Needed a place close to Shropshire to visit rellys - my wife found this online and the photos and reviews were stellar. The longest, twistiest single lane country road with flocks of bantams took 15 minutes to reach the lodge from theain A road. Crazy! Fortunately, no one came the other direction so only the wildlife provided the hazards. The lodge is a converted barn/stables/something old and quirky. It has wifi and very polite staff. Nod to Winter and Tomasz who made our first night with great wine and cider, nibbles and such. This is a fine dining restaurant (no room service) and what is on the menu is just that- no exceptions. I overheard that the menu does not change much; seasonally I think so maybe not dine here for your entire stay as it is rich dining, too. Not a fan of rich fancy dining but it was well prepared and presented. No AIR CON but a fan is supplied to make you feel the hot air circulate around you. Breakfast was very good locally sourced fare. Really very good. The lodge is close to Ludlow where they have many concerts which must be fun and certainly would look at making this part of our next visit to this part of the world but be aware only small twisty roads so no motorways and plenty of slow moving heavy farm machinery to ensure a long leisurely drive.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Truly seduced by the rustic beauty of this glorious cluster of old farm buildings. Absolutely LOVED our room. This whole place gives you privacy and a bespoke experience. Even having a cheeky beer outside was private because of the box hedges around each table and all the mature quintessentially British fauna. Such friendly staff who could not do enough and always smiled! No room service but we were allowed to bring a breakfast plate to our rooms so we're chuffed to bits!! Have already set an intention to return .

The room was lovely as were the staff and there was a very well stocked bar!

A superb mini break, could not fault anything.

Our 3rd visit in just over 12 months, we love it here. When the suns out it’s even better, being able to sit and have a drink in the manicured gardens. Of course the highlight is the food, simply superb, a little pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.

Really lovely spot, stayed for one night before the races at Ludlow which is 15 minutes away. Had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant. Stayed in room 8 which has a 4 poster and a large bathroom. Staff were excellent.

Lovely location lovely staff!

What a find! We were so impressed with everything we found that we stayed an extra night. The food is exceptional- the dinner was outstanding and even the breakfast is a feast. The staff make an effort to provide a warm and helpful atmosphere. The rooms are luxurious with carefully chosen extras. The Courtyard garden is full of box hedges and bulbs. A joy!

Disappointed with this venue after reading so many good reviews. Overall it looks dated and rather tired but the setting is beautiful and the staff were very pleasant. The food was very good and we enjoyed the tastes and textures the chef put together

A very refined country hotel, fine dining was excellent quality. Vey helpful and friendly staff. Away from the hustle and bustle . An very well stocked bar with good wines and an extensive whisky selection. I cannot recommend it enough

Great old property with great rooms friendly staff

Lovely place to stay. Out in the countryside with lots of good walks. Excellent restaurant and great service.

I have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants but this was as good as these. Room was impeccable and staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Every possible detail had been considered, from the umbrella hanging outside the room, to the pre dinner nibbles.

Great food, lovely accommodation, relaxing environment, this was out second visit, but will be back many more times I'm sure !

Fine but very expensive for what it was. Bed and seats very old and uncomfortable. Also very isolated so a long drive on pot-holed lanes.

What a beautiful place to stay at ! A real gem that we were lucky enough to stumble upon. We will certainly be back one day and recommend to all our friends. Faultless !!!!!!

Excellent service.

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. Great restaurant, bar and room and fantastic service. Tasting menu was a real treat and well worth it.

Wonderful. Cannot rate eco friendly as no idea what is required. Bedside lights were not good for reading in bed and would have preferred squashy armchairs or sofa to the sit up and beg armchairs. Small criticisms. Food was exceptional and it was peaceful and quiet in gorgeous countryside.

We were going for a night away. It was convenient to drive to. The meal was very good and the service was also good. The waiting staff were very attentive at both the evening meal and breakfast. Beautiful countryside.
