Stoney-Brook Lodge Reviews

It was very good and i wood go back tomorrow

Christine

This property was beautiful, there is so much thought gone into its position and design, the views are stunning and our doggy had a safe enclosed garden to sit in. We spent a week at StoneyBrook Lodge with the intention of relaxing and winding down which we absolutely did.The weather was kind to us and we were able to make the most of this excellent Lodge. Marie our host is lovely and popped over on the day of our arrival to make sure all was well. Everything was spotlessly clean and the towels and bedding were of decent quality. The only slight negative was that the wifi could be a bit patchy, which may be due to the terrain. My only suggestion would be for Marie to include a little more information in the folder with regard to local facilities, maybe including things such as local doctors, pharmacy, taxi service and maybe recommended take aways etc. I would without hesitation recommend StoneyBrook Lodge and would most certainly book it again in the future. Many thanks to Marie for our lovely stay.

We stayed here in early March and have to say Stoney Brook Lodge is just about perfect. Everything is wellmaintained and well looked after with the outside seating area and hot tub being a huge attraction. The owner, Marie, is very helpful as well, allowing us to get into the property ahead of time when we arrived earlier than expected and offering help and advice on the local area. The location is sublime, its blissfully quiet and secluded with the most incredible views to the west and the Welsh hills. A short drive away and there are two supermarkets should you need them and the beautiful town of Ludlow. Due to unfortunate circumstances we couldn't explore further but we will be back to pick up where we left off.

What a gem of a property. Met owner Marie shortly after arriving who was very friendly. Lodge and surroundings are beautiful, views from the Lodge were stunning once the mistlow cloud had cleared

We stayed for a week at stoney lodge. While the weather wasnt 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

Fantastic place, and staff were so helpful. They let us know when we could get into the lodge before time allocated. Peaceful and quiet, restaurant on site with lovely food., near to places of interest. Cannot find a fault. Lovely holiday was had.

A perfect peaceful retreat with stunning views, stargazing dark skies, perfect outdoor space for family and canine pets to have fun. We had the best holiday at Stoney Brook lodge, the hot tub and outdoor space were very well used. The dogs had a blast playing freely on the lawn which was fully enclosed and having walks up the hill where the views were even more amazing. It was such a lovely home from home we only left a few times to visit Ludlow for supplies and to eat out, just a 15 minute pleasant drive and a real gem of a market town. Marie the owner was lovely and on hand to check the hot tub and help with anything we might have needed. We will be going back and may try the other lodge just for a change as that also looks superb. There's lots to do within an hour's drive, we visited Ironbridge on the way home which was about 50 minutes in the car. For some folk the lack of a washing machine, dryer may be an issue but we managed fine as weather was great and there was a line and drying rack. The lane up to the lodge is narrow so drive slowly and carefully, we had to reverse into a passing place a couple times through the week but no big deal, the plus point is there is very very little traffic and so peaceful it's worth it. This place is now at the top of our perfect holiday stays list and great value for money too.

Sheila

The cottage was beautiful, very clean and very well looked after. Everything we needed was there. Loved the outdoor seating area. It was the prefect place for us all to sit outdoors and enjoy the scenery. Marie the owner was extremely welcoming and friendly, she was there if when we needed her, and the extra little touches she left for us on an arrival where prefect. Would highly recommend this cottage and would stay here again.

Stunning location, lovely accommodation, our host Marie went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

Kirsty

Amazing little break with the kids! Weather wasn't great but with the hot tub and plenty of board games supplied we were happy! The covered patio area is a treat and the views are incredible. The dog loved it and had a huge area to run around safely whilst we through his ball for him. The cottage is classic and homely and Marie is on hand if you need her! She's amazing and really made us feel comfortable to relax on hand if we needed extra fire wood or sheets! Perfect host! Will 100 be returning!

Charlotte

My mum and I had a lovely stay at StoneyBrook Lodge with our dog. The property was very clean and comfortable and the setting is beautiful and peaceful with the sound of the stream nearby. We enjoyed the covered outside seating and the hot tub with the views. The property was cosy and warm, particularly with the wood burner in the evenings. There is a great walk further up from the property and Ludlow is only a short drive away. Marie is a great host, very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay and Im sure well be back in future!

Christine

Lovely stay. Hot tub and outdoor area a great addition to our stay.

Denise

We had a lovely week in the lodge, It was exactly as the photos showed. Very clean well equipped and welcoming, the views were amazing. Although we had pretty cold weather including snow the lodge was never cold, we only lite the log burner for the effect and to be cosy. Fabulous outside kitchenseating area next to the hot tub which was also lovely, clean and well maintained. Marie was also lovely and made sure we knew she was close if she was needed. We would love to go again in the future .

Sarah-jane

What a beautiful cottage, decorating to a high standard with a fantastic outdoor area to take in the amazing views. Everything you need. We all had a great time and will be returning. Maria is a great host.

Jennifer

We had a fantastic week at the cottage in November. Hot tub was a great way to relax after exploring the area with the dogs. Cottage was comfortable and well appointed. Despite the time of year we managed to get some lovely views across the valley, especially around sunrise and sunset. Marie was friendly and helpful when required. She left us to enjoy our break but was always available if we needed anything.

Melanie

This is my second stay at Stoney Brook and I love it, Marie is super helpful and made me feel at home. I travel alone, and this time with my cats who didn't enjoy it so much if you want to bring cats then you can rest assured that there are two wardrobes perfect for them to hide above all week apparently. My cats don't dash out the door which is handy as the cottage is open plan so they'd be straight out if they did, and Marie didn't bat an eye about me rearranging the furniture to accomodate my needs. I think she's got the level of equipment just right, I stayed for a week and there was everything I wanted to hand. The location is just stunning, you can't see any other houses from the windows and hot tub and it is so relaxing. The bed is super comfortable and the duvet and pillows are really nice too. I didn't try the TV so can't comment on that but the wifi was really good, stable and fast and worked in the hot tub too. I feel the cold, but with the electric heater on and the wood burner going it got toasty pretty quick. The outside area is stunning and even while inside the cottage you can hear a brook nearby, a nice touch while you are in the hot tub.

Katharine

StoneyBrook Lodge is a little slice of heaven. Its spotlessly clean, well appointed with all the touches of home, making it a really comfortable and effortless stay, but its the setting that makes this place stunning. The view is just wonderful. And being able to sit in either the hot tub or the outdoor lounge area and enjoy it felt like the height of luxury and relaxation. The owners are nearby if you have any issues we had none but are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I cant recommend StoneyBrook Lodge highly enough. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I hope were back in beautiful Shropshire very soon.

Joanne

The property would benefit from having a table and chairs on the veranda we do like to sit outside in the mornings with a coffee and take in the view but we couldn't do that There was nowhere to put our rubbish outside therefore animals got into the bags outside Another of the jets on the hot tub was not working as they should be The TV was too small for the room sounded very tinny when trying to watch a film There was not enough baking trays for the oven There was not any microwave containers The picture needs to be changed on sykes website because it is old due to what the property looks like now we was very Dissappointed and that is the first of everyone's impressions ,the flooring needs attention due to in the living and kitchen area The windows need attention Freezer was not big enough for a family In the food cupboard there was jars still at least half full or more with it being well over date! ! Should of been binned

Absolutely amazing lodge, we loved the outside space, the hot tub in particular. Its the perfect set up. Thanks for an awesome time.

A wonderful place to stay with everything you need to be home from home and more with lovely views and hot tub. thanks for a great holiday

Lovely location, hot tub and views were fabulous

We could not fault this lovely little cottage. To get away from everyday life and just relax. Cottage was ideal, beds so comfortable. And bonus to have the jacuzzi on site, especially in the evening as the sun set with a view overlooking the valley. We needed some tips on the log fire and John was straight over to explain and with enough wood for our stay. Would definitely come back to such a beautiful place. Thank you Marie for everything.

Brilliant location, lodge and owners. Had an amazing time walking in clee hills and the picturesque surroundings. The owners were really helpful and we'd definitely want to come back

A total rural gem and oasis of calm, the outside space really made it for us as a family. The outdoor kitchen area and hot tub were perfect, and we made full use of them. Fabulous location for exploring the surrounding area by day and chilling by night. Marie was lovely reassuringly there if needed but not intrusive thank you.

Claire

What a wonderful week away! Marie was so accommodating to our needs and was close at hand if we needed her. The property and the views are breathtaking. Space inside is tight but with the all weather outside area it doubles the available space during all types of weather. Very comfortable and cosy. Lots to do around Bedlam giving plenty of days out as well a lazy days in the hot tub. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you again Marie

Nicola

This was our second visit to the property. The last one was for a weekend in December and we wanted to experience it in the summer. We had a lovely week. Marie left us some milk and cake and checked to see if we needed any wood for the log burner because it was a bit chilly for June. We knew we could ask if we needed anything but we didn't and we were left to ourselves. It's a lovely secluded place, just a short walk up the hill there's the footpath for the Shropshire Way. We enjoyed the hot tub and the views from it over the fields. You can see for miles. It's amazing. The lodge is lovely and comfortable, spacious but with a cosy feel. There are no negatives at all. I'd love to go again.

The property was in a lovely area with stunning views from the accommodation. However the property as nice as it was could do with a little tlc As it is looking a bit tired in places. The out building with hot tub and bbq is a nice touch. Like I said nice property but needs a little money put back into it.

Gorgeous lodge in a stunning location! The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. The lodge was really nice with lovely decor. What sets this property apart is the outside space and the incredible view! Yes its remote but this is clear in the details and thats the appeal for us. We loved being able to walk our dogs straight from our lodge up Clee Hill. Our dogs loved the gardenfield but just a note to say it isnt fully enclosed, it has a drop one side down to the brook and our dogs kept disappearing into the bushes behind the lodge looking for pheasants! It wasnt a problem for us but worth noting if your dogs are more adventurous!

Property was as described in a beautiful secluded area. Marie came to introduce herself to us & brought wood for the log burners. Nothing was too much trouble as we needed to contact about something & she came over in minutes. We would recommend this property if you need to relax & chill out.

We had an amazing stay over Christmas 2021. The lodge is beautiful, warm and inviting, made more so by the little extra touches of a Christmas tree and a welcome bottle of Prosecco and mince pies . It was extremely cosy and very warm, especially with the log burner lit. We especially enjoyed the hot tub looking out over the wonderful views, we couldnt have asked for a better way to spend Christmas, completely relaxed and chilled. Marie and Neil were fantastic, very supportive and helpful. We will definitely be returning for Christmas again, thank you.

Great visit to StoneyBrook. Just as described, very clean and comfortable. Excellent outdoor space to reflex, plus the hot tub is an added bonus. Marie, the owner very helpful if anything is needed during your stay. We will be back next year, highly recommend this lovely place.

Denise

The views from this property are truly amazing. Hot tub added bonus. Relaxing atmosphere.

Melanie

I didn't know what to expect as recently some of stays the places haven't matched up to the photos, but this place was genuinely better than the photos! Completely secluded, convieniently located and supplied with everything and more I could want! It is a neat little place and comfortable with it. I took a holiday alone and brought some bits to keep me occupied which meant moving the furniture around but the owner didn't mind at all, I just used the place as I wished, I've booked again for next year.

Stuart

Stunning location. Great lodge and outdoor area creating a very social environment. Host, Marie, was amazing. 1010 all around. Lodge, cleanliness, outdoor area, host etc,

If you want peace and quiet, fantastic views and a beautiful cabin then this is the place for you! The outside space is phenomenal and the hot tub completed a perfect holiday. We had a great mix of days out plus relaxing days at home, it really is in a fantastic location and easy to get to as the directions are foolproof. There are books and games at the lodge we took our own but really wasnt necessary and we found it well equipped, plenty of room for us and we are a family of 4 grown up children. Marie, who owns the property called us when the lodge was ready and was only a short trip away if we needed anything. She is lovely and helpful. We took our own towels for the hot tub towels are provided but its nice to keep the lodge towels for showers etc and packed robesdressing gowns to pop on after the hot tub. Marie checks the hot tub during the stay so you know its all running fine, theres also a hose pipe to top up the tub should you need to. I highly recommend Stoney Brook Lodge, 1010 You will not regret booking this, we really had the best family break there!

Chantal

We have had a wonderful week away. Photos don't do justice to that amazing view and the outdoor area was perfect to sit out even if it rains. The garden isn't fenced all the way round but our dog never ventured from the lawn area so it should be fine for most the areas that aren't fenced are surrounded by shrubslong grass. It would have been nice to have dressing gowns for getting out of the hot tub and a couple of hooks to hang our towels on but we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stoneybrooke Lodge to our friends so thank you again Marie for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic lodge with great facilities and a stunning view across the hills we will be back.

Deborah

We had a wonderful time at StoneyBrook Lodge, the living areas were very comfortable with everything you could need for a great holiday. The outside area is incredible, its such a party area! We used the hot tub every day and the kids really enjoyed roasting marshmallows on the fire. The weather was brilliant all week so we were out there at every opportunity. Clee Hill is just above the property and is a great walk, the view from the top is amazing. We took our dogs up there a few times and they had a whale of a time. We would definitely recommend staying here and would visit again. The only feedback we thought of during our stay was that it would be even more perfect if it had a couple more bedrooms so a larger group could stay as the outdoor area is definitely perfect for groups.

Gorgeous cottage, amazing outside space. Loved cooking steak on the grill and sitting in the hot tub with that view! Worth the drive out to the various places we wanted to visit with our 7 year old. The Habberley Trail, West Mid Safari Park, Ironbridge. Make sure you walk up the 'incline' from the lodge to the old quarry buildings, got some great eerie industrial photos up there. Only complaint is that the directions to the property not very accurate and the postcode in the sat nav took us to the wrong place. No sign for Bedlam until you actually reach Bedlam and it's not on any map!? Two entrances to Bitterley from the A road, both 1 12 miles not 1!

We had a fabulous 4 nights stay at Stoneybrook Lodge. Marie and Neil were excellent hosts and couldn't do enough for us! Amazing location overlooking the beautiful countryside, great location for exploring the wonderful landscape. A visit to the Ludlow Farm Shop c10 minutes away is a must, as is a trip to the Ludlow Brewery!
