About this property
Garden Lodge
Garden Lodge is a wonderful destination for a couples getaway. The owners have lovingly built the lodge in the grounds of their own home and have left no stone unturned when it comes to considering the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. Set in its own private spot, the large doors of the lodge open up onto the wooden decking area with the private hot tub surrounded by the lush green garden. There is space to sit out in the warm summer evenings, cooking on the BBQ and enjoying the sounds from the garden waterfall.
The open-plan kitchen and living room is large and well-proportioned. The wood-panelled walls give the lodge a warm and cosy feel whilst the grand fireplace under the smart TV will guarantee guests are kept snug even on the coldest nights. The kitchen comes well-stocked with all the amenities guests would need to cook up a feast and there is also a handy utility room next door housing a washing machine and dryer.
Off the main living space lies the large bedroom with its ensuite shower room. Large French doors open up from the bedroom onto the wooden decking area and make it a lovely spot to arise from a relaxing night's sleep and enjoy a coffee and catch the morning sun.
There is private, off-road parking for one car and an EV car charger for electric vehicles.
Garden Lodge is located 1.4 miles from Craven Arms and 7 miles from Church Stretton, It is perfectly located for those wanting to explore the beautiful county of Shropshire. Craven Arms has a variety of shops, a hotel with bar and restaurant, takeaways, cafes, as well as the lovely Stokesay Castle and the nearby Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre with its virtual balloon ride over Shropshire.
The Annexe is strictly no smoking and is not suitable for children.
Please note that there will be no BBQ from end of October to 1st April for guests to use.

This is a lovely lodge, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and a real chill out.
Host Pauline is great, it’s very private and not overlooked and the hot tub is a real bonus. Don’t hesitate to book a stay here.

Had a fantastic stay, hot tub was amazing after a long hike in the hills.
Very close to all amenities. Hosts were very welcoming, hoping to move there soon once we have sold our house. Loved every minute.

Fabulous Break
A 5 Star property with a Hot Tub bonus, it could be a 5 Star Plus with a few tweaks ( Bedding, Mattress, Replace Cleaning Cloths, Perhaps a Parasol for shade outside).Fabulous area with loads to see & do. Host was very informative and friendly would certainly go back and thoroughly recommend this property.

Amazing, was our second time visiting
Me and my partner stayed here a year ago and loved it so much we came back again. It's such a lovely cozy place and the hot tub is great, especially as it's undercover so it's perfect even if it rains.
Only issue I found is that the mattress was a little hard for my liking but still a comfy bed

Really lovely accommodation, me and my partner both said the pictures didn't do it justice!
The hot tub was amazing, the place was very clean and tidy when we arrived. There was so much storage and had everything we needed! Lots of places to visit nearby and the scenery was absolutely stunning! The hosts were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, they really had thought of everything!

Great stay overall for Christmas
We loved how the property was decorated for Christmas. There was a lot of facilities in the kitchen which made cooking very easy and had everything we needed. Lots of storage space for clothes and lots of space throughout the property. We really liked the utility room and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Great hosts who met us on arrival and showed us how to operate everything and gave a tour.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
Garden lodge
The property was was of a high standard and very clean, everything was thought about. However, it's situated near a very busy and noisy road which we were not aware of, so the noise of the constant traffic was difficult. Its also near to the entrance of a very large business.

Beautiful private oasis
Everything. The location was local to lots of places. Privacy was lovely. It was very peaceful. The owners lived onsite so any problems and they are there. Highly recommend
The shower. Heat of water was uncontrollable.
