What our customers say about their holidays

  We had an amazing holiday at Hampton Lodge.

  We came with our four adult children and two of their partners, so although we wanted to spend time together, we still needed the lodge to be big enough so we didn't feel on top of one another, and Hampton Lodge provided this. The lodge genuinely felt big enough for eight adults, with enough sofa space and space at the dining table for everyone. We couldn't fault the lodge, it was just perfect in every way and we had a lovely stay. It was exactly as advertised on Sykes, and the little extras like board games, badminton set, and table tennis ensured we always had plenty to do. The hot tub being under the veranda was great as it meant we could continue to enjoy it even when the weather was not great. We also couldn't have asked for a better location and there was plenty to do in the local area. We visited the aqueduct, hired a canal boat for the day, visited Hawkstone Park Follies and went white water rafting. Barbara was a great host, welcoming us with her amazing cake and providing lots of information about things to do nearby. All in all this is probably the best accommodation we have stayed in and everyone in our family had a great time, the week just flex by. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and I don't believe anyone would regret booking Hampton Lodge for their holiday.

  Myself an 7 friends have just returned from an amazing weekend at Hampton Lodge.

  The lodge itself exceeded our expectations, the setting was perfect…you are literally in the middle of nowhere so for those of you wanting to get away from it all then look no further….the lodge was just beautiful an enough space for all of us 8…40 something gin drinking ladies. Barbara the host was so welcoming, she made us feel at home straight away, gave us lots of recommendations if we wanted to venture out…and made us the most gorgeous Victoria sponge cake as a welcome gift. We had a trip out to Ellesmere where we ate at the lovely Meze (Greek Restaurant) the food was amazing an they staff there was so lovely too, then we found a fab little bar call the Vault which had live music on (Saturday night) really good atmosphere an highly recommended if you do venture out of the lovely lodge. I’ve got to mention Pete the taxi driver…Tennant taxis…his number is in the information book provided at the lodge…Pete who we renamed Cliff (don’t ask) was so accommodating with us…he did numerous trips ferrying us back an too…lovely guy. We absolutely had the best time here and have already put our dates in for next year. Thanks Barbara for a memorable weekend….see you next year!!

  The site managers were lovely especially the male, both were approachable and friendly.

  The accommodation was warm and comfortable. There were no accessible hoover, brush or mop to be able to clean. We took our dog and it would have been nice to have been able to clean the floor after our walks. The Hot tub smelled very strong of cloreen that it stung our eyes, we even told them not to attend to it for the last 2 days. During our week stay we only used the Hot tub 3 times which was part of the reason for booking that location. When the jets were on in the Hot tub black bits came out and were floating about, we even had to buy a net to try to clean the black bits out. When we arrived we were informed that the games room and bar area was closed. This was disappointing as we had two 12 year olds with us who was looking forward to the games room. We were left a folder with how to work things in the accommodation, however the Wifi code never worked to either of the log ins given resulting in two very board children. The Sky TV was our saving although this was still limited. The log fire was lovely but again there were nothing to light it with and we had to go a purchase a lighter to light it.

  We had a fabulous time at Hampton lodge.

  It was a family get together as we are all spread about the country. The setting is really rural which is so peaceful, and there was lovely walks straight from the lodge, even along the county roads as they hardly have any cars going by. There was plenty of local amenities nearby in Ellesmere just a few miles away, and a great pub called sun inn at Welshampton which you can walk to (2 miles). The lodge itself is very well presented. We loved that it was mostly all on one level so we felt very together. The hot tub was fantastic! You didn’t have to go beyond the veranda to get in it so it was an any weather activity as it’s fully covered but has great views of the sunset. The hosts were wonderful, friendly and made us feel very welcome. Another great point for us is that it is disability friendly, my mum has mobility issues but due to it all being on the ground floor this was no problem and she still felt very much part of the group and could take her scooter on walks along the country lanes with us all. We will definitely return. Thankyou!

  Hampton Lodge was the perfect place for our group of five seniors.

  The accommodation was excellent and we received a very warm welcome from Barbara, (the owner). The lodge proved the ideal position from which to explore. We enjoyed visits to a number of National Trust properties including, Chirk Castle and the fascinating Erddig Hall and Gardens. Llangollen and the horse drawn barge trip was also favourites. If you want to eat out in the evenings, unfortunately you will need to take the car. However the nearest local pub,The Sun Inn at Welshampton proved to be perfect for us with a good variety of excellent meals. Back to the Lodge.The facilities were first class and the hot tub a great addition. One point visitors might wish to be aware of is that the upstairs bedroom is accessed by a rather steep wooden staircase, which may be an issue for the "not so fit" guest. We would heartily recommend Hampton Lodge to anyone looking for a quiet rural base, from which to explore Shropshire and surrounding area
