23rd May 2025: Moddershall Oaks Country Spa Retreat has officially opened its new luxury Woodland Pods, introducing a unique, rural-luxe overnight experience for guests, set within the tranquil beauty of private woodland. This exciting expansion brings 14 beautifully designed pods to the award-winning spa retreat, offering an exceptional new level of privacy and comfort for guests in a natural environment.
To mark the occasion, Moddershall Oaks were pleased to welcome VIP guests including Jenny Barron, the new Mayor of Stafford Borough and Charlotte Cain of Visit Staffordshire to an exclusive launch event yesterday (Thursday 22nd May) to officially open the Woodland Pods. Attendees were welcomed with a ‘first look’ at the Pods, a celebratory ribbon-cutting and toast of botanical cocktails and gourmet canapés, followed by an opening address from Penny Weston, Director and Owner of Moddershall Oaks.
“This project has been incredibly close to my heart. After two years in the making with a six-month delay due to flooding and countless unforeseen challenges, it’s amazing to see our vision for the Woodland Pods finally come to life,” said Penny Weston. “It’s a proud moment not just for me personally, but for the entire Moddershall Oaks family.”
Each of the 14 Woodland Pods has been carefully curated to reflect the surrounding landscape, with names inspired by native flowers and plants. Inside, guests will find stylish, modern amenities including plush king size beds, blackout curtains, air conditioning, eco-friendly bubble spa showers, luxury toiletries, flat screen TVs, mini-fridges, tea and coffee facilities, and more. The Pods invite guests to reconnect with nature, without compromising on indulgence.
The pod collection includes eight double pods, one accessible pod, three family-friendly pods, a romantic honeymoon pod with freestanding roll top bath and a bespoke preparation pod for wedding parties.
Conveniently located just steps from The Venue, Moddershall Oaks’ renowned event space, the pods are perfectly suited for weddings, celebrations, and corporate events. Couples booking weddings at the retreat have the option to reserve the entire pod collection exclusively for their guests.
