Cherry Blossom Reviews

Very good, enjoyed our stay and would defiantly visit again!
Had an amazing break away with my mum. No faults at all a lovely pod and hot tub with amazing views
Georgia
Cosy, clean, private, beautiful xx
Shanieka
This was a wonderful and peaceful cabin stay, we loved how well it was looked after. We'd definitely recommend it for a few nights away. For a headsup, there are no blinds, so bring a sleep mask if you are a light sleeper. The kitchen has hobs but no oven, so plan your meals with that in mind. Otherwise, a perfect place!
Mercedes
Stayed 3 nights at blossom Cherry loved each moment. Stunning views . Peaceful . Hottub was amazing too . Definitely recommend to others . Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
Isabel
Lovely place to stay, great views, hosts were welcoming and there was information provided of local things to do eat etc. The place was clean and tidy , the hot tub was clean and tidy too. Overall a very nice stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a private,quiet place to stay!
Hayley
We had a lovely stay, we just wanted to get away from our busy lives and stop. Exactly what we hoped for, peace and quiet, gorgeous scenery and a hot tub. Bliss! If I had one little comment to make it would be to have a more comfortable sofa. Other than that, nothing needs changing.
Lovely stay
Lovely place to stay had a really nice time loved the hottub nice and relaxing.
William
Great little property to stay in for a nice long weekend, facilities great for relaxing and refreshing yourselves. Great location with Ludlow a 15 minute drive away, plenty to do around the area, would highly recommend.
Lovely place to stay. Hot tub was lovely, views were beautiful. Very well equipped, clean and bright. Sofa was not the comfiest but everything else was excellent. Outdoor space was well maintained and the privacy was great, only the odd pheasant would wander past!
Beautiful location and a lovely quiet break. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a quiet few days in the country.
Barrie
Was just as it was advertised very clean very quite very chilled everything and more will recommend to all friends
William
Overall this ticked all the boxes we were looking for to celebrate our engagement over a 4 night stay. Would definitely recommend as a great place to stay. Short drive to Ludlow and some great places to visit.
Fantastic property, so simple and easy yet so relaxing and refreshing. Would 100 recommend.
Gabriela
Such a beautiful place. Could not recommend enough only remark I would have is if you want to get a good night sleep bring a eye mask if you don't want to be woken up by the sun early morning, unfortunately property has no blinds.
Pod is exactly as pictured, if not better! Hot tub and bbq were great and the owner Gemma was so lovely, thanks for a great stay we will be back!
Super place xxxx very relaxing have already recommended to my circle
We really enjoyed staying in the Cherry Blossom Pod! Gemma was a lovely host ensuring the pod had most everything guests would need, and even left a 'Welcome Basket' full of goodies. The pod was cosy and quiet, with a hot tub and beautiful view. The location was great very scenic and close to interesting places to see, but far enough away to enjoy the peaceful countryside. The perfect getaway!
Was a lovely few days really relaxing and wonderful location and scenery
Stuart
Beautiful place, clean, amazing views so peaceful. Would definitely recommend
Christina
Really lovely pod in a beautiful location you won't want to go home!
Daniel

Very happy and the pod was very clean beautiful place to visit.
garida
The pod is absolutely beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my birthday weekend. The pod is super clean and the decoration is absolutely beautiful. The views are breathtaking and really peaceful. Thank you for the wine and snacks. We will be back definitely.
Absolutely loved it Gorgeous views and pod was excellent Thank you
Jonathan
Absolutely stunning. Would go back there tomorrow. Only down side was the microwave oven but you can order food.
Absolutely stunning view and so private too! We could come and go as we pleased and the environment was just totally beautiful! Well definitely be returning and Id recommend to everybody looking for a peaceful break away!
I have nothing bad to say about this property it was lovely, comfortable, clean, and overall just perfect. The location is beautiful, with some stunning views not only looking out from the pod but on local walks too. I will definitely be returning and recommending to my family!
Robert
Absolutely fantastic stay, lovely and peaceful and would recommend to anyone looking for a few days away.
Our 2nd visit to Cherry Blossom and another very enjoyable stay. The pod has everything you need and the hosts provided us with a bottle of wine and a few snacks upon arrival. Since our 1st visit last year a radiator has been installed in the sitting area which makes a huge difference from the portable heater. We took our projector this time and made use of the outdoor plug sockets which enabled us to watch a film from within the hot tub!
Absolutely amazing stay at a wonderfully designed pod in a equally beautiful location. The pod looks exactly as described if not better. It felt great to have modern touches on the inside but the feel of disconnect with the serene nature in the distance Overall the experience allowed us to leave feeling refreshed and recharged and starting the new year off in the best way P.S. not sure if it was your cat who paid a visit but they were really cute!
We loved our 3 night stay in this lovely lodge, between Christmas and New Year. The lodge itself is so sweet and comfortable with the owners adding lots of extra touches to make it that much better. The huge hot tub was a lovely addition with a nice amount of privacy that does not disturb the beautiful views! Would definitely recommend and will return!
Really amazing stay in Cherry Blossom. Me and my girlfriend stayed here for our 4th Year anniversary! Would highly recommend to others, really relaxing, well maintained and loved every moment of it. Definitely looking to come back next year!
My girlfriend and I had the best time! It was such a nice place to relax and have a break. The local area was lovely too and we were able to go on some nice walks to nearby pubs. Well be back again Im sure.
Overall the stay was very nice. The place was beautiful! However the toaster wasnt working properly, and needed an electric oven which wouldve been helpful. The views were spectacular and very calm and peaceful atmosphere which I loved, also the hot tub was amazing!
Steven
A lovely place to stay with beautiful surroundings.
Sammi-jo
This was such a beautiful little place with the most fantastic view. We stayed for two nights and had the best sleeps ever I would definitely recommend this for a little get away, and the local town was lovely too. Thanks so much
Thomas
We stayed for 3 nights as a mini honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. The pod was incredibly clean and every detail had been thought of, there were so many added comforts that were much appreciated, such as the blankets, the badminton set, the good quality towels, the really comfy bed and the nice crockery. We cooked some really lovely meals using the George Foreman bbq. It is located in the middle of nowhere, its 20 minutes drive to the nearest shop but we were happy with that, it was completely silent at night, other than the quiet humming of the hot tub and with such minimal light pollution we got amazing views of the stars at night. The hot tub was lovely, very clean and private and to sit in that and look out at the countryside was so relaxing! I have only scored a 7 on how likely I am to recommend to others because while we were there, our friends were asking for the details and when we went to send them, we realised the prices had more than doubled since we booked which I get, what with inflation but we won't be able to return again now as for the same money for us to spend 3 nights there, we could go abroad for a week.
