About Wilderness Lodge

Wilderness Lodge is a stunning wooden retreat tucked at the foot of the Stiperstones Hill range in Shropshire. This rustic log cabin sits in natural woodland within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Complete seclusion without isolation - you'll hear birds and flowing water but not a single car.

The setting is pure magic. Wild squirrels visit daily and the natural pond creates a soothing soundtrack. Stiperstones village is just a 10-minute walk away with its friendly pub (great food) and surprisingly well-stocked shop. Direct access to spectacular hill walks right from your doorstep lets you explore the dramatic Shropshire Hills without driving anywhere.

The lodge sleeps 4 in two bedrooms - one king-size double with en-suite basin and WC, plus a twin room. There's a shower room with WC and the open-plan living area features a kitchen with all mod cons (dishwasher, washing machine), dining space and sitting area with a cosy woodburning stove. Modern comforts meet rustic charm with Sky Glass TV and reliable WiFi.

Nearby attractions include Church Stretton (8 miles), historic Shrewsbury (12 miles), Ironbridge and Attingham Park. Bishop's Castle is just 12 miles away, while Ludlow with its food scene is a 27-mile drive.

Wilderness Lodge delivers perfect peaceful escapes. The log-fired hot tub might take effort to heat (worth every minute), but nothing beats stargazing from steaming water with a favourite drink.. Like the guest who wrote "what a gem" - you'll be planning your return before you leave.

Wilderness Lodge Reviews

Kirsty
Wilderness Lodge is exactly as described. The owners were very responsive and helpful when a minor glitch occurred. The setting is perfect for walkers and those wanting peace and quiet with beautiful surroundings. The cabin was amazing , clean and comfortable with all the amenities that you need .
Our perfect retreat. Our second visit this year to wilderness lodge. It's simply perfect. Wonderful location yet in easy walking distance to the lovely village of Stiperstones. With its great pub and village store, which i think sells everything. The lodge has everything you need for a short or long stay. Its beautifully presented on arrival with fresh flowers and a cake. The beds are the most comfortable ones I've ever slept in. The kitchen has everything you need with a fantastic array of utensils and pots and pans! We loved just sitting out on the front listening to nothing only bird song.the hot tub was amazing, and you have so many options for seating around the outside of the lodge everyone can find their favorite spot to chill out.Thank you Carmen and family for having such a wonderful bolt hole. It's honestly one of a kind. And we are planning a break later in the year already
Adrian
Our third visit and there is a sound reason for that. Wonderful place, totally peaceful and a real and welcome break to spend time in.
Beautiful cosy little place with a great shop that literally sells everything and the pub is really friendly and great food. Second time visiting and will def return again. 5
Wilderness Lodge is Amazing we have stayed 3 times now over 3 Yrs. The Cabin has excellent facilities and the surrounding area is amazing. Walking in the Hills is Great and easy access to the village Pub which is really cosy good food and drink and very Friendly.
Wonderful setting, so peaceful. The accommodation was so unique and built to such a high standard. Well equipped property. Great place for walks. Would really recommend & look forward to staying again.
Had a lovely 3 night break here for my partners birthday with our two friends. The lodge is out of this world!!! The decor is simply amazing and compliments the wooden lodge so much. Sofas and beds comfortable, great bathroom facilities and the kitchen has so much you can comfortably cook great meals for your self. The outside is just as perfect. So relaxing hearing the stream flowing, birds tweeting. We didn't hear a single car during our stay. The wood fired hot tub was good but took a lot of work to get going. Took 4 hours and a lot of wood to get to a temperature where we could comfortably get in but was worth it in the end. Also loved the fresh homemade carrot cake and flowers left for our arrival. Lovely touch! All in all, fantastic stay and would book again.
Gareth
It take a lot more than 3 hours to heat the Hottub but thank you anyway loved it. Will be back I hope soon.
Sharon
Its a fabulous cabin, great location, beautifully decorated and furnished. We had a great week, and will return for sure.
Joanne
Beautiful property and beautifully decorated. We stayed over the Christmas and loved every minute. Will definitely be back!
Really great 'getaway' location for walking the hills and enjoying the panoramic views. The lodge is remarkably warm and cosy we stayed three nights with very cold wind outside even without using the woodburning stove. Kitchen is clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Hot water no problem. We liked the lodge very much and hope to stay again. PS The quirky little shop next to the pub down the lane seems to sell almost everything!
Amanda
What a gem. We will definitely try and return in the near future. We had an amazing stay. It is a perfect retreat with everything you need to hunker down and relax. Or if you like walking, you will be in your element. I highly recommend the Wilderness lodge.
The Wilderness Lodge was a delight. Arriving to see such a super location and opening the door to find such cosy accommodations. It was spotlessly clean throughout and equipped with everything one could need. For me location was key, to be able to walk from the door and up into the Stiperstones Nature Reserve was perfect. I loved the dark skies and the peace and quiet. The cake was lovely, too!
Fantastic cabin, got everything you need, fully equipped kitchen. Very peaceful and secluded area. Lovely walks. Nice local pub and shop.
We left notes in the visitor book but was amazing. So comfy and some great touches to make it homely. We had a wonderful time. Some of the lights by the hot tub werent working was the only thing that would need checking.
Wilderness lodge is a beautiful place to stay . It is situated in some stunning countryside. So very peaceful and relaxing. Would highly recommend this lodge.
This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay, peacefully buried amongst the hills and woods. The character of the Lodge has been carefully created and it is comfortable and spacious. Location near a well stocked shop AND good pub is excellent although anyone with a low sports car might struggle with the lane to the property. Recommended additions for even more perfection would be a shaving socket in bathrooms for shaver or electric toothbrush and lidded bin for outdoor rubbish it is raided by the wildlife. Wonderful place thank you.
Beautiful lodge set in lovely peaceful surroundings. Enjoyed the visiting wildlife birds & squirrels the lodge was clean and well equipped. We loved our stay there. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a fairly remote place to stay & enjoy.
First class lodge in very pretty and secluded, peaceful setting. The only downside was how dark it is inside, lights needed to be on all the time. Otherwise it was great, surrounded by great scenery and lots of local walks. The local friendly pub served good food and lots to do in this part of Shropshire.
The lodge is absolutely lovely, so warm and welcoming bed extremely comfy, has everything you need to cook in the kitchen. Only thing missing was a bath the shower was not great atall, hot tub was a fab extra but we missed the jetbubbles. The surroundings are beautiful, most peaceful tranquility weve felt in ages. The downhill walk was rough but worth it for the views, the shop and pub was nice but food wasnt up to our standards. I would definitely go again if they installed a bath. The owners were just lovely spoke a few times on the phone, and throughly enjoyed the cake that was left for us thank you
Amanda
The lodge had everything we needed and then some. Very comfortable , cosy and tastefully decorated. Very peaceful surroundings. With birds and squirrels everywhere. We were reluctant to leave. Our stay was perfect
Fantastic property in amazing surroundings. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We very much enjoyed our stay. Great pub and shop at the bottom of the lane, well worth a visit or two. It is quite a steep walk back up the lane to the lodge though. Some great, if a little tiring, walks in the area too. Just 2 minor issues, the shower is far too small and the wood fired hot tub took an entire day to heat up to a reasonably comfortable temperature and needed constant feeding so we couldn't go anywhere. Fix these issues, ie electric hot tub and larger walk in shower, and we'd be booking annually.
That was our second stay at the Cabin Wilderness Lodge
The only negative we had was the hot tub which you had to light and heat up to ... The only negative we had was the hot tub which you had to light and heat up to much hassle other than that the place was amazing
Georgie
Wilderness Lodge suited me perfectly and I had a very quiet, comfortable and relaxing stay. The owners are lovely and I really hope to visit again.
Sandra
Honestly this place is a little gem , perfect location lovely cosy warm secluded log cabin with everything you could want you would have to go a log way to find better ! Loved the wood fired hot tub especially on a frosty dark winters night . 10 mins from the local pub and shop The atmosphere in the pub was full of locals and they made us feel very welcome , great home cooked food ,shops a little Aladdin's cave . would love to return one day, thank you Stuart & Carmen xx P.s the cake was yummy !!
Wilderness Lodge was an amazing, idyllic, beautiful place. Not even the wind and rain could take anything away from this lodge, in fact it gave it even more character especially with the Wood fire hot tub. Will definitely stay there again, a first class property with everything you could need. The mince pies left for us on arrival was a lovely touch.
Honestly amazing! The attention to detail is incredible. I really loved my stay, thank you!! A cute and cozy cabin to stay in.
Absolutely loved this lodge. Highly recommend a stay here. I cannot fault it! Situated in a secluded beautiful area. Carmen the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. This lodge is kitted out to the max and didnt want for anything. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Fantastic place, warm, cosy all mod cons, home from home but in a rural location, couldn't be a better retreat. A few little tweets could make it better still, but all in all a totally unique experience.
Adrian
Our second stay at the Wilderness Lodge and brilliant once again. Amazing countryside immediately outside, very friendly pub a short walk away and the Lodge itself beautiful.
This is our second stay here & we had a wonderful week, despite the weather! This lodge is just perfect if you want to get away from it all & enjoy the surrounding Shropshire hills. We absolutely love it here and I can see us returning again in a couple of years
Alexandra
Beautiful secluded Log Cabin! Facilities are spot on with the added bonus of fully functional broadband and sky glass tv! Bed is very comfy, shower very warm and pressure is great! Kitchen facilities are brilliant washing machine and dishwasher! Stunning views. Highly recommended! If you are a big walker as well this is the place for you, hills all around for challenging walking. And the pub location is accurate with a 15 minutes walk and the food is amazing! Book in advance though as they are very busy!
What a find , definitely correct the name Wilderness Cottage, very peaceful and idyllic and away from the hustle and bustle of life. Needed to stay longer as didnt get time to take advantage of the hot tub or venture up the hill to the amazing walks. Apart from a slight problem with the shower which the owner replied to me even though it was very late at night it was a comfortable, quiet place to stay and we were greeted with a delicious cake too. Looking forward to staying again in the future.
My wife and I really enjoyed our recent stay at Wilderness Lodge for our 30th wedding anniversary, the setting was idyllic, peaceful and just what we wanted, lovely evening walks to the local pub serving good honest pub grub. we can't wait to rebook and return next year. The lodge itself was well equipped, clean and relaxing.
Stunning lodge which really is wilderness, it has a little natural pond with running water which is beautiful to watch and listen too, also bird table has plenty of birds visiting and a squirrel. Plenty of lovely thick towels and well equipped lodge with board games, Netflix, WiFil, the local shop is a treasure with really competitive prices I only regret not having a longer stay could easily enjoyed a fortnight here.. well done owners you have a real gem Also I didnt check my room as thoroughly as I thought and had gotten almost all the way back to Yorkshire before I realised Id left my Barbour Gilet on the room door. Nothing was too much trouble when the owner contacted me, she had it returned in the mail that day sending me a receipt with tracking number and her compliments .. am blown away by the service thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for some peace and quiet
Daniel
Absolutely beautiful place and location, very clean, warm and cosy, very isolated but at the same time not too far from shops, also with the addition of decent broadband and good quality tv with sky glass and added extras, hot tub very relaxing, i could go on, could not find anything to fault, just perfect, would recommend to anyone.
The cabin was perfect. Everything we could of asked for. The walking routes were superb and the pub in the village well worth a visit for some food and a pint. Will defo be going back to stay again
Richard
Loved the three nights at this property. So atmospheric and relaxing in a beautiful area. Recommend the village shop Akkadians cave and a lovely local pub
Wonderful in every way. Will absolutely be returning.
