  For relaxation the place is on point as very quiet.

  Some of what I’m about to complain about may sound petty but when you review places you have to put warts and all into it. When arriving you approach a barrier which you have to get out the car and press the ring doorbell for someone to open it. Staff seemed friendly enough to check in then You have to pay a deposit for breakages etc £75 and sign sheet, then given a folder of rules and what to do etc . The park has minimum lighting so when it’s dark it’s dark, you need a torch to walk your dog literally, we had rain (as we do) and areas around the park did get flooded so you definitely need some good footwear. Lodge was rented as luxury which was good enough to live in but had a feel of an old peoples home. Cleanliness was not up to scratch as dust on skirting boards, central heating dial and windows hadn’t been cleaned. Hot tub - on settling into the lodge we had a visit from maintenance to show us how to use the tub which was a good touch if you hadn’t used one before, tub was adequate although the step up to it was not fixed down and made of wooden decking so was really slippy. Didn’t see a maintenance guy at our Hot tub from Friday to Friday to check levels etc, I’ve seen this at other places so would have expected to see someone. WiFi is very limited, it’s free to connect if you sit outside reception but when you move you are on your own data which again can be intermittent. Tv in lodge living room was adequate, smart tv. Tv in bedroom wasn’t worth turning on as pixelated and buffered a lot so didn’t use it. We noticed you could connect to the lodge WiFi but didn’t have a password which was strange if you were actually staying in there. The Croft pub on site was a lovely place to eat and drink with the prices suprisingly reasonable, although it wasn’t open everyday and after new year it was closed for 2 weeks for staff holidays which is fair enough but this was not bought to our attention so had to go off site if wanted to eat out or go for a drink. There is no shop on site even just for essentials, you had to go off site which was about 5 min drive. It’s the second place I’ve been to in 6months that doesn’t have an onsite shop which I think is very strange..is this the new thing? There are no dog waste bins around the park only in an exercise area which is not gated off. Recycling or waste bins were no where to be seen around where we stayed so had to leave rubbish in waste bin around by hot tub ( apparently there are some but a long walk from lodges where we stayed. Upon leaving they require you to basically put everything back where it belongs and clean as you arrived this included taking all covers off beds and pillowcases and put in bags provided ( I’ve never had to do this when paying a good amount of money to stay somewhere), leave clean yes we always do as that’s in my nature but to strip beds and make sure all is correct no. When checking out it was a frosty morning and the drive to reception was treacherous and hadn’t been gritted at all, when handed keys there wasn’t much interaction with usual how was your stay, hope you enjoyed it but nothing… All in all it felt like a place that hadn’t finished areas off and decor in lodges are basic for luxury. Recycling looked a big issue as no waste bins in sight. As mentioned at beginning people this is only our feedback as we look for these issues to hopefully give the owners a view from outside and you as possible holiday makers a good insight into holidaying.

  Titterstone Shepherds Cabin is a beautifully situated, well thought out accommodation.

  Fantastic views across stunning countryside, comfortable and cosy interior and space outside to enjoy the Hot Tub, plus outside furniture for Al fresco dining. Come rain or shine, the outside space can be enjoyed. The cabin inside has plenty of windows to enjoy your surroundings, a lovely little log burner to keep you warm when needed (there was also a portable radiator heater to keep the chill off inside), we were super cosy. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. Really nice shower, plenty of hot water. My son and me loved going in the hot tub each night enjoying the views, we had the fairy lights on too outside. I also enjoyed sitting outside with a coffee at night enjoying the darkness and silence, and in the mornings watching the sheep and lambs, listening to the birds. We went on two lovely walks from the cabin. One was along the public footpath across the field from the cabin, which went through the wooded area following a stream. The other walk was up Titterstone Clee Hill which can be reached directly from the small village of Bedlam, fantastic walk and views. We also visited some National Trust and English Heritage places in the near area. Also Acton Scott Working Farm is worth a visit, and the beautiful Ludlow Castle. Carding Mill Valley is a really pretty area to enjoy a walk and the stream. We also enjoyed meeting Snapchat the Sheep, he's really friendly and loves his nose being stroked. He came to say hello a few times at the cabin, along with Susan the sheep. Very cute. We will definitely be returning and recommending.

  This was a beautiful accommodation in an equally lovely location.

  The spec was all to a very high standard, the kitchen equipment was superb - nothing second class or shoddy about items supplied. The welcome pack was most appreciated. The whole accommodation was beautiful and to a very high standard, bed was really comfortable. We chose this accommodation for the fact it had an undercover hot tub area as very few holiday lets provide this (most definitely an asset with the UK weather) and it lived up to all our expectations and more, the outside fridge was also an asset and an absolute deal breaker, it was so helpful in having extra space to store our food/drinks etc. Waking up to the cows, sheep and birds was so lovely and relaxing. The only suggestion I would make is that it would have been nice to have some ice made up as ice tray was empty (a very small thing) and some flash/power cleaner to help me clean at the end of stay) apart from that all fabulous - could not recommend highly enough. We met the owner on our last day when leaving so certainly not an intrusive lady lady :) Excellent all round. In relation to trips, Ludlow castle great and markets superb.

  Absolutely stunning accommodation and location.

  The property was exceptional, you could tell from the start great care and thought has been put into all the little details. And no corner was cut to make the stay completely blissful. Everything was finished to a high standard. Our elderly, but escape professional beagle walked the perimeter of the garden several times and couldn’t escape so we could relax and enjoy the sensational views. I can’t recommend this venue or location enough for dog owners that still want luxury. The hot tub was wonderful. The bbq had everything you needed. The kitchen was better equipped then ours at home. And the bedding smelt incredible!! The photos don’t do this place justice. Thank you Anne for all your advise too picking where to take our pooch. We will be back. Highly recommend heading to Ludlow, the castle is dog friendly and only £8. And there is also Mortimer forest which has lots of amazing walks and is under shade. There is also the amazing Ludlow farm shop which has a great dog friendly cafe and pub. Across from the shop is an estate that is a great walk too.

  We stayed a week here and had a lovely time.

  The Shepherds Hut is so comfortable and cosy, with everything you could want. A well supplied kitchen with full sized appliances, a fantastic shower, comfy sofa and bed, plenty of space for 2 people without feeling crowded at all. There was a lovely starter pack of food and fizz from Wendy, who made us feel very welcome but also let us get on with our break. It was lovely to relax in our own private space in the evening. We chose Mucklewick Hollow because we wanted to explore the Marches on both sides of the border and it us a fantastic location for that, really well placed for all the Marcher towns and even a day on the coast! It would be a very lucky and happy Shepherd who would live in a hut like this, the best we have stayed in, and we really recommend this gem!
