This was very much a last min booking for us and there was a good choice of simular lodges in the Shropshire area, we went for this one for the size of the lodge and the woodland location as I was keen to take some wildlife photos while there.We'd previously stayed at the nearby Henlle Hall years ago when it first opened and we were torn between staying there again or trying somewhere different, we went for different and if we'd never stayed at another lodge this would have scored a 5 out of 5.We've scored a 4 just because there was only the one TV, we like to snuggle up in the bedroom with the TV on, the main TV in the living room only worked with the smart channels, on our last day we worked out why, the previous occupants had obviously wanted a TV in the bedroom and had pulled all the cables out of the TV watched it in the bedroom, returned it to the living room and only plugged it into the mains.The main bathroom shower had one setting 'burn off skin' luckily there are another 2 showers to use that were fine.We stayed in another lodge in North Wales last year and the owners provided tea, coffee and other bits in the kitchen this one only had a pint of milk provided.This lodge did have one of the best hot tubs we've ever used, spotlessly clean and with a working cover.The team also did a great job cleaning the lodge before our stay, it was very clean.Sadly the only wildlife we saw in the woods was a cat.If your looking for a secluded place to stay where you can take your dogs for long walks this is the place for you, I've got a small regret that we didn't stay at Henlle Hall as we missed the resturant, bar and wildlife.
