Is Gander Pod Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This accommodation is primarily designed for couples rather than families. The studio-style layout with just one double bed doesn't provide separate sleeping areas for children. The working farm setting and fishing lake also present safety considerations for young visitors. Better options exist for family holidays with proper space and facilities for kids.
For Couples
Gander Pod offers couples a perfect romantic escape. The private hot tub under starry skies creates magical evenings. The studio layout keeps you close, while the secluded setting ensures privacy. Watch wildlife together from your decking or walk to the local pub for dinner. The peaceful surroundings and cosy accommodation make this ideal for reconnecting.
Pet Friendly
Gander Pod welcomes two well-behaved dogs from January 2023. The countryside location offers immediate walking opportunities. The local pub (1 mile away) is extremely dog-friendly according to reviews. The decking area isn't enclosed, but the rural setting provides plenty of space. The working farm location means keeping dogs under control around livestock.

Gander Pod Reviews

A perfect little get away. The gander pod was very clean and well maintained. Hot tub and decking were impeccable and would definitely go again. Just generally a very peaceful place to stay. Would highly recommend!!
Tranquil.. peaceful ..hot tub was lovely and used every day..nice touches with washing up liquid etc..pathway to pod a bit muddy and oven seal needs looking at.. but overall a very pleasant stay and a lovely pod.pretty lucky with the weather..ideal place for relaxation..loved the geese in the lake.
Caroline
The Gander Pod is compact but perfect for a couple even with a medium dog crate to be fitted in we tucked it at end of sofa so was nicely out of the way. The location is fab, easy to get to, down a dip so feels beautifully remote and you get fabulous starry skies on cloudless nights perfect to enjoy in the hot tub. Pub is easy walk away and does good food. Worth knowing if you stay in pods then cannot drive right up to door, but trolleys were in parking area and only a short stroll on decent path. We had a lovely weekend and happily recommend staying here to others.
We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and beautiful surroundings. The pub in the village was very extremely dog friendly and very welcoming. The pod was warm and has everything you need! I would just like to make the owners aware that when the shower is on water seems to get over the top of the shower screen and made the back of the toilet wet which made all the towels wet. I couldnt work out where it was coming from though. We ended up with a little puddle on the floor too.
We really enjoyed our stay, very relaxing. It had everything we needed and will be back. Suggestions from us to make it even better is a little freezer, coat hooks and a clothes horse. Just to let you know the bottle opener is broken.
Very beautiful place, quiet and the views are lovely. The only thing that puts me off abit is how the farmers dogs can just roam free near our lodges, I was walking my dog and the farmers dog came running at us, stopped then went back to its farmhouse. I was unsure if it was friendly or not. But other then that its a nice place for a short get away.

We had a lovely holiday! So peaceful with lovely views. Great fishing trip for my boyfriend and great time relaxing in the hot tub for me. We were so impressed with the Pod and facilities provided, we werent expecting the little things like washing up liquid, toilet roll, tea and coffee etc but was great that it was all provided. So peaceful and quiet, only the sound of the sheep to wake you up in the morning. Would definitely recommend and will be returning thank you
Lovely place to stay. Very quiet and secluded. Very clean and organised. Pod had everything we needed and the hot tub was perfect. Maybe add some information about the area, Shops, pubs, places to walk etc. Would definitely return.
Such a lovely little place and very safe for Dogs as each pod is gated with fences, The pod was spotlessly clean
Richard
It was clean and tidy would come back again
Pebbles
We had the most amazing stay ! The owners are so helpful and kind and make you feel so welcome. The property has everything you would need and is so well kept, they really have thought of everything !! We will definitely be returning with our friends to try one of the bigger lodges
This is our second time staying here because we liked it that much
Indiana
Driving down to the property was just amazing
Thankyou for a lovely weekend. Our little pod was amazing, so comfortable, peaceful and clean. You guys have done amazing job. This was our first weekend away together and defiantly would do it again. The walk to the local pub, The Lion was so easy. We would luv to recommend the pub as well for food and friendliness, the staff couldn't of done any more. We felt so welcomed. Thankyou again Salford Court Farm, Kelly and Mark.
Stayed here for 3 nights for a long relaxing weekend and it was perfect! The pod was so warm and cosy and really clean on arrival! It has everything you need. The hot tub was also clean and warm on arrival. Thank you for a lovely stay and we will definitely be back!
We had a lovely 3 night stay. Pod was warm and clean upon arrival as was the hot tub. We had great fun carp fishing off the deck and managed to catch 4 carp between the 2 of us. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning
This pod looked nice at first. Me and my gf was excited when we first arrived, but as time folded we realised it was a disaster!! Would not recommend at all if youre taking pets then kennel shown is not suitable at all as when we got there the kennel was dirty and full of water. I messaged the owners asking if I can bring my vehicle down to the pod as I had a suitable cage that would of been very suitable. But the response I got was not good at all. I was told the kennel is only there to house the dog for a quick break 1 this isnt mentioned in the description, and 2 I wouldnt even house them in there for 10 mins I was told the dog is allowed to sleep in the pod. Which I clearly didnt want with the pod being that small so I responded with the size of my dog, and again they laughed it off responding people normally take two in the pod which I find BS as its very small and because of this we left the pod the same day, not helpful at all, and misleading on the ads regarding the kennel, as if I knew the kennel was made for just a pit stop I wouldnt of book!! Absolutely waste of money. People with pets I would strongly recommend going elsewhere
The most relaxing weekend away Ive ever had
Steven
Lovely little cabin dogs friendly with kennel got left alone didnt see another person the whole time we was there
Michael
Absolutely perfect if you just want to escape from everything. We had a lovely two night stay in the Pod watching the sun set in the evening and watching it rise in the morning over beautiful countryside. The Pod is basic as you would expect but with a good shower. There's a TV and Wifi if you need and the TV had external speakers for good sound and radio. The kitchen facilities were adequate but perhaps could have done with a grid for the grill. The hot tub was excellent and on when we arrived ready to use. The trolley for your luggage was a great touch. There are some beautiful walks around the area and the local village has a lovely little pub. Would definitely recommend.
Everything was perfect! From how peaceful it was to how lovely it was being able to fish such a lovely place with great comfort. Only thing that would be nice is if there was more information on the fishing, but Rob was very helpful once Id contacted him about it.
Brandan
My Gf and I enjoyed a perfect 1st year anniversary here at this pod. We had a blast and I would highly recommend this for a couple thats looking for some privacy to just enjoy each others company. The pod itself and the surrounding areas are not only picturesque but very well maintained I was very surprised by how clean the pod was. The Hot Tub was perfect and clean and is emptied after each visit, it was also preheated and ready to be used on arrival so make sure you have your bubbly of choice in hand the second you get out the car D. A tip for those with heavy luggage there are little carts in the carpark to help wheel your luggage to the pod I would recommend using it as the pod is around a 12 minute walk from the carpark. The only little bit of criticism I have is the postcode provided unless I entered it in wrong on google maps took me to the centre of CliftonUponTeme and not the location of the farm this is the address we used to find our way there,Yeomans J E & Son, Worcester WR6 6EW, In case anyone gets a little lost in the dark like we did. I would like to thank the owners for providing us a lovely break from busy London.
Fantastic stay, hottub was brilliant and the pod was exceptionally clean, warm and cosy. Fishing was also great and the one carp I caught was in brilliant condition Mirror 15 12 lb. The only advise I caught give is it might be beneficial for the wivesgirlfriend to know whether there's a hair dryer supplied. Teacoffee was all there but you must supply everything else, which is absolutely fine. Just handy to know. Would also be nice to know what size the fish go to as it's not stated anywhere obvious. The stay was exceptional, would definitely go back.
Absolutely perfect, I needed a recharge & this was both relaxing & cozy! Somewhere away from everyday life, that felt safe, with beautiful views, a peaceful place to read a good book & the hot tub was just what I needed. Pod was spotlessly clean & didnt feel small, it was very homely & functional, catered for everything I needed. So dog friendly too which was wonderful for my four legged little friend. Would thoughtfully recommend & already have! I will be returning
Stayed in something similar this time last year and this stay was miles above. Beautiful area, clean and just very good all round. Would definitely stay here again.

First time staying in glamping pod so didn't know what to expect. The Gander pod was way better than what we expected. Clean tidy everything you needed to hand. Outside facilities were excellent and views outstanding. Everything you need and more either for a short stay or a weeks break. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend.
Brandon
Lovely place and peaceful stay for the weekend. Would highly recommend the place and would come back definitely. Only down fall is the fridge it wouldnt get down to a cold temperature, but everything else was perfect.
Me and my partner had a lovely stay in this pod, the views were amazing and it was so peaceful. The hot tub was clean and there was plenty of appliances to cook your own food. The walks were incredible, with a pub a 20min walk away.
Inderpreet Kaur
We spent 3 lovely night in the Gander Pod and what a lovely experience and time away from our busy lives. We had our puppy with us so the gated enclosure what ideal. The hot tub was a perfect extra! Everything was great! Would definitely come back with more family! Lovely experience
Vasile
We are very grateful and thankful, the owners deserve a big thank you for making this corner of heaven. The best holiday ever.
Lauren
Such a lovely place, perfect for a peaceful getaway with the hot tub and brilliant view from the pod. We enjoyed staying at the gander pod so much and would love to return. Perfect location with only a 20 min drive into shops.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Such a beautiful place and so relaxing. We stayed in the wrong pod the first night and didn't know this intill owner came to look at hot tub and told us we apologised and said we didnt even notice and was convinced it was the right pod he was very understanding and very friendly and laughed about it.. Once we was in the correct pod they stay was fantastic we went there for my wife's birthday and really just relaxed and enjoyed the surroundings with our fur baby who also loved it there. They mentioned in there hand book for some advice in improving the stay. We suggest maybe a more Comfortable mattress like memory foam one rather than a spring one. And maybe be allowed to park our car down at the pods as there would have been enough space for one car. The footpath gate was also locked so couldn't walk the dog there. Other than that it was a lovely stay and we will defp be back again but this time in one of there cabins.
Lovely little place to stay with everything you could need! Nice and open with plenty of privacy, we had a lovely relaxing few days away. Also a lovely little friendly pub just down the road, would definitely stay again!
Vasile
