Paradise in Kenstone near Hodnet | Must-See Shropshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Paradise

Paradise is a luxury pod in rural Shropshire, near the small village of Kenstone. This isn't your average glamping experience. Set on a working farm with stunning countryside views, it's a proper escape from everyday life. The owners Lou and Phil have created something special here.

The location is brilliant. Peaceful farmland surrounds you with rolling hills in every direction. Total privacy guaranteed - perfect for stargazing from the hot tub after dark (and yes, you can see everything when you're that far from city lights). The sunken fire pit is a real highlight too - grab those complimentary marshmallows and get toasting!

The pod itself is a single-storey studio with everything you need. There's a comfy double bed, pull-out sofa bed, fully-equipped kitchen with combi microwave/oven, gas hob and fridge. The bathroom has a proper shower. Underfloor heating keeps everything toasty even in winter. The private hot tub stays perfectly hot (39-41°C) all night - better than most places where the temperature drops.

You're just 1.5 miles from the nearest pub and shop. Shrewsbury is within easy reach for shopping and sightseeing. Explore the Shropshire Hills or visit historic Ironbridge. Attingham Park makes a great day out too.

Paradise lives up to its name. Adults-only, no kids, no pets - just pure relaxation. The hot tub, fire pit and those views... Paradise indeed.

We had a lovely weekend at the log cabin! The owners were friendly and welcoming and we would definitely recommend!!

Sophie

We had an amazing stay at Paradise. Everything was absolutely perfect. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, and all the thoughtful little touches made our stay that much more special. We would love to stay here again in the future.

What an amazing place! It was truly a Paradise. I've built more great memories with my partner. Thank you! Clean, cosy, pure luxury, the picture don't do it justice. The weather wasn't great but we still took advantage of the fire pit and the jacuzzi. On top of that Lou and Phil are a beautiful couple. Very friendly and humble. I couldn't be happier. For sure we're coming back 10 out of 10

A squeaky bed which i didnt mind as it enhances the environment, and switch the hot tub off after use as it will make noise right next to your bed. Hot tub and fire are perfect. Will be back defo!

Daniel Brett

I booked this for a surprise birthday getaway for my wife and i, it did not disappoint! !! Accommodation was fantastic, Lou and Phil also couldn't do enough to help our stay be perfect. I have never booked anything in the past as my partner is the organiser but its safe to say I exceeded all expectations with this little slice of Paradice, thank you both again I cant recommend this enough for a lovely little getaway.

We stayed here recently, absolutely lovely will 100 be back, owners are lovely and meet you on the way in and couldn't be more accommodating. Nice personal touches with marshmallows and logs for the fires and messages to see if they could accommodate us more!! Definitely coming back soon and recommend to others

Amazing! The hosts were fantastic meeting us upon arrival, very friendly, easygoing and informative. The cabin itself is a perfect cosy size with plenty of room outside on the decking to sit. The heated floor worked impeccably to help warm you up after the short walk back inside the cabin from the hot tub! The views and location were outstanding and the neighbouring lodge were almost unheardunseen the entire time we were there which shows the effort the owners put into privacy really works! Overall, a very peaceful, relaxing and private getaway that we could not recommend more! It will definetly be our go to choice in the future for when we want to unwind.

Sandra

Our second time back and another excellent stay.

Truly paradise as the name says, Lou was polite and helpful but never over bearing, the privacy is stunning and the pod itself is perfect, comfortable, clean, well equipped kitchen. The hot tub was hot for hours at a time and the fire pit really did make the mood perfect, the little details from the paradise in copper above the door to the blankets in the ottoman really made this, simply no feedback to offer for improvement, perfect 1010, why did my stay have to come to an end

Phil and Lou are nothing short of an exceptional hosts. From the moment we arrived they were warm and welcoming, greeting us with a smile on their face. The paradise itself has everything you need and more. The pod is stocked with everything. The jacuzzi warm and waiting, the log ready for the fire pit the moment you arrive. The area itself was pleasant and quiet. While theres another glamping pod few meters down, you absolutely have zero intrusion from the neighbour, thats how thoughtful it has been designed. If youre thinking of a place where you want to unwind from the everyday chaos at home, this is definitely worth the visit. Thank you again to Phil and Lou for being lovely hosts and we wish them all the best.

Really enjoyed our stay in the Paradise pod. Very relaxing and peaceful with beautiful views. Hot tub was amazing and pod very cosy. Hosts very welcoming. Would definitely revisit.

This is a beautiful hidden gem,the name Paradise certainly fits as you could be anywhere in the world. The hosts were great they greeted us but then left us to enjoy our break,a text was sent checking we were ok and asking if we needed anything on our second day. The glamping pod is stunning ,with so much attention to detail everything has been thought of. Added little touches like marsh mellows for the fire pit,tea coffee and milk were a lovely bonus. The pod is spotless and lovely and warm which will also make it a very appealing winter break .The bed is very comfortable as is the sofa. The views are amazing and there is no noise apart from the contented cows in the field opposite. The hot tub is perfect and very private.We didn't use the fire pit but logs etc were provided,we will be using it when we book again. Thank you so much for a beautiful relaxing stay.

A perfectly placed little pod , ideal for switching off from today's fast paced lifestyle! We really enjoyed this Glamping pod immensely, everything was thought about from the fan to the marshmallows to toast on the fire pit. Loved the fact that the cows in the feld opposite were always eating even 1st thing in the morning ! The hot tub was an added bonus especially as it was constantly heated. Lou was full of suggestions of places to visit as well as having boundless energy! Recommend doing the short drive to Ironbridge and the Hawkstone Follies if you are feeling energetic!

It was our first time staying in a pod and it was an amazing experience Lou and Phil was there to greet us on arrival and was very helpful with things todo around the local area would definitely recommend we will be back

Cameron

The property is very well maintained, and extremely well equipped for a small pod. Everything we needed for our stay was already provided. The outside area feels very private as you are not overlooked by the owners property or the other pod they have on site, and the views whilst sat in the hot tub or by the fire pit are fantastic.

Darren

Another wonderful stay at Paradise. We have already booked up again for November. The pod was as spotless as expected, hot tub still the best we have had, staying hot for so long. The place is perfect for us as so quiet and peaceful we got to read lots and relax. WiFi is great if needed, there really is nothing more you could ask for tea, coffee etc all provided. Hosts Lou & Phil are wonderful there if you need them but not intrusive at all. Hot tub is checked daily but when we had popped out so never an imposition. Amazing place that we can't recommend highly enough.

Heather

Just back from a long weekend break Friday Monday with my partner and stayed at The Paradise. All I can say is it has a massive WOW factor from us both. When we arrived we were greeted by Lou and Paul who came out of there way to introduce themselves and telling us what was near if we were going to adventure out. We didnt need too as the scenary, hot tub and fire pit was enough to keep us going and relax enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The pod itself was beautiful, spotless, clean, a VERY comfy bed and very well equipped kitchen with everything needed for a few days away if you were cooking and it certainly was a home from home feeling. On the day of our arrival Lou and Phil had already got the hot tub ready for ustemperature wise, so when we arrived it was at a nice temperature to just get into it and enjoy. The pod was to a very high standard and if you book this you wont be disappointed. We will be returning again and have already recommended to family and friends.

We stayed at this property for a long weekend for my partners birthday and it was fantastic! The lodge was clean, well stocked with everything that we needed and located on a beautiful farm, the views were incredible. The hosts were fantastic with good communication throughout and very helpful with any questions or requests we had. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to everyone. Thank you Lou and Phil for a perfect weekend.

We had a lovely 3 nights stay in the Paradise. Everything was spotless and clean on arrival, Lou and Phil were extremely friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The area is very peaceful and quiet with great views and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you!

Courtney

This was a surprise weekend away for my boyfriends birthday and he absolutely loved every second of it. We were greeted by Lou and she was so lovely to talk to and gave us a few places to go visit during our stay. We went to Hawkstone park follies for a day trip and its absolutely beautiful. 100 recommend a weekend here!

Heather

Such a beautiful, peaceful place. Lou and Phil met us on arrival and were very welcoming and informative. Pod was equipped with everything we needed, including a few extras e.g. hotchocolatr and marshmallows for the fire pit. We had one very small problem with the shower however this was sorted as soon was we let them know with no problems. Had an amazing few days here and will 100 be returning many time in the future. Thank you Lou and Phil.

Lou & Phil come & greated us straight away. Very welcoming and told us about everything around us that we can do for the weekend, we come down for my 30th birthday in which they left a bottle of Prosecco outside the door for us, when we run out of logs for the fire pit they brought us more, lovely quite area. Enjoyed every moment

Samuel

The cottage was excellent. It was clean and had everything we needed and more. The owners were also very friendly and helpful.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and a cosy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The hot tub never went cold and was always at the perfect temperature and the fire pit was an amazing addition that you don't always see in log cabins. The little touches such as, hot chocolate, marshmallows and skewers to toast them on the fire was brilliant. We went on a lovely long walk on Saturday which was nearby to the cabin and recommended by the owners. We will 100 be returning and will be recommending this place to everyone!

Bethanie

The cabin was spotlessly clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were gifts of marshmallows and sweets aswell as tea, coffee, sugar and milk. The hot tub and the firepit were amazing we roasted marshmallows every night. The host was very welcoming and was just a text away if we needed anything. We will definitely be back to this place it's been one of the best cabins for relaxing we have ever been to.

Henrietta

Lovely property with lovely hosts, the listing was exactly as shown, would highly recommend. The hot tub and the fire pit were such nice additions and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to make dinner, including basics like salt, pepper and oil.

Joseph

We had an amazing time at this log cabin! The fire pit was perfect on the evenings, and we were even given extra logs, which was very kind. The hot tub maintained a temperature between 3941C all night, which is better than any other hot tub weve used. The cabin itself had underfloor heating, and the kitchen was wellequipped with everything we needed. There were so many little details that other cabins dont offer, such as marshmallow toasting sticks, robes, a smart tv and plenty of towels. On arrival, we were greeted with hot chocolates, marshmallows, and milk. The owners were very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We will definitely be returning! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a log cabin getaway.

We stayed over for the weekend for my partners Christmas present and it was even better than we expected! They provided tea,coffee etc marshmallows for the fire pit and hot chocolate. The bed was so comfy and the place was spotless, we couldnt recommended this place anymore and will definitely be back again in the future. The hosts were so lovely and welcoming we really enjoyed our stay

Patrick

We arrived to Paradise to be greeted by Lou and Phil who were extremely pleasant and welcoming. They advised us of the things we needed to know about the property before showing us down the drive to the property. We were shocked at how beautiful the accommodation was, impeccably clean and could not fault anything. We extremely enjoyed our stay it was very peaceful and relaxing. Both of us wished we had booked for longer as the location is perfect for anyone who is looking to get away from life. We will definitely be back in the near future. Thank you again Patrick & Hayley

Daniel

Fantastic venue and really great hosts. We had one issue during our stay which was that the water pipe had frozen over night we did go at the start of January so to be expected!, we reported this to the owners who were at our pod and fixed the issue within minutes. Fantastic service, really nice amount of privacy and a lovely hot tub!

Justyna

Such a lovely stay, lovely area and hosts. Hot tub and fire pit were unreal! Couldnt recommend any more and will definitely be returning!

Very nice place well kept and really clean perfect for a little weekend break, hot tub and fire pit is cosy and the cabin is well kept and very good, cant recommend this place enough would definitely visit again.

Darren

Wow this pod was amazing. We have stopped in many places over the years but paradise was a real standout. Everything is perfectly laid out and completed to a high standard. The fire pit is lovely and so cosy with the fire blazing away. As for the hot tub we spent an awful lot of time in there. The temperature was perfect and we were surprised at how well it keeps the heat. Most hot tubs drop over time but this one kept the temperature steady for as long as we needed it. Stargazing from the hot tub was one of the favourite parts of our stay. The hosts were so lovely and so keen to make sure our stay was perfect but they were not intrusive at all and we felt like we had the place to ourselves We are booking again for July which is a sign of how much we enjoyed our stay.
