What our customers say about their holidays

• Michael - Verified booking

  Owner was very nice but we had issues with facilities.

  The house was freezing cold on our arrival and the heating in rooms is somehow separate from central heating and difficult to work out. Instead of a relaxing start to our holidays we spent first two days trying to warm up the house with a portable heater and keeping the doors downstairs wide open. The bedroom heating was not working at all and the kitchen seems to have no central heating installed. Dining area is in the corridor and it is very cold and dark for meals and playing games. Thankfully we spent most of our holidays outside the house but after being on walks all day it would have been nice to come back to a warm cottage. The cold added unnecessary stress and the heating should have been set and checked well before our arrival. Kitchen is huge and it would have been helpful to have labels on where things are as there are many random things in dusty cupboards without much order. We felt it was a missed opportunity as the lounge is set up really nicely for reading by the fire and the vintage decor is great but it would make more sense to have a dining table there to not shiver during breakfast and dinner. I hope the feedback will help others choose their stay according to their needs better.

  This is a lovely first floor apartment, accessible without steps.

  It has a large, open plan lounge with a small kitchen area and dining table and chairs. Both bedrooms are comfortable, a double with en-suite and twin with bathroom right across the corridor. The garden was a pleasant area with hot tub which was fairly private. There is some road noise but the garden area is screened by bushes. The location is really handy for the town centre. Bishop's Castle is an interesting place with brightly coloured houses and shops. The apartment is at the top of town, where the castle once was and there is a partially steep hill down to the bottom of town where the church sits. Great places to eat nearby, within 100 metres or so. The Castle Hotel does a great Sunday roast. An Indian, Chinese and Fish & Chips takeaways and a spinkling of pubs and cafes. Lots of pleasant walks from the doorstep contained on leaflets provided. We tried a couple and found them to be accurate and very scenic. Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Montgomery are all worth a visit and vary between 30 to 50 minutes drive away. Finally, Adrian is a very attentive, yet discrete host. Had a great time, no rain and pretty sunny at times.

  We have stayed in a number of cottages over the years, but I have to say that our stay here was without doubt THE perfect break that we have always been looking for!

  The most wonderful hosts you could ever wish to meet, made us feel completely at ease and extremely welcome. As for the cottage itself, we have never found our all perfect cottage, until we came across this beautiful and idyllic place. Perfectly set within a wooded area, looking out onto hilly forests and mature trees. But our delight was in the particular wildflower area directly outside our lodge. With the serenity and the beauty of the wildlife that it attracted was truly a most beautiful source of much needed relaxation to us both. We spent the majority of our evenings sitting outside in front of the chimnea having drinks and listening to the wildlife until the early hours. We have never experienced or enjoyed a holiday so peaceful and relaxing as this, and we didn’t realise how much we needed to until we got here! We cannot recommend this lodge highly enough, especially for people wanting to recharge and get away from it all! We most definitely will return and look forward to it!

  Perfect hosts!

  Perfect lodge! On arrival Joy and Francis were there to greet us. They are both extremely friendly and helpful. We were blown away by the standard of the accommodation. We had Prosecco in the fridge along with milk, olives, coffee and chocolate. We had shopped en route and prepared a simple supper and sat in the garden. We had a walk around the grounds and then slept soundly in the very comfy bed. 
Saturday we went into Bishops Castle and had lunch at the Chai shop. Tina is an amazing host and very good Indian cook. We also had a drink in the oldest licensed brewery in England.
The local walks are great and easy to walk the area around the lodge. The local vineyard in Montgomery is lovely, tasted wine and had lunch. 
The lodge is in a very central position for lots of activities. Both Francis and Joy recommend Kerrys ridge which had amazing views. 
We can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful week!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.

  Owner met us at the property and went through everything with us. Lovely man and knowledgeable about the area. The property is very well equipped and spacious for us 4 adults (2 couples). Beds were very comfortable (for us) with spotlessly clean bedding and towels provided. Hot tub was amazing - we made very good use of this! Welcoming local pubs - serving food-within a few minutes walking distance. Private garden lovely to relax in and just listen to the birdsong. Overall, we had a lovely relaxing break and were very happy with everything. If there is one thing that could be improved upon then the shower cubicles need a bit of TLC around the bases i.e. the sealant around the trays needs to be replaced. The showers themselves were just fine - it’s just a finer point perhaps to note for the future. We would certainly visit again ☺️
