Adults-only glamping near Market Drayton in rural Shropshire
Five minutes’ drive to the Shropshire Union Canal and Joule’s Brewery
Stylish pods and welcome packs; shops and pubs five minutes’ drive

Adults-only glamping pods. Stylish open-plan living and sleeping areas. A peaceful location in Shropshire countryside. Yes, it’s three big thumbs up for Orchard Cottage Rural Retreats at Pell Wall, a five-minute drive from Market Drayton. So what can you expect at the pods? A welcome pack full of local goodies for starters, plus a comfy sofa bed, TV, dining area and a natty kitchenette with all mod cons – including that all-important coffee machine for a morning caffeine blast. And somehow in these clever Tardis-like spaces, they’ve found space for a double bed and a fully-equipped shower room. Outside each pod, there’s a sheltered deck and a small seating area with views over the site to farm fields. Any canine companions (please note – only one pod is dog-friendly) can have zoomie sessions in the secure dog exercise area next door (charges apply), and there are scenic walks right on the doorstep. You certainly won’t have to worry about the car when you’re heading out for the night either, as there’s a cracking local pub right at the end of the campsite’s private drive.

The Laurels camping pod (no pets)

Liked: An absolutely fabulous time in The Laurels pod. Yvonne was brilliant with her communication beforehand and came and said hello whilst we were there and to check we were having a lovely time.

The pod was exceptionally clean and warm with all mod cons and there is nothing to fault! The bed was so comfortable and I will miss it! A wonderful welcome basket and printout of local walks was left for us too.

We very much look forward to staying again but hopefully without a named storm this time!! The weather was not kind!

Thank you Yvonne for a wonderful stay!

Local attractions

Like the sound of romantic waterside walks? Stroll the Shropshire Union Canal towpath past colourful narrowboats or have a potter along the River Tern (both from Market Drayton, five minutes’ drive) and keep an eye out for otters and kingfishers along the banks. There are lovely lakeside walks at Hodnet Hall Gardens (especially pretty when the trees turn gold in autumn), and colourful laburnum tunnels and waterfalls to discover at The Dorothy Clive Garden (both 15 minutes). If you’d rather be out and about on two wheels, there are several looped rides from Market Drayton taking in Shropshire churches, pubs and viewpoints, all along quiet country lanes. Back in Market Drayton, you can tour the manufacturing process and taste the ales at the famous Joule’s Brewery – and don’t forget that the town is the ‘Home of Gingerbread’ – pick some up as tasty souvenirs from local bakeries. If this inspires you to sample the best of Shropshire produce, buy some locally sourced chutneys, honeys and preserves at Fordhall Organic Farm (10 minutes).
