Wilderness Lodge Reviews

Fantastic cabin, got everything you need, fully equipped kitchen. Very peaceful and secluded area. Lovely walks. Nice local pub and shop.
We left notes in the visitor book but was amazing. So comfy and some great touches to make it homely. We had a wonderful time. Some of the lights by the hot tub werent working was the only thing that would need checking.
Wilderness lodge is a beautiful place to stay . It is situated in some stunning countryside. So very peaceful and relaxing. Would highly recommend this lodge.
This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay, peacefully buried amongst the hills and woods. The character of the Lodge has been carefully created and it is comfortable and spacious. Location near a well stocked shop AND good pub is excellent although anyone with a low sports car might struggle with the lane to the property. Recommended additions for even more perfection would be a shaving socket in bathrooms for shaver or electric toothbrush and lidded bin for outdoor rubbish it is raided by the wildlife. Wonderful place thank you.
Beautiful lodge set in lovely peaceful surroundings. Enjoyed the visiting wildlife birds & squirrels the lodge was clean and well equipped. We loved our stay there. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a fairly remote place to stay & enjoy.
First class lodge in very pretty and secluded, peaceful setting. The only downside was how dark it is inside, lights needed to be on all the time. Otherwise it was great, surrounded by great scenery and lots of local walks. The local friendly pub served good food and lots to do in this part of Shropshire.
The lodge is absolutely lovely, so warm and welcoming bed extremely comfy, has everything you need to cook in the kitchen. Only thing missing was a bath the shower was not great atall, hot tub was a fab extra but we missed the jetbubbles. The surroundings are beautiful, most peaceful tranquility weve felt in ages. The downhill walk was rough but worth it for the views, the shop and pub was nice but food wasnt up to our standards. I would definitely go again if they installed a bath. The owners were just lovely spoke a few times on the phone, and throughly enjoyed the cake that was left for us thank you
Amanda
The lodge had everything we needed and then some. Very comfortable , cosy and tastefully decorated. Very peaceful surroundings. With birds and squirrels everywhere. We were reluctant to leave. Our stay was perfect
Fantastic property in amazing surroundings. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We very much enjoyed our stay. Great pub and shop at the bottom of the lane, well worth a visit or two. It is quite a steep walk back up the lane to the lodge though. Some great, if a little tiring, walks in the area too. Just 2 minor issues, the shower is far too small and the wood fired hot tub took an entire day to heat up to a reasonably comfortable temperature and needed constant feeding so we couldn't go anywhere. Fix these issues, ie electric hot tub and larger walk in shower, and we'd be booking annually.
That was our second stay at the Cabin Wilderness Lodge
The only negative we had was the hot tub which you had to light and heat up to ... The only negative we had was the hot tub which you had to light and heat up to much hassle other than that the place was amazing
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.
