The Pod - Riverside Retreat

Get away from it all at this peaceful and private retreat − perfect for a couple who love the natural world. This enticing bespoke pod is just a few steps from the sights and sounds of the river, yet less than a mile from picturesque Upton upon Severn. The bustling market town is renowned for its charming black-and-white buildings and has a great selection of independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs. Take a scenic boat trip along the river and visit the landmark Pepperpot Heritage Centre, housed in the remains of a 13th-century church. The glorious Malvern Hills, a magnet for walkers with far-reaching views across Wales, are within easy reach. Elegant Great Malvern (7 miles) is a Victorian spa town packed with galleries, bookshops and theatres, while the magnificent gardens at Little Malvern Court House (6 miles) are a must-see.
Charming porthole windows and glass doors opening onto the garden flood the timber-built pod with light. Inside, discover the beautifully furnished interior, finished to a high standard throughout, with thoughtful touches. The main living space offers tranquil garden views from a comfortable couple's sofa, upholstered in nautical stripes, together with a neat table and chairs for cosy dining. Cooking for two with fresh local produce will be a pleasure in the well-planned white kitchen, where a vintage standard lamp adds a quirky touch. The separate, double bedroom has more garden views and is truly a romantic retreat, housing a Victorian-style bed frame dressed in gorgeous linens and heaped with cushions. Next door is a spacious shower room and WC, with dressing gowns provided. Lamps and pictures enhance the cosy appeal of this super property.
Outside, find seating for quiet drinks and warm-weather dining in the large, enclosed garden, sheltered by mature trees. You also have access to private mooring in the summer months, which includes fishing rights on the river.
