While the weather wasnât good the amenities made up for it. The outdoor covered area and covered hot tub could be used anytime. The lodge was a great base for walks and close to the market town Ludlow. Marie (owner) was available if we needed anything and was very friendly. We had a very relaxing time. Simon our little frenchie really enjoyed the secure garden. Hope to return in the future. Regards Sue, Bob & Simon. Xx
