Guests say
Oak Lodge in Shrewsbury offers a well-equipped, clean, and spacious stay with a private hot tub and scenic views. Guests appreciate the peaceful environment, proximity to local amenities, and the on-site restaurant, though booking in advance is recommended. The lodge's setting is ideal for both relaxation and exploring Shropshire's attractions.
Most guests found the lodge clean with spotless kitchen utensils. However, a few mentioned minor issues such as cobwebs and hairs in the bathroom, suggesting room for improvement in deep cleaning.
The lodge's location is praised for its tranquility and proximity to Shrewsbury town, supermarkets, and attractions like Powis Castle. The park-and-ride service is also appreciated, although the site's remoteness requires a car for access to wider amenities.
Guests generally find the lodge comfortable, with a large bedroom and ensuite. However, some guests noted the bed was uncomfortable and the hot tub's noise at night was disturbing, indicating mixed experiences regarding overall comfort.
Facilities like the hot tub and on-site restaurant are highlights, but guests were disappointed when amenities such as the swimming pool and restaurant were unavailable or fully booked. A charge for swimming and lack of Wi-Fi were also noted as drawbacks.
While some guests mentioned complimentary items such as Prosecco and coffee pods, there are not enough reviews referencing these to guarantee their consistent provision. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided.

The lodge was spotlessly clean when we arrived and it had all the essentials that we needed. The property was very comfortable and the hot tub was an added extra. The staff were really pleasant and helpful. The grounds were immaculate and there was plenty of wildlife to see - moorhens, ducks, rabbits, etc. We took a dog with us and the off lead exercise area was a real bonus. The swimming pool & changing facilities were spotless, too. The Croft restaurant had delicious food.

We Felt the hot tub seemed in the wrong place . The decking should have been continued and the hot tub placed into the decking . The bush outside the door should be got rid of and fencing made more private around the hot tub . November was too wet, the grass around the site had no drainage and the ground was bogie to walk the dog .

The fridge and freezer is large to stock up with beer, food and ice, and a dishwasher so no need to wash up! The bedroom and ensuite is large with plenty of storage and a TV in the bedroom. There is plenty of space in the kitchen and living area. The hot tub is private however there are chairs and table on the balcony so you can dry off and enjoy the view and ducks. Overall the lodge is clean and kitchen utensils spotless, there were a couple of cobwebs on the bedroom window, and the tap in the second toilet is a leak as there is calcium/lime scale around it. The site is close to the main road/train track, although you drive around to get to get to it, there isnât any noise. The Croft is lovely for food, Wednesday is steak night and Thursday date night, after reading the last comment we booked but it was never full on the 3 nights we went, Saturday was busiest night, and Sunday lunch you have to book. The site is less than 3 miles from, Morrisons,Tescoâs and Lidl and Battlefield farm shop a mile down the road, the falconry there, is worth a visit as well. Shrewsbury is a great town to visit, and the park-and-ride is really good £2 per person on the bus return. We also visited Ludlow and Powis castle and garden which are both around 50 minutes drive. Overall great stay and would love to return
