The surrounding area offers plenty to do, with local walks and attractions adding to the appeal.
Guests consistently mention the property being spotless and very clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the lodge.
The property is appreciated for its central location to various attractions, though one mention of traffic noise suggests it may not be perfectly serene for all. The lack of public footpaths or pavements directly to the property is noted, but does not significantly detract from its overall appeal.
Reviewers frequently highlight the comfort of the lodge, mentioning comfy beds, spaciousness, and a homely feel that caters to all ages, from children to the elderly.
The wide range of facilities, including a hot tub, sauna, games room, and entertainment systems, are highly praised and well-maintained, contributing to an enjoyable stay.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through personal touches like fresh flowers and a homemade cake on arrival. While these gestures are greatly appreciated by guests, it's worth noting that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

There are loads of interesting places to visit nearby and plenty of places to eat. Lower Lodge is somewhere we would love to return in the future. Hosts Mark & Lisa were really helpful. Loved the Games Room and the main TV in the lounge.Additional bonus with the Hot Tub, Shower Room and Sauna. Plenty of seating both inside and outside the property. It is a real credit to the owners.

Very spacious - feels bigger than the photos. Well kitted out with lots of technology, kitchen equiptment, games & entertainment etc. Modern but comfortable. I recommend days out to shrewsbury museum, Blist Hill victorian Town and the enginuity museum.

Usually when you go back to a holiday home for the 2nd time you feel it wasnât as good as the first time but this was not the case with lower lodge. Lower lodge is spotlessly clean, hot tub well maintained, plenty of amenities for 3 generations and the most friendly host you could ever wish to meet. Looking forward to returning for a 3rd time
