About Wayside Lodge

Wayside Lodge is a lovely, detached lodge situated within the quiet surrounding of Wayside Campsite, set in the countryside of Aston on Clun. Offering off-road parking, pet-friendly accommodation, and a hot tub, this property is ideal for a family looking to explore Shropshire.

Park off-road and be welcomed into this single-storey, well-presented property, unpacking into a light and airy open-plan living space. With contemporary amenities and décor, the kitchen is a great space to cook up a storm.

Guests can indulge in a hearty meal at the dining table, complemented by a glass of fizz, before settling down into the sitting area with a good book, warming their feet beside the woodburning stove. When sleep calls, freshen up in the shower room, before cosying up for the night in one of the two well-presented bedrooms, with the option of a double with en-suite cloakroom, and a twin, which can be made as a double on request.

When the sun is shining, head outside into the decking space and toast marshmallows at the fire pit, dine alfresco, or enjoy an opulent soak in the hot tub in the enclosed garden. Aston on Clun is a small, home to village store, and the quaint, The Kangaroo Inn.

From here, you can also visit Craven Arms, for food, as well as the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre for an afternoon of entertainment. Explore Stokesay Castle or put on your hiking boots and venture into the stunning landscapes of the Shropshire Hills AONB, perfect for trekking, mountain biking, and birdwatching.

Here you may discover treks surrounding Clun Castle and Bury Ditches. Outside of the AONB, there are more attractions such as Wigmore Castle, Ludlow Castle, Croft Castle and Parkland (managed by the National Trust), and Berrington Hall (also managed by the National Trust).

Wayside Lodge Reviews

Shareen
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.
My family including my dog had an amazing stay here. It was very clean and the hot tub was clean and properly maintained too. We did have an issue trying to connect to the WiFi here so we just used our data but Im sure it would have been sorted out if we asked. Also the cabin is on a camping site which wasnt stated on Sykes site, but that wasnt a problem as it was nice and quiet in the evenings. We also discovered a wasp nest at the back of the cabin which we brought to the attention of Ian the owner So all in all we had great break away and would definitely go back again.

The lodge was beautiful, very clean and well kept, we felt at ease straight away. Perfect location for enjoying long walks and then relaxing in the hot tub. Have already recommended the place and will continue to. The staff were lovely and we came back with no complaints!
