches. Treehouses can range from simple rustic cabins to luxurious multi-level accommodations with stunning views.
Safari tents: These are large canvas tents that are often found in nature reserves and wildlife parks. A safari tent is usually furnished with comfortable beds and furniture and may include private bathrooms and outdoor showers.
Shepherd's Huts: These are small, mobile homes that are often used for glamping. Shepherds huts can be equipped with a range of amenities, including kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping lofts.
