Wilderness Lodge in Shropshire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Wilderness Lodge

Stunning rustic, wooden lodge nestled in the natural woodland at the foot of the Stiperstones Hill range, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty amidst the Shropshire Hills. Wilderness Lodge is the perfect destination for friends and family looking for a luxury getaway or a romantic break in perfect tranquil surroundings.

Beautifully furnished throughout in keeping with its rustic theme, the lodge is all on one floor. Head into the spacious open plan living area, which has many welcoming features including a woodburner, comfortable sofas, well-equipped kitchen and French doors opening out onto the surrounding decking.

From the open plan living area you will find a lovely bathroom and two double bedrooms, all stylishly furnished. On cool evenings the sitting area with its warming woodburner is the perfect place to relax or on warmer evenings there is ample space on the decking to sit back and gaze at the stars.

Whatever the time of day or year, the soothing hot tub will add that extra bit of luxury to your stay in this lovely wooden lodge. Outside, the decking extends around two sides of the lodge and overlooks the natural pond in the garden within the natural surroundings of this lovely wooded area.

The popular Stiperstones village pub and the local shop are just 10 minutes on foot, and there are wonderful scenic walks and mountain bike trails on your doorstep. Why not spend a day visiting the historic county town of Shrewsbury with its medieval architecture, individual shops, riverside walks and cafÃ©s and restaurants?

For history lovers the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge with its many museums, including the Living History Museum at Blists Hill is a must or perhaps touring round visiting the variety of National Trust properties and lovely gardens in the area might be more to your liking. There are many pretty towns and villages in this part of Shropshire, including Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Bridgnorth and Ludlow and if you want to venture further afield you are within easy travelling distance to Oswestry and across into Mid Wales.

Wilderness Lodge Reviews

Georgie

Wilderness Lodge suited me perfectly and I had a very quiet, comfortable and relaxing stay. The owners are lovely and I really hope to visit again.

Sandra

Honestly this place is a little gem , perfect location lovely cosy warm secluded log cabin with everything you could want you would have to go a log way to find better ! Loved the wood fired hot tub especially on a frosty dark winters night . 10 mins from the local pub and shop The atmosphere in the pub was full of locals and they made us feel very welcome , great home cooked food ,shops a little Aladdin's cave . would love to return one day, thank you Stuart & Carmen xx P.s the cake was yummy !!

Wilderness Lodge was an amazing, idyllic, beautiful place. Not even the wind and rain could take anything away from this lodge, in fact it gave it even more character especially with the Wood fire hot tub. Will definitely stay there again, a first class property with everything you could need. The mince pies left for us on arrival was a lovely touch.

Honestly amazing! The attention to detail is incredible. I really loved my stay, thank you!! A cute and cozy cabin to stay in.

Absolutely loved this lodge. Highly recommend a stay here. I cannot fault it! Situated in a secluded beautiful area. Carmen the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. This lodge is kitted out to the max and didnt want for anything. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Fantastic place, warm, cosy all mod cons, home from home but in a rural location, couldn't be a better retreat. A few little tweets could make it better still, but all in all a totally unique experience.

Adrian

Our second stay at the Wilderness Lodge and brilliant once again. Amazing countryside immediately outside, very friendly pub a short walk away and the Lodge itself beautiful.

This is our second stay here & we had a wonderful week, despite the weather! This lodge is just perfect if you want to get away from it all & enjoy the surrounding Shropshire hills. We absolutely love it here and I can see us returning again in a couple of years

Alexandra

Beautiful secluded Log Cabin! Facilities are spot on with the added bonus of fully functional broadband and sky glass tv! Bed is very comfy, shower very warm and pressure is great! Kitchen facilities are brilliant washing machine and dishwasher! Stunning views. Highly recommended! If you are a big walker as well this is the place for you, hills all around for challenging walking. And the pub location is accurate with a 15 minutes walk and the food is amazing! Book in advance though as they are very busy!

What a find , definitely correct the name Wilderness Cottage, very peaceful and idyllic and away from the hustle and bustle of life. Needed to stay longer as didnt get time to take advantage of the hot tub or venture up the hill to the amazing walks. Apart from a slight problem with the shower which the owner replied to me even though it was very late at night it was a comfortable, quiet place to stay and we were greeted with a delicious cake too. Looking forward to staying again in the future.

My wife and I really enjoyed our recent stay at Wilderness Lodge for our 30th wedding anniversary, the setting was idyllic, peaceful and just what we wanted, lovely evening walks to the local pub serving good honest pub grub. we can't wait to rebook and return next year. The lodge itself was well equipped, clean and relaxing.

Stunning lodge which really is wilderness, it has a little natural pond with running water which is beautiful to watch and listen too, also bird table has plenty of birds visiting and a squirrel. Plenty of lovely thick towels and well equipped lodge with board games, Netflix, WiFil, the local shop is a treasure with really competitive prices I only regret not having a longer stay could easily enjoyed a fortnight here.. well done owners you have a real gem Also I didnt check my room as thoroughly as I thought and had gotten almost all the way back to Yorkshire before I realised Id left my Barbour Gilet on the room door. Nothing was too much trouble when the owner contacted me, she had it returned in the mail that day sending me a receipt with tracking number and her compliments .. am blown away by the service thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for some peace and quiet

Daniel

Absolutely beautiful place and location, very clean, warm and cosy, very isolated but at the same time not too far from shops, also with the addition of decent broadband and good quality tv with sky glass and added extras, hot tub very relaxing, i could go on, could not find anything to fault, just perfect, would recommend to anyone.

The cabin was perfect. Everything we could of asked for. The walking routes were superb and the pub in the village well worth a visit for some food and a pint. Will defo be going back to stay again

Richard

Loved the three nights at this property. So atmospheric and relaxing in a beautiful area. Recommend the village shop Akkadians cave and a lovely local pub

Wonderful in every way. Will absolutely be returning.

Hayley

Beautiful and serene lodge in a beautiful location, would 100 visit again.

Samantha

Went for our 4th wedding anniversary and started off rough. About ten minutes from the lodge our car broke, but a lovely couple nearby drove me to the lodge and let my husband stay in their home while he waited 4 hours for RAC, lovely people in the area. Our expectations of the lodge where exactly what we were expecting. The lodge is amazing, peaceful, relaxing. We had everything we needed for our weekend. Exceptional place exactly as described. The hot tub was lovely once we finally got the temperature right, took a while to heat though. I would love to return for longer and definitely would recommend, worth every penny.

It was absolutely beautiful, so tranquil spotlessly clean and so cosy. We will definately go back. Thankyou so much. Gem & Chris xx

Adrian

Spotlessly clean. Beautifully presented. Idyllic location which was very peaceful and just what was needed. Return visit booked already

Georgina

The most stunning place Ive stayed with everything you need , truly amazing

A very peaceful stay surrounded by nature. Waking up to a view of the trees and birdssquirrels on the bird feeder was just what we were looking for. Perfect location for walkers with a woodfire hot tub to relax in the evenings takes a little while to get going but a lovely bonus. The local pub serves nice food and has very friendly staff. The lodge itself is private and cosy only recommendation would be to bring your own blankets as none are provided and we felt these were needed in the evenings especially if we wanted to sit outside with a good book and a cup of tea. Overall a wonderful relaxing stay

Angela

Wilderness Lodge is a real escape from busy daytoday life but with all the modern conveniences. It's clean and comfortable and a great base for exploring the Shropshire Hills and surrounding areas.

Enjoyed our stay! A lovely peaceful break.

The perfect place to relax. The cabin and location are beautiful and the wood burner and hot tub are just an added bonus. I can't recommend it enough.

Wilderness Lodge is a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. The property is clean and comfortable. Plenty of birds in the garden Nuthatch, Goldcrest, Jays, Pheasants & even an owl. The wood fired hot tub needed perseverance, but was great after long days out and about. There's access to walks from your door its a strenuous walk up to the Stiperstones but its well worth the effort. The Bog Visitors Centre is informative, includes a tea room with delicious cakes & is run by local volunteers. A 10 to 15min walk uphill on the way back! gets you to the local shop and pub. Thank you for a lovely weeks stay.

Our 4th time at the lodge and it is honestly the best holiday you can have. Absolute peace and quiet an amazing place to unwind and recharge.

Claire

The property was exactly as described secluded, tranquil and a real break away from it all. The hot tub was an absolute must after stomping all over the Stiperstones, and a delight watching the goldcrest and other birds bouncing around the trees while we were relaxing. The only minor complaint was that the bed was too soft for me, and the bedding used didn't really fit so had to be remade every day. But that was only a slight niggle in an otherwise flawless week.

Beautiful cabin with beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and may look at rebooking in the future.

This lodge is really beautiful and very well equipped. Stunning views and lovely fire and hot tub. There is no DVD player, but have all the channels, Netflix, I Player etc, can't really grumble, the track upto the lodge could do with redoing, lots of very uneven ground, not suitable for sports cars or very low suspension, as we struggled a bit in a mini.

Wilderness Lodge is exactly what is says a Lodge within the wildlife and countryside

Had an absolutely wonderful weekend everything we needed was there we didnt ... Had an absolutely wonderful weekend everything we needed was there we didnt have to worry about anything The lodge was very clean comfortable quiet and relaxing loved every second we was there and really didnt want to leave we could have just stayed there forevermore

The wilderness lodge is amazing. The lodge is in a fantastic position for adventuring and is clean and tidy and very well equipped. I will be booking again at some point. The local pub the stiperstones Inn is excellent value for money plus the shop next to it is a must just for everything it sells

Tracey

We've recently returned from a fabulous week at The Wilderness. It is so remote, so peaceful and in a stunning area. The 'road' to it is interesting but fine if you just take your time. The wildlife in the garden is plentiful, as are superb walks right from the door. The lodge itself is amazing, cosy, comfortable and warm with everything you could possibly need. The lemon cake waiting for us was delicious!! The pub at the bottom of the road is also great, we've been many times. We cannot wait to return.

Gurpreet

We loved this lodge! It was clean, warm and there was so much thought put into the facilities around the place like the extra towels, the extra kitchen stuff you can use and candles and lights around the place. We only had one downside which was the hot tub issue as its so cold it took too long to heat up but other than that this was perfect and the hosts are really kind and communicative. Thanks for letting us stay x

Property was amazing looks exactly the same as pictures, really clean too which was fab. Lovely homemade for us cake upon arrival. Only downside was the cook wear and kitchen utensils. We found it really difficult to cook with the pots and pans available and the knives were quite poor. We did go to the pub 1 night for food which was great but we ate in the rest of the time. Note to future bookers take all kitchen products required, there was no oil for cooking. Having had numerous self catering stays I found this odd as usually you find oil, sauces etc left by previous people. Needless to say there were plenty of trips to the local shop! The outside hot tub lights are broken and the door for the hot tub fire is also coming off its hinges few cosmetic changes required but all in all a great stay. Thank you!

Had a wonderful experience at wilderness lodge. Very traditional log cabin which made the holiday even more fabulous. The cake and fresh flowers are a really nice gesture. Oven easy to use, beds comfy, towels nice and soft, extra towels for hot tub. Hot tub easy , once got it going, just keep throwing logs at it. till it get hot. keep it going while your there..Didn't help having a very cold night the day before, its part of the experience. You are at the very end of the bridleway.where it start the walk to the Nature Reserve. Shop at the bottom of bridle way come road as everything, quite quirky and very friendly helpful staff. Stipperstones Inn very inviting and food lovely. I would have given full five stars but lights in hot tub don't work.. . Not sure if lights had worked whether it would have spoilt anything anyway. There is a light hung up to use. Will definitely be returning. with hot tub games and lights. Thank You June
