Hot Tub was great to have and used daily. Small gym and games room available. Plenty of things to do in the area. The sculpture park at Oswestry was fantastic, any kids will love it. The Pound was great food at reasonable prices, and open all day(12 miles).

From the moment we arrived, everything felt so welcoming and thoughtful. The little touches like the cake, wine, and chocolate that were left for us really made it feel extra special and were so appreciated. The lodge itself was spotless, cozy, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The hot tub was amazing â warm, clean, and the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely go again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape or a special place to celebrate! (The Olde Cow Shed)
