“Beautiful pod!”

We had a lovely stay at Callow pod, amazing views and a beautifully furnished pod. The only struggle we had was finding ways to dry towels etc, we could have a done with a drying wrack. Other than that the pod provided us with everything we needed to have a relaxing time away and switch off from the world. We explored the hills behind the pod with the dog and came back to enjoy the hot tub which was fab! Overall a fantastic place to unwind with beautiful surroundings, would definitely visit again!

- Adele, March 2024

Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback. I apologise for the lack of drying areas, the towel rail is pretty good but if you have alot to dry I can see it wouldn't be enough. We have now put in a clothes airer mounted on the wall for guest use so hopefully this helps. Thankyou for bringing it to our attention. Kind regards Angie Property Owner

“This was the forth time we have returned to sunrise pods.”

We love the location , properties and hosts. The quality of the pods are second to none. Every time we return there is a little extra like a cafatiere. All the little extras turn the pod from great to amazing. A warm welcome pace of home made brownies and fizz, a great way to start a break. We will be back next year .

- Dina, March 2024

Thankyou so so much for your continued support for our little business here. :) It means a lot when people continue to come back and we assume we're getting something right! All little extra touches are usually guest suggested if they've missed a little something so we thank you all for giving us the heads up for those little things... Very much look forward to seeing you again in the future. Many many thanks Angie. Property Owner

Georgia September 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at the Callow Pod this weekend, my children especially absolutely loved it.”

The amenities within the pod kitchen were that of home almost it’s so well thought through. We loved the surroundings, the stone circle walk, the style of the pod being so cosy. It’s been a joy to visit, well worth the money and we will 100% be booking to come back next year. Thank you for having us!

- Georgia, September 2023
Archie September 2023

“The place is amazing, nice large downstairs, if you are over 6,2ft then the upstairs might be a bit tight.”

The whole place was warm with the heating when needed and the hot tub was great with the different lights and jets. Great walks to the nearby stone circle and castles such as Powys castle are amazing and not far. We look forward to come back

- Archie, September 2023
Rebecca August 2023

“I stayed at Callow Pod with my two teenagers and dog.”

The pod was extremely well equipped and presented with the most beautiful finishing touches. I very much appreciated the attention to detail and how the space was used - the four of us were very comfortable. With walks from the doorstep offering incredible views, perfect privacy, security for our pup and warm cosy furnishings we could not have asked for more. The owners were beyond accommodating and helpful. As seasoned pod dwellers I can safely say this is the best so far. We will certainly be back and cannot recommend highly enough!

- Rebecca, August 2023
Alan August 2023

“Wonderful, all you could need.”

Great views over the countryside while lounging in the hot tub. So peaceful and relaxing. Certainly made use of all the space well. Quality accommodation, though a little limiting on height for my 6ft 4in son

- Alan, August 2023
Nathan August 2023

“An absolutely amazing stay here.”

Views are stunning, the pod is so clean and had everything we needed. If I could score higher, I would. An absolute hidden gem!

Victoria July 2023

“We had a wonderful stay in your adorable pod!”

Everything was perfect! You provided us with everything we needed and more! The views out the front were amazing, the walks behind the pod were enjoyed by us all, especially our dog. The hot tub was brilliant and perfect to relax in after a long trek. The pod was warm, cosy and clean and made for a super enjoyable stay. The brownies and Prosecco were such a lovely touch and put an extra layer of icing on an already perfect cake! Thank you. We will certainly look forward to a return visit.

Cameron June 2023

“We absolutely loved the pod, very comfortable and situated on a lovely site with fantastic views.”

We all loved the surrounding areas visiting Montgomery, Bishops Castle and Welshpool to name a few. My wife also went horse riding on nearby Long Mountain. We will definitely be back.

- Cameron, June 2023
Emma-jane June 2023

“What an amazing place to stay.”

..beautiful surroundings and blissful tranquillity. We will definitely be booking to stay again soon. I highly recommend stargazing while in the hot tub, and waking up early to enjoy the sunrise.

- Emma-jane, June 2023
Stephanie June 2023

“The property was spotless inside and out.”

Had everything we needed for a chilled girls weekend. The hot tub was perfect and well maintained. The owner popped by and was very friendly and helpful. All the pods were perfectly spaced out and arranged so you didn’t feel like you were on top of each other. The location is great for relaxing and walking. The garden was 100% secure, which was great with the dog. Would definitely return and recommend.

- Stephanie, June 2023

“Loved our stay!”

Caryn February 2023

“This is a new (opened late December 2022) quirky, comfortable, warm, well equipped and clean pod in a quiet location.”

It is a the last in line of 4 pods (the others are single story ones) and as it is at the end of the road no one has reason to come up to your pod. It is accessed up a well made farm track with very little around it and that makes for a lovely peaceful location. There is also very little light pollution in the immediate area so on a clear night you can see many stars, fantastic whilst sat in the hot tub. The owner was lovely and helpful on local things to do and left a well received welcome pack for us on arrival. The sunrise view through the front upstairs bedroom window (from the warmth and comfort of bed) across the valley on a clear sky morning was stunning. The hot tub was spotlessly clean and it was warm and ready to use immediately on arrival, it was also chemical checked by the owner daily. The walks directly from the pod on the hills behind it are endless and a fantastic benefit to have from the doorstep. The wifi at the pod was strong and stable and there is a good phone signal there too. The pod is not suitable to all due to the tight spiral staircase and the open plan and low ceiling bedrooms, but it was absolutely brilliant for us (2 adults and an 11 year old).

- Caryn, February 2023
Rozana February 2023

“We absolutely loved this pod.”

It is set off the beaten track with no traffic noise and absolutely stunning views. The pod was immaculate and had everything we needed, and the bed was super comfy (very low ceilings upstairs but we found them very fun!) On our last night we lay in the hot tub and looked at the stars which were very clear, it was brilliant. Local walks were brilliant, especially through the gate up to the stone circle. Our dog loved the space around the pod, there was plenty of space. Although there are 4 pods together, we didn't hear our neighbours once. We fully didn't want to leave!! Highly recommended.
