  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.

  This is the first time we had stayed in a shepards hut, and wow we was blown away!

  The pictures do not do it justice, it is much better, such beauty surrounds it with the most amazing views, the bed is the best we have had whilst on holidays the sheets pillows and duvet divine, water pressure is fantastic, i still can't believe you can have everything you need in a shepards hut and space, the wood firerd hot tub was excellent so much better than an electric one as it retains the heat , you get a starter pack for the hot tub which was more than enough for our 5 night stay, and we used it everyday alot! The dressing gowns that were supplied for our stay were so super soft i didn't want to take it off, we also were left a gift when we arrived that was such a lovely thing to do , but i won't tell you what it was , so you can book this place and find out! Pete and Sarah the owners are fantastic very friendly and welcoming and pete took us on a tour of the massive farm in his 4x4 right up the hills, we felt like we were in the clouds the views were amazing, so much to do in the area like the waterfalls and the fab pub the royal oak with affordable mouth watering food and owestry was amazing, we can't wait to go back

  Brilliant break away!

  The only thing I can critize is the lack of signs directing you into the park from the village, there's one sign on a lamppost but it's easy to miss and the postcode we received did not take us to the park. However, after a quick look on Google we managed to find out way there. The park is clean, tidy and well maintained. The lodge was immaculate and the hot tub was already turned on and up heat when we arrived. The staff were really friendly and helpful and advised us on some great stuff to do and see while we stayed. The restaurant is small but after reading some rave reviews it didn't not disappoint the Sunday lunch is beautiful and very reasonably priced. I even managed to squeeze a good day's fishing in on a well stocked lake with plenty of fish caught. This park would not suite all audiences, it is adults only and would not suite certain parties such as hen/stag weekends as there is not a lot of night life in the village and the park bar is attached to the restaurant. However, for a nice relaxing break to escape and just relax this is the best Park to go!

  Fairfield is an excellent accommodation of a very high standard with a definite touch of luxury.

  There are some very special extras which makes it a very good experience. Everything within this spacious property has been recently, modernised and it is spotlessly clean. The hot tub is a very welcome extra which is available 24/7 and it was much appreciated. The location is very central, being close to Ludlow and the Shropshire Way is immediately behind the property. Clee Hill is accessible from the property, many National Trust properties are within easy reach, as well as many activities for children and adults, such as Wyre Forest (Go Ape). The Long Mynd was 30 minutes away and there are many small towns nearby, such as Tenbury. There is also very easy access into the property. The owners are exceptionally, welcoming and are very concerned to give you a really good experience. The whole property is beautifully tended with far reaching views. Jane and Anthony could not have been more helpful, yet never intrusive. In fact, this has been one of our favourite accommodations and we genuinely, had a truly enjoyable holiday there.

  We had a wonderful four nights and days at Moorhen Retreat.

  We met Peter in-person and had text contact with Sarah - both were really friendly and helpful. The accommodation was well thought out, clean, comfortable and well-equipped and maintained. The hob took a little working-out, though we sorted it. We slept really well, apart when being dive-bombed by a couple of flies (it is a working livestock farm so some flies can be expected). We used the barbeque every day, and the hot tub most days or nights (if you wanted to skinny-dip, the hot tub can be seen from the top floor of the farm house). It is a beautiful and quiet secluded spot, great for nature lovers. There are towns and villages within easy reach, though we did not eat out at any local pubs so I cannot comment on those. Overall, we had a really enjoyable time, away from the hustle and bustle of our usual lives, and would definitely consider staying again. Maybe next time we will try out the new Heron Pod. Thank you Peter and Sarah for a lovely stay.
