About West Stow Pods

This is a friendly and well run glamping site in Suffolk, nestled within a tranquil woodland setting. The site has four ensuite MegaPods, each sleeping four people with a double bed and double sofa-bed. The pods also have a kitchenette with sink, fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster, plus a brick built BBQ outside. Set far enough apart to offer privacy, the pods are still close enough to be perfect for group bookings. They are in a WiFi-free environment, so you can enjoy switching off and spending time with each other or the children, who are able to run and play freely in the woodland. Alongside the pods is the cabin style, Cedar Lodge, offering a furnished interior with a comfy double sofa bed. Inside is a fully-fitted kitchen, an ensuite shower room and a comfy double sofa bed. Or, why not try the Woodland Lodge, which offers two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds, a shower room and a kitchenette. Both the lodges offer the perfect getaway in the country, complete with WiFi and parking outside. Dogs are welcome.

West Stow Pods is open from 01/01 to 17/12.

Camping Pod - Ensuite MegaPods Mar 2024

We had a lovely and peaceful stay in this cosy pod. Great place with lots of dog walks, super friendly owners and we loved the birds. It was such a relaxing break. I'd love to go back.

Camping Pod - Ensuite MegaPods Jan 2024

Lovely stay in January (lucky with the weather). Sofa comfortable and bed cosy. Tiny TV didn't get signal, so couldn't watch anything, but we took cards so stayed occupied. Spotty internet and phone signal, but the whole area had that issue. Fridge was a bit small, but it was cold enough to store the wine outside! Wouldn't work in the summer or if you were staying longer. Only actual problem was the kitchen tap, which leaked all over the work-surface over night, soaking the food, teabags and the floor. The en-suite was also so cold that condensation was running down the walls, making puddles on the floor. Didn't attempt a shower (cos we forgot towels…). Would go back and will certainly explore similar venues.

Site's response

So sorry you had a couple of issues, Kerry. If you had contacted us whilst on site, we certainly could have helped you resolve them, like the TV booster wasn't switched on, apologies for that. We'd love to welcome you back in the warmer weather and offer you a 10% discount. Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate that.

Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful forest setting

Camping Pod - Ensuite MegaPods (Pet Free)Jul 2022

We only booked 2 nights, wish it was longer! The pod was amongst the trees in a secluded area just off from the road. We had great weather and used the bbq each night which was lovely. Sofa bed was comfy, bed was hoarded but slept fine still! We were a party of 2 plus 7month old!
