Hillside Lodge Reviews

We had a lovely stay at this lovely Lodge. The lodge was clean and comfortable and the outdoor area was great. The owners of the lodge were very accommodating and were on hand if you needed anything. We will definitely be staying here again.

Amazing lodge with fantastic facilities in a lovely peaceful location. The host was incredibly helpful.

Alicia

An absolute hidden gem in a wonderful location. The lodge is spacious, beautiful and well maintained. It has everything you need for a cosy and comfortable stay. Big thank you to Marie for making us feel so welcome.

Rachel

The Lodge was comfy, cosy & in a beautiful rural setting, perfect to escape from it all. Weve stayed at the other Lodge a few years ago & would definitely stay at either one again. The outside wood burner was lovely next to the hot tub area & a plentiful supply of wood given by the owners. R & T

Charlotte

Whats a beautiful place, the views are amazing. and the lodge had everything for a comfortable stay the host was very warm and welcoming. The only thing that couldve been better was the shower. the water pressure was low and the temperature was only just warm.

Danika

Absolutely beautiful property in a beautiful location. Had everything u needed and more. The host was lovely and on hand should u ever need her, highly recommend this place and will be returning myself in the future

Joanne

Wonderful holiday lodge in a stunningly beautiful area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay met by Marie who welcomed us and our dogs and explained how to use the hot tub etc. The lodge is immaculately clean and wellequipped for a self catering stay. The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated and the view from the double room is stunning. The outdoor area is just wonderful the hot tub is perfect, the outdoor seating is comfortable and good quality and the garden is fabulous for the dogs. It was safe and secure so they could roam around while we enjoyed the hot tub. The views from the garden and hot tub are the icing on the cake! Theres also plenty to do and see around and about you can walk up behind the lodge and onto Clee Hill. Thank you Marie for a wonderful stay we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The property is amazing in terms of its location, views, indoor outdoor living areas. The hot tub is fab and great to be under the canopy. All clean and tidy unfortunate issue with the kitchen floor which couldnt be helped. The bathroom lets it down a bit the sink gets very wet around the tap, soaking anything left on the ledge and the shower head will not remain at any other angle than straight up which then splashed the floor. Water pressure not great either. We did think for the price another loo roll and some hand soap in the bathroom should have been included. Similarly, a good supply of washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets should also be included, especially as the griddle takes some scrubbing to get clean. The front door lock doesnt feel very secure. It works obviously, but for peace of mind another internal lock would help reduce a few little anxieties. Overall, a fantastic property and well worth a visit.

Caroline

Absolutely lovely cottage and really cosy. ..Marie was really attentive and always responded to messages. It was so lovely and peaceful and my dogs did nothing more than relax and enjoy the garden as did we, we were spoilt with the weather which helped alot and meant we could enjoy the outdoor surroundings. We were there for the week and really did enjoy ourselves. The only downside was having to come home. Thanks so much Marie

The most gorgeous setting, and perfect if you have dogs. However, we were only given one toilet roll for three nights and four people. There was also not enough washing up liquid or hand soap and only one bin bag! Otherwise it was perfect. Location is brilliant if you want something quiet with stunning views. Facilities were fantastic at the property and everything was very clean and finished to a lovely standard.

Absolutely stunning and amazing. The views are absolutely stunning. The whole experience was incredible. If you want complete rest and quite then this holiday home is for you. The village is about 10 minutes drive, however not alot goes on. The castle is ok. If you want a town to visit then Hereford is about an hour away. Overall I would recommend this place. The owner is available anytime and is so very helpful, kind and happy to help with anything. 9 out of 10 given.

Stephen

Lovely lodge in a fantastic location , perfect for dog walks , right on the doorstep ,our mini dachshund made it up to the summit of Clee hill twice, the views from there were stunning as are the ones from the lodge, pictures do not do it justice. Hot tub excellent and outdoor area perfect for summer evenings. Lodge well equipped and clean , for us the best overall package through Sykes so far .

Another great stay at Hillside Lodge, think we had every kind of weather during the 7 days, but we could still get out into the covered outdoor area during the rainy days and every night. New sofa,s are great, especially the recliner, very comfortable. The dogs loved the outdoor space and the walks straight from the door are excellent. Be booking soon for next year. Thanks Marie for a lovely stay. John, Gill, and the two dogs Kendo and Meg

Samantha

We had a lovely week staying at Hillside Lodge. It is situated in a beautiful location with stunning views across the hills and with sheep to keep you entertained. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather for this time of the year and made full use of the outside eating area. We watched the sunset from the hot tub each evening which was amazing. The wood burner in the outside area was a nice touch but some throws would mean that we could have stayed out and enjoyed it for even longer. Especially as we were enjoying watching the pair of swallows who had made it home! The lodge itself was well equipped and comfortable. It would have been handy if there had been some hooks on doors for towels although we were able to dry ours daily outside on the line provided due to the lovely weather. Our 2 dogs also enjoyed the lodge, particularly the large garden. A lovely stay and we would happily return. Thank you Marie.

Stephen

Great location with only sheep for company. Very comfortable with everything we needed, and the hot tub was ideally placed for the beautiful view. The owners were close enough for help if they were needed.

Very pleased with all the facilities in living , shower and outside areas. But felt the age and comfort of both beds were very disappointing. To have no mattress protector on the bed in the back bedroom was a big no no. The bedrooms and the facilities were first class , but the beds and our sleep experience were a huge let down. Also the comfort of the pillows was lacking, but that is maybe our personal preference.

Beautiful place to stay and owner was lovely.

Debbie

The accommodation was warm and comfortable with amazing views of the surrounding area. Our two dogs enjoyed the enclosed space and great walks just outside the door. We used the outdoor area a lot even though it was winter time the owners were more than happy to supply wood and anything else we needed. The owners were very nice and easy to get in touch with even over the busy Christmas period. Thanks for having us!

Valerie

Claire

We had a lovely weekend at Hillside Lodge. The lodge was beautiful and clean and exactly what we wanted for a peaceful weekend away. The owner was on hand if we needed anything at all and we are already looking to book again.

Kayleigh

Our happy place! Our third stay and fourth is already booked for next November. Owner is lovely and so helpful. We required assistance when we were there and within 5 minutes wed had a visit and issue resolved! We always stay for a full week and have everything we need. Already looking forward to our next visit

We had a great week at Hillside Lodge, the living accommodation was excellent and so to the outdoor dining area. The view from the Lodge, looking over Ludlow is spectacular with the sun setting over the opposite hills There are plenty of walks right on the door step, that our younger dog enjoyed, and the enclosed garden gave great freedom for both of our dogs. Big thank you to the owner Marie, we will be returning.

Absolutely stunning lodge, we have stayed in many dog friendly cottages lodges and this is without doubt the best one. Already looking to book for next year.

Well, for our first family little get away. It was amazing! Marie had made sure everything was ok for us, any problems she was there not that we had any. Everywhere was so clean and well presented. The hot tub was a big hit for us and the kids. Our dog loved just lieing on the grass taking in the air. We also got to watch the barn swallows which were amazing, flying in and out their nest! What a fantastic lodge it was! Thank you! X

Joanne

A wonderful place to unwind and relax. The view was amazing! The beds were extremely comfortable and the hot tub was lovely. The weather was glorious. We just didnt want to leave thank you so much.

Edward

A beautiful lodge with all the comforts and wonderful view. Sykes sent us the directions to the wrong lodge, but we soon found ours.

We absolutely loved staying here could' never get bored off view we had 2 dogs who loved outdoor space they were secure and safe beds so comfy would highly recommend beautiful part off the world. ..shame no washing machine

Beautiful, peaceful location, although just a short drive to Ludlow, and the lodge itself was clean and well decorated. Having the hot tub refreshed for every visit is very reassuring. The owners obviously take pride in their property and are very welcoming. I have already recommended it to several friends.

Andrew

If you're after remote, this is remote! Sainsbury's 10 mins drive. The facilities are excellent, the lodge is gorgeous, the hot tub was incredibly clean and we spent a lot of time in there during our stay. Loved the undercover leisure area, used the barbecue griddle, the freezer and wine fridge in this area. Lovely to be able to dine looking out over the superb view. If you have a very small dog smaller than our Mini Schnauzers the garden might not be totally secure if your dog is determined we bought a screw in staketether so our two could roam on long lines without us worrying. We did check the boundaries but were not 100 comfortable to let them roam at their will.

Jennifer

The lodge was beautiful inside and out. The views down the valley were breathtaking and it is located in a beautiful mountain setting. The hot tub was great and the BBQ area was a great asset and we had a lovely evening relaxing, eating and drinking. Will definitely be booking for a repeat visit and Maria was really lovely and kind. The beds were also amazing and we truly had a fabulous stay. Thank you.

We had a fantastic bank holiday stay at Hilltop Lodge. The lodge is beautifully presented and well equipped Marie, the owner, couldnt do enough for us when we asked about where we could source wood for the outdoor wood burner. The dogs had an amazing time with plenty of freedom to explore, and the covered hot tub meant it was very well used! We loved it so much we are booking to return next year.

We spent a fantastic week at Hillside Lodge. The views from the property are really lovely, especially from the master bedroom or from the hot tub which we enjoyed everyday. Inside is fitted out to a high standard. It is only 1015 mins drive from Ludlow which is a beautiful place to visit. Croft castle is also worth visiting as well as Stokesay castle. Would recommend the Riverside inn at Aymestrey, the Lion inn at Leintwardine and the Blue Boar at ludlow for great pubs to eat out at. Good communication with Marie on the day and when we left. Would return again in the future when visiting this area.

Jillian

I can honestly say that I could not fault Hillside lodge. The property,the views, the host and everything about this place was perfect. We enjoyed a lovely welcome cake n uand a visit from Marie the host, to make sure we had all that we needed. Our two lively Springers had a ball,with stunning views from our afternoon walks up the hill. A total relax,topped off by the beautiful hottub,which was perfectly tended to. Thankyou so much Marie,we will certainly be back and have already recommended to our friends.

Victoria

Hillside lodge was an amazing little find! Cosycomfortable and had everything we needed. Just to go for the hot tub alone and the view would make it worth it! Beautiful location, will definitely be back!

Lorraine

The lodge was lovely, a lot of time had been taken into the decor very welcoming, view were amazing, everything we needed for our holiday was there . Looking forward to booking again.

We spent 4 nights here and loved every minute, the views from the property are beautiful especially if the sun is out and you see it setting over Ludlow and the hills. The hot tub was in constant use and was always well monitored by the owners for water quality. There are no shops in walking distance so bring all your food and drink with you unless you want to have a car trip out. We knew this and loved the remoteness and quietness, it felt very private as if it was only us there and the sheep!.

A fantastic place to stay. All exactly as described. Photos cant do justice to how beautiful it really is. Felt very welcomed by Marie and Neil. felt that if we needed anything then they were approachable
