About this property
Bridgnorth 3.9 miles.The Garden Lodge is a delightful, single storey lodge set in the owner’s extensive mature garden, within the hamlet of Criddon. The lodge was a former Air Force barracks wash house but now offers a romantic retreat for couples looking to escape normal life and see what Shropshire has to offer. Boasting an open-plan living space, here you can prepare home-cooked meals within the kitchen before settling down in front of the TV, choosing a good film to watch as you ease into the evening. Move into the double bedroom to catch your rest, housing ample storage plus an en-suite shower room where you prepare for the day. The wow factor of this property is the gorgeous garden, boasting almost an acre of mature trees and shrubs, making this is an ideal base for any naturalist or garden lover. The patio area is perfect for alfresco dining on a balmy evening or for sitting under the stars toasting marshmallows over the firepit. Venture into Bridgnorth in search of a souvenir to take back home, before stopping off at a traditional pub or restaurant to quench your thirst and sample a delicious meal. The surrounding area is filled with natural beauty; explore country parks, impressive houses, museums and picturesque Shropshire villages, as well as easy access to the Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford, and Ironbridge Gorge, considered the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. History lovers will be drawn to the 16th century Elizabethan manor, Upton Cressett Hall or the remains of Bridgnorth Castle, a 12th century structure that was demolished upon Oliver Cromwell’s orders. The River Severn is not far away and provides an idyllic setting for riverside walks and cycles. The Garden Lodge offers a delightful base for couples to call home, providing access to many quaint towns and villages in Shropshire.

The market town of Bridgenorth rests in the county of Shropshire in the heart of England. The River Servern splits the town into two parts; The High Town and the Low Town. The town was once considered one of the busiest river ports in Europe, but nowadays, the Severn, clear and unpolluted, is a quiet haven for anglers, walkers and wildlife. Within the town there is a choice of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, along with a lively Saturday market where visitors can pick up local goodies.

Our thanks to Liz and Andrew, the hosts, who are very friendly and want to ensure you have a positive experience. To have the use of a car is essential here unless you take plenty of food and plan just a rest or a walking holiday.
