Absolutely fabulous place, plenty of room, everything that you could need for a long stay. Mr and Mrs Richards were extremely accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We tried to rebook but alas it was already taken. Highly recommended.

The lodge was great everything we needed for a week away & stunning scenery. If you’re looking to eat in there is everything you need in the kitchen A huge variety of birds to see & hear including a cheeky one who knocks on the window 😂 Such a peaceful place to get away from everything.

We loved this lodge. It was peaceful with beautiful views. The lodge itself was comfortable and had all we needed. The water is from a spring so there is a slight odour to it but it didn't spoil the taste of my tea! The garden is fully enclosed so even my four legged little Houdini couldn't escape but the sheep can look in and made amusing neighbours.The roads up to the farm are very narrow single track once you get off the main road. The nearest place to buy groceries and get petrol was Minsterley about 15 minutes away and it's easy to get to bigger towns. Shrewsbury and Ludlow's Park and Ride were excellent.We would love to go back there again and recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet break in a beautiful location.
