Tucked against the Welsh border, these cosy pods are perfectly positioned to explore Shropshire's rolling hills, castles and attractive villages

A network of rural, single track roads lead you to the four pods at Castle Farm Holidays. Sheep and cattle dot the surrounding fields and, in the nearby sleepy hamlet of Dudleston the tower of a stony 12th-century church stands tall among the surroundings. It’s a wonderfully rural scene. For those seeking a little silence and a space to hideaway, these country lanes are bound for the right destination.

Set at one end of a rectangular field, next to a small, wooded dell with a stream running through it, Castle Farm’s pods aim to offer a year-round alternative to camping. Inside, the insulated pods feature cushioned benches that can be converted into beds and a small kitchenette area with a microwave, kettle and fridge. You still have to bring your own bedding and the modern shower block is just a short stroll away, but for those who really want to minimize the packing, the ‘Willow’ pod offers a more luxurious package – it has a proper bed, separate sofa and a hot tub outside.

Outside, the dell attracts fledgling birds and wildlife, while the open space of the meadow leaves ample room for families. Bring a ball or a kite to make the most of all the space. For many, though, the rural location is best for walking and it’s just a matter of metres to the nearest footpath. The Welsh border, two miles away, is marked by the curling River Dee, its valley a wonder to explore, while driving a little further towards the Berwyn Mountains provides access to the Offa’s Dyke path, and Wales highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr.

And if all the walking wears you out, then kicking back at Castle Farm Holidays is sure to help you recover. It's made all the better by the fridge in every pod – the perfect place to store your evening sundowner.

Nearby attractions
The small, lakeside, market town of Ellesmere is a 10-minute drive away (5 miles). You can hire rowing boats and paddle out on the beautiful mere (lake) and there are 8 further meres nearby, most of which can be walked around on marked footpaths. Hop on board a steam train (01978 860979) in nearby Llangollen (12 miles) – on occasion Thomas the Tank Engine even visits – but stop en route to snap a photo of impressive Pontcysyllte Aqueduct spanning across the River Dee just south of Cefn-mawr. It's 7½ miles to National Trust-owned Chirk Castle (01691 777701), a Medieval bulwark with grand 18th-century state apartments, suits of armour and manicured gardens to explore. One final 'must visit' is Pistyll Rhaeadr (01691 780392), and enchanting waterfall in the Berwyn Mountains and the highest waterfall in Wales. You can walk to the top, then have a well deserved rest in the café at the foot of the falls on your return.
Food and drink
It's 2 miles to the nearest pub, The Greyhound (01691 774307), a popular country local that's been in the same family ownership since 1995. For groceries, Stans Superstore (01691 772348) in St Martin's is the closest, 3 mils away.
