Hillside Lodge Reviews

Kayleigh

Our happy place! Our third stay and fourth is already booked for next November. Owner is lovely and so helpful. We required assistance when we were there and within 5 minutes wed had a visit and issue resolved! We always stay for a full week and have everything we need. Already looking forward to our next visit

We had a great week at Hillside Lodge, the living accommodation was excellent and so to the outdoor dining area. The view from the Lodge, looking over Ludlow is spectacular with the sun setting over the opposite hills There are plenty of walks right on the door step, that our younger dog enjoyed, and the enclosed garden gave great freedom for both of our dogs. Big thank you to the owner Marie, we will be returning.

Absolutely stunning lodge, we have stayed in many dog friendly cottages lodges and this is without doubt the best one. Already looking to book for next year.

Well, for our first family little get away. It was amazing! Marie had made sure everything was ok for us, any problems she was there not that we had any. Everywhere was so clean and well presented. The hot tub was a big hit for us and the kids. Our dog loved just lieing on the grass taking in the air. We also got to watch the barn swallows which were amazing, flying in and out their nest! What a fantastic lodge it was! Thank you! X

Joanne

A wonderful place to unwind and relax. The view was amazing! The beds were extremely comfortable and the hot tub was lovely. The weather was glorious. We just didnt want to leave thank you so much.

Edward

A beautiful lodge with all the comforts and wonderful view. Sykes sent us the directions to the wrong lodge, but we soon found ours.

We absolutely loved staying here could' never get bored off view we had 2 dogs who loved outdoor space they were secure and safe beds so comfy would highly recommend beautiful part off the world. ..shame no washing machine

Beautiful, peaceful location, although just a short drive to Ludlow, and the lodge itself was clean and well decorated. Having the hot tub refreshed for every visit is very reassuring. The owners obviously take pride in their property and are very welcoming. I have already recommended it to several friends.

Andrew

If you're after remote, this is remote! Sainsbury's 10 mins drive. The facilities are excellent, the lodge is gorgeous, the hot tub was incredibly clean and we spent a lot of time in there during our stay. Loved the undercover leisure area, used the barbecue griddle, the freezer and wine fridge in this area. Lovely to be able to dine looking out over the superb view. If you have a very small dog smaller than our Mini Schnauzers the garden might not be totally secure if your dog is determined we bought a screw in staketether so our two could roam on long lines without us worrying. We did check the boundaries but were not 100 comfortable to let them roam at their will.

Jennifer

The lodge was beautiful inside and out. The views down the valley were breathtaking and it is located in a beautiful mountain setting. The hot tub was great and the BBQ area was a great asset and we had a lovely evening relaxing, eating and drinking. Will definitely be booking for a repeat visit and Maria was really lovely and kind. The beds were also amazing and we truly had a fabulous stay. Thank you.

We had a fantastic bank holiday stay at Hilltop Lodge. The lodge is beautifully presented and well equipped Marie, the owner, couldnt do enough for us when we asked about where we could source wood for the outdoor wood burner. The dogs had an amazing time with plenty of freedom to explore, and the covered hot tub meant it was very well used! We loved it so much we are booking to return next year.

We spent a fantastic week at Hillside Lodge. The views from the property are really lovely, especially from the master bedroom or from the hot tub which we enjoyed everyday. Inside is fitted out to a high standard. It is only 1015 mins drive from Ludlow which is a beautiful place to visit. Croft castle is also worth visiting as well as Stokesay castle. Would recommend the Riverside inn at Aymestrey, the Lion inn at Leintwardine and the Blue Boar at ludlow for great pubs to eat out at. Good communication with Marie on the day and when we left. Would return again in the future when visiting this area.

Jillian

I can honestly say that I could not fault Hillside lodge. The property,the views, the host and everything about this place was perfect. We enjoyed a lovely welcome cake n uand a visit from Marie the host, to make sure we had all that we needed. Our two lively Springers had a ball,with stunning views from our afternoon walks up the hill. A total relax,topped off by the beautiful hottub,which was perfectly tended to. Thankyou so much Marie,we will certainly be back and have already recommended to our friends.

Victoria

Hillside lodge was an amazing little find! Cosycomfortable and had everything we needed. Just to go for the hot tub alone and the view would make it worth it! Beautiful location, will definitely be back!

Lorraine

The lodge was lovely, a lot of time had been taken into the decor very welcoming, view were amazing, everything we needed for our holiday was there . Looking forward to booking again.

We spent 4 nights here and loved every minute, the views from the property are beautiful especially if the sun is out and you see it setting over Ludlow and the hills. The hot tub was in constant use and was always well monitored by the owners for water quality. There are no shops in walking distance so bring all your food and drink with you unless you want to have a car trip out. We knew this and loved the remoteness and quietness, it felt very private as if it was only us there and the sheep!.

A fantastic place to stay. All exactly as described. Photos cant do justice to how beautiful it really is. Felt very welcomed by Marie and Neil. felt that if we needed anything then they were approachable

2nd year we have been for a birthday weekend, brill. Hot tub was brill sitting in it with a glass of bubbly looking over the valley,very quiet great weekend,thanks to our hosts.

Sandra

Wonderful place to stay, the views are beautiful the garden perfect if you have dogs, hot tub fab to relax in spotlessly clean, a couple of hooks to hang a robe or towel on would be useful as you get out. But If your after a quiet break in a beautiful area this is perfect, but as nothing is close take all supplies with you, if you do want to venture out great walks and picturesque Ludlow a few minutes away Ludlow brewery worth a visit. Carnt wait to go back, oh and Marie was brill and helpful a lovely chocolate cake on arrival Thank you Marie for a very enjoyable break you have a wonderful place

Daniel

Back from a lovely stay at Hillside Lodge. The lodge itself has everything you need and was very clean, tidy and modern. What made this extra special was the amazing view and the outside covered area with the hot tub. We enjoyed outdoor cooking on the hot plate and although the weather in February wasnt warm, the log burner kept us cosy. Definitely recommend staying here!

Hayley

Just got back from an amazing week at this beautiful lodge. Myself and my family had such a relaxing stay here. Marie and family were always available whenever we needed them. Thank you from the Smith family!

Great lodge will definitely return had everything and more the owners were a ... Great lodge will definitely return had everything and more the owners were a delight they attended to our every need made us feel welcome couldnt of asked for me Beautiful views and hot tub and great space

Lorraine

We have really enjoyed our week staying in this lovely lodge. It is very modern inside and tastefully decorated. The views are stunning too. Outdoor facility is good and the hot tub, which we enjoyed every day, was excellent. The lodge is very remote with several narrow lanes to negotiate. Really peaceful once youre there though.

This is the first time we have stayed at this beautiful holiday home but we hope it wont be the last. Its absolutely beautiful, very high end feel and fixtures. The outside space is suburb and its where we spent a lot of time. With walks straight from the gate we rarely used our car. Marie is also what makes this place that bit more special in our opinion, she was so lovely and nothing was too much trouble

Michael

This was the best stay weve ever had of this type. Total privacy with Marie and Neil on hand for anything we needed totally unintrusive. The lodge is brilliantly designed and the owners have clearly gone to a lot of effort to create a stunning retreat. Great outdoor kitchen and hot plate BBQ with drinks fridges and freezer. Excellent indoor kitchen perfect for cooking anything. The beds are comfy, well presented and spotless. The scenery is incredible and the location perfect. Cant recommend this place highly enough. We will DEFINITELY be going back having tried lots of other places which dont deliver compared to this.

Great stay, lodge as described and very comfortable. The only little niggles are the shower head.you need to hold it up as it drops and faces the wall.minor but annoying when trying to wash and no large door pocketshelf in fridge for things like larger cartons of milk or bottles of coke etc. Road might put some folks off as very narrow in bits but we were fine with it as we are used to these types of roads. Remote and no pubsshops in immediate vicinity, definitely need a car. Nice little touch of milk and cake on arrival in lodge. Great for a peaceful break.

Natasha

Absolutely gorgeous cabin well kept and very homely, it was a shame we had to leave we all had a fantastic time would definitely book again just for longer.

Danielle

Lovely host who really took care of us and went the extra mile

Katrina

I only wish that I was waking up there again today. A beautiful place to stay, lacks for nothing, comfortably and tastefully decorated and stunning views. It is up a very steep hill, but Ludlow and the Ludlow Farm Shop and an Sainsburys, are only a short drive away. Great for our two dogs and there is a nice circular walk around the back of the property to a little fork in the road down the hill. Would definitely recommend if you want peace and quiet and a relaxing time. Bonus is the hot tub and watching the sunset from it.

Well what can I say what a fantastic place,the views down the valley , sitting in the hot tub, stunning walk up clee hill. Lodge was very cosy and clean. Would recommend this place. P.s the owners pulled all stops as it had been snowing and they cleared the lane leading up to the lodge and pathways around the lodge. Thankyou.

Beverley

Peace and quiet guaranteed! The lodge is in a lovely setting with an amazing view, and we didnt see anyone for the whole time we were there apart from our visit to Ludow. The lodge had everything we needed and although it was cold outside February, the heating kept us warm and cosy. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped & spotless. The outside space is great but it was a shame we didnt get to use it much because of the cold weather. The hot tub, was clean, very relaxing and great for star gazing under the clear dark skies . Just a couple of nit picks the garden is fairly secure and enclosed but keep an eye out if you have a small dog, our little 'Eddie' found a space to escape behind the back of the lodge within 5 minutes of arriving! No extra towels or robes were provided for the hot tub so make sure to bring your own. Would love to visit again in spring or autumn when its a bit warmer for alfresco dining or to enjoy the log burner in the outside cabin.

Sandie

WOW! What great views and a lovely Lodge to stay in. It was warm, clean and welcoming. The dogs enjoyed all the sniffs around and slept well every night, as did we! We will definitely go back when the weather gets warmer but a great place to switch off from the wheels of life.

Fantastic place to stop for a relaxing quiet stay . It has everything you need . I would definitely recommend to everyone. Will be coming back .

Nathan

Absolutely beautiful area, lodge had everything we needed for our stay. Very modern and well equipped. We went whilst it was snowing and they kindly gritted the roads. Towns local to get to, perfect for walks. Not a nit pick but shower head could use some attention as it droops down. Other than that, would highly recommend and hope to visit again soon.

This property was just perfect inside and out we definitely want to come back again.

Was such a lovely peaceful place with amazing views didn't want to leave the ... Was such a lovely peaceful place with amazing views didn't want to leave the owner messaged us on day of arrival to say if we need anything to contact her but other than that we were left alone which is what we like a perfect place to relax

Great place to stay, our dog absolutely loved it and the owner was very nice and friendly. Already going back next year! The views were spectacular in the mornings and evenings.

Debbie

We had a wonderful stay. Our hosts were on hand if we needed them. The lodge itself was beautifully furnished and comfortable, fab hot tub and amazing views. We had a peaceful holiday with our dog, walking in Mortimer & Wyre Forests and Wolverley Lock. A perfect time!
