What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  Cottage and facilities met expectations of information listed for a luxury lodge, however there were quite a few restrictions on use of facilities.

  For example, hot tub rules, car access and the cafe was closed, even for takeout snacks (other than ice cream). This didn't actually effect our holiday but worth being clear for others. Also the restaurant opening times and checkout times had conflicting information causing some confusion as what is printed/advertised is not what we were verbally told (after the fact for the checkout which was the only real negative point of the stay as we felt we were rushed out before the printed time). The welcome prosecco and provided essentials (e.g. dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid, shower gel, hairdryer), over and above what was listed were a pleasant surprise and could help if advertised. The Croft restaurant deserves a special mention as this was extremely nice. We ate here on numerous occasions during our stay and enjoyed each and every meal - definitely worthwhile visiting but recommend booking.

  The pod was even better than we expected with everything we needed.

  Communication with Angie was great from start to finish and as there were no restaurants to eat out in at that time, the Miners arms offered to deliver pizza to us. The bed was extremely comfortable and shower facilities were fine. Everything was spotlessly clean on arrival and she had even provided a lovely bottle of Prosecco to welcome us. After long days out walking, the hot tub was very welcoming and was checked every day. We even managed to see some great sunrises (hence the name). Fantastic views from all sides and even though we did have neighbours, we didn’t hear a thing! We were very lucky with the weather and managed to see some great places nearby. We will definitely be recommending and hopefully returning again.

  Went back to the same lodge same park we went to in 2020.

  However felt the lodge had not been maintained well in the year since we had been. On entering the property we found the bedroom door did not shut properly and the handle to the utility room was lose the carpet was starting to fray near the french doors and decking was showing wear and a dining chair leg was loose. We also felt the site was starting to get rather busy with more lodges and mobile homes put up and more planned for next year and this has put us off booking for next year as liked the site when it was quiet and views to lake good. My hubby had a heart condition and we are looking for good views and tranquillity which we got in 2020 but this year it didnt feel quite the same for us

  Park was beautiful peaceful and very well maintained.

  Location Idealic but still close to Shrewsbury for facilities. Lodges were to a very high standard. Staff were very welcoming helpful and friendly. Lovely Hot Tub Maintaned on a daily basis. Used most days I stayed. Took my Dog with me and she loved it. Decking around lodge secure for Dog. Small wood around lodges which my dog walked to and secure Exercise Paddock available which I took my dog to in morning and evening for a run around with her ball. Dogs kept on leads in park. Most visitors had dogs. Nice Swimming Pool. Good Fishing Facilities on Private Lakes only available to be used by Park Residents. Lots of Wildlife. Planning to book again.
