About The Lookout

The Lookout is a stylish wooden glamping pod set on a working farm in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape near Craven Arms. South-facing with uninterrupted views across the hills, this is a proper countryside escape for two. Sheep and cattle graze just beyond the private veranda and on clear nights the skies are packed with stars.

The Shropshire Hills National Landscape surrounds you here. Walking, castle-hopping and market town exploring are all on the doorstep. The landscape is open and quiet with long views in every direction.

Inside the pod you get a light open-plan living space with a comfortable sofa and Smart TV. The galley-style kitchen has a double induction hob, combination microwave/oven and fridge with ice-cube compartment. There's one plush double bedroom downstairs plus a wet room with shower and WC. Outside a private hot tub for five sits on the decking alongside a table, chairs and loungers. Off-road parking for two cars is included.

Hopton Castle ruins are 3 miles away. Stokesay Castle, one of England's best-preserved fortified manor houses, is 6 miles (10 mins). Ludlow Castle sits 13 miles away (20 mins). Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site is 28 miles (35 mins).

The Lookout suits couples and solo travellers who want real countryside without roughing it. Hot tub, star-filled skies and hill views book it.
