Guests say
Callow Lodge 15 in Shrewsbury offers a tranquil and picturesque setting, with guests praising the peaceful environment, friendly staff, and the quality of the on-site restaurant. The lodge provides a comfortable stay with added luxuries such as a hot tub, though some guests noted minor maintenance issues and cleanliness oversights. The site's adult-only policy and serene location make it ideal for a relaxing retreat.
Guests generally found the lodge to be clean, but there were a few mentions of cobwebs, a dusty lodge upon arrival, and floors that could have been cleaned better. These instances suggest room for improvement in cleanliness standards.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to Shrewsbury, and the availability of local facilities. The picturesque setting and wildlife contribute to a serene experience, although one review mentioned difficulty in finding the park due to signage issues.
The lodge is described as comfortable and relaxing, with a peaceful atmosphere. However, some guests suggested improvements such as additional seating and better-fitting toilet seats, indicating that while comfort is generally high, there are areas that could be enhanced.
Facilities like the hot tub, restaurant, and fishing lakes are appreciated, but guests reported maintenance issues such as loose handles and fraying carpets. Conflicting information about facility use and restrictions also affected the experience.
While guests were pleasantly surprised by welcome prosecco and essentials provided, there is insufficient information to determine if such gestures are consistent or guaranteed, thus a score cannot be accurately given.

It was very comfortable. Nice view outside as well. The occasional duck waddling past.

Great fishing, nice exercise area for our dog. A nice walk to a lovely pub. Only a couple of criticisms of the lodge would benefit by having a mirror/full length mirror. Only mirrors were in bathroom and it could do with a clothes airer to dry towels ect. Other than that spot on!!
