Guests say
Oak Lodge in Shrewsbury offers a well-equipped, spacious stay with a private hot tub and scenic views. Guests appreciate the complimentary treats, the large kitchen, and the proximity to local amenities and attractions. While some guests encountered issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the majority found the lodge clean and the staff friendly. The on-site restaurant is popular, so booking in advance is recommended. The peaceful environment and wildlife add to the charm of this lodge.
Most guests found the lodge clean with spotless kitchen utensils. However, a few mentioned cobwebs, a non-fresh smelling bed, and hairs in the sink, indicating occasional lapses in thorough cleaning.
The lodge is praised for its peaceful setting close to Shrewsbury, with easy access to shops and attractions. The proximity to a main road and train track does not seem to cause noise issues.
Guests generally found the lodge comfortable, with a large bedroom and living area. Some guests mentioned an uncomfortable bed and noise from the hot tub heating, which affected their sleep.
Facilities like the hot tub and on-site restaurant are well-received, but some guests were disappointed by the lack of Wi-Fi, closed amenities, and additional fees for swimming. The inability to secure restaurant bookings and the absence of a site shop for essentials were noted.
Guests were delighted with the complimentary bottle of Prosecco and coffee pods, although it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary per stay.

The accommodation was immaculately clean, our only critisism was that the cutlery and mugs could have been washed cleaner, but that was probably down to previous occupants; we are always fastidious at cleaning such items. The location of the lodge, overlooking a lake was truely lovely, the weather was dry so we were able to use the decked area outside and Wilson (our dog) was absolutely fascinated watching the ducks from there. Beaconsfield Holiday Park was a lovely, very spacious site to stay on and very quiet at the end of October; we'd travelled a long way to get there and happily spent the first day wandering around the site. Would thoroughly recommend Oak Lodge for a relaxing stay.

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 .
