Stoney-Brook Lodge

S lovely break in great accomodation and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Had a lovely stay.

Cabin was excellent and in such a beautiful area with such an amazing view. Marie was an excellent host.

it was very good and i wood go back tomorrow

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 Stoney-Brook 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 Stoney-Brook 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 well-maintained 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, it’s 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 mist/low cloud had cleared

We stayed for a week at stoney lodge.

While the weather wasn’t 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.

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.

My mum and I had a lovely stay at Stoney-Brook 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 I’m sure we’ll be back in future!

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!

Lovely stay.

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

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 kitchen/seating 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 .

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.

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.

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.

Stoney-Brook Lodge is a little slice of heaven.

It’s spotlessly clean, well appointed with all the touches of home, making it a really comfortable and effortless stay, but it’s 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 can’t recommend Stoney-Brook Lodge highly enough. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I hope we’re back in beautiful Shropshire very soon.

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.

It’s 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.

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

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.

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 it’s remote but this is clear in the details and that’s the appeal for us. We loved being able to walk our dogs straight from our lodge up Clee Hill. Our dogs loved the garden/field but just a note to say it isn’t 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 wasn’t a problem for us but worth noting if your dogs are more adventurous!

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.

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 couldn’t 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 Stoney-Brook.

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.

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.

The views from this property are truly amazing.

Hot tub added bonus. Relaxing atmosphere.

Stunning location.

Great lodge and outdoor area creating a very social environment. Host, Marie, was amazing. 10/10 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 wasn’t 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 it’s nice to keep the lodge towels for showers etc) and packed robes/dressing gowns to pop on after the hot tub. Marie checks the hot tub during the stay so you know it’s all running fine, there’s also a hose pipe to top up the tub should you need to. I highly recommend Stoney Brook Lodge, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 You will not regret booking this, we really had the best family break there!

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 shrubs/long 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 Stoney-brooke 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.

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 1/2 miles not 1!

We had a wonderful time at Stoney-Brook Lodge, the living areas were very comfortable with everything you could need for a great holiday.

The outside area is incredible, it’s 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.

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!

The cottage itself is beautiful, as are the grounds.

We took our two dogs and having a secure garden is extremely important. The log burners, the hot tub and the general feel of the place made it an extremely relaxing weekend, especially at the beginning of December. There is something lovely about sitting in a hot tub with a fire roaring and the sound of rain on the roof... Ludlow is a beautiful old town and I would recommend at least having a look around the castle while you're there even if you do nothing else. One tip. Read the directions on the emails and the app. Ignore Google Maps when trying to get to the cottage. If you don't it will take you on a journey I can only compare to a Top Gear Special. Yes, you'll make it, but the car might need to be shot and put out of its misery. A lovely place that I would be happy to return to, perhaps in the summer next time.

Absolutely beautiful lodge peace and quiet and very restful.

Inside and outside absolutely brilliant. Owners were friendly and anything needed was provided. Will definitely go back.

An amazing stay, beautiful views that seemed never ending!

We didn’t want to leave a will definitely be back!

The lodge and setting was fantastic.

We had a thoroughly relaxing holiday and would highly recommend Stoney-brook lodge to anyone wanting a nice peaceful break. As the lodge is off the beaten track a bit I would recommend people arriving with enough food and drink to make it through the first night as once you get to the lodge you won’t want to leave to visit the supermarket.

Marie the owner was so helpful bringing more Logs and kindling for the fire Even got to look around the new lodge down the hill which has just gone on Sykes hillside lodge!

Thank you

The Lodge is warm and cosy, especially with the wood burner in use.

It was a particularly cold and wet week with snow showers and high winds, had we not had the log burner on then it would have been cold as there is only a small electric heater in the living area. We did have to ask the owner for more wood and she kept us supplied with regular top-ups. In fact the owner, Marie, was quick to respond to any requests or needs that were pointed out to her. The directions to the Lodge should mention that it is necessary to take the lane marked as "No Through Road" to get to Bedlam and the lodge. There are two lodges, with Hillside on the left and Stoney Brook on the right hand side of the lane when travelling uphill. The location is nice with extensive views over a valley over and beyond Ludlow.

Lovely place, in a beautiful location that's so peaceful, The views are amazing!

Perfect cottage, clean and well stocked. Had a great few days away relaxing and chilling out in the hot tub which is clean and well maintained. Only saw the owner as we checked in but she lives near by and is very welcoming and friendly. Even though it is remote, it easy to find if you use the postcode provided on sat-nav. Will definitely be back again and have already been recommending it to everyone!

Fantastic location.

Beautiful Lodge. Really friendly and helpful owners . locals really friendly too. We had such a brilliant time, we have already re booked !! As for the hot tub , it was really the icing on the cake!!

We love this place, this was our 3rd visit and on the way home booked again.

It is our ‘off grid’ haven (but WiFi and TV if needed!). We love the walk from the lodge up the hills, views are amazing. Our dogs love it here too and letting them run about in the garden off lead makes life so much easier than places where they have to be harnessed/lead/staked. You need leads on for walks because of sheep so running free in the garden is great. Mortimer forest is a great trip out. Marie is a wonderful host, she makes you feel like friends returning from the first visit. Anything you need she sorts immediately.

We had a fabulous week, the property was clean and welcoming.

The hot plate in the hot tub shack was an excellent addition to the already well stocked kitchen. The wood burner and hot tub are wonderful features as were the daily visiting sheep. The owner was welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. An excellent property for a restful and relaxing holiday.

This is a sweet little lodge over looking beautiful far reaching views of Shropshire and possibly Herefordshire.

We were well looked after by the host who checked the hot tub daily, providing a welcome pack on arrival and plenty of logs for the wood burner. Very relaxing breakaway in an isolated location. We would highly recommend this holiday accommodation if your looking for peace and quite. We will book again.

Fabulous views from the Lodge, owners very helpful

Just returned from a fabulous weeks stay, the lodge and outside area are both beautiful and spacious.

Such a tranquil place with fabulous views in a great location not far from Ludlow town centre. Would definitely return.

Just come back from an amazing week away at this lodge.

Has to be the best break we have ever had.The view is amazing and the lodge is lovely.We did,nt want to come home,could have quite happily stayed forever

The owners that live near by are extremely nice and helpful and let the kids hold baby lambs on their farm and quickly provided any additional wood etc that we required.

Stunning location and views right across the Shropshire hills. Outside area was superb for hot tub, BBQ and entertaining.

The lodge is superb!

Those views from the hottub surrounded by the lovely twinkling lights was such a treat! The furnishings and decor were comfy, warm and welcoming - beautiful.

The accommodation is outstanding.

extremely clean and in a superb tranquil location. The facilities are first class and everything has been thought of. The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break, will definitely be back and recommending to others.

Lovely New Year break in such a beautiful setting.

We stayed for 3 nights. The view from the lodge is gorgeous and the hottub and inside and outside log burners were so cosy! Lodge was well equiped and beautifully decorated. Ludlow town centre is worth a visit too. Lots of nice shops and a castle too.

Lovely log cabin.

Wonderful views. I think a signpost on the road would help with the name on as it is very difficult to find. A lovely chocolate cake was waiting for us which is a nice touch.

Wow.

What a great place to stay. So quiet, it's unreal. An amazing view over the hills and the hot tub is wonderfully relaxing. Can't thank Marie enough for her kindness and so we have booked again for next year. What I would say, we would have liked a washing machine on the premises.

I am commenting on the accuracy of your directions.

You say the lodge is on the left whereas it is on the right, For people with a sat nav the accurate location is as follows. 1. The grid reference of the lodge is SO58892 77182. 2. The Latitude is 52.391111 and the longitude is -2.6054925 3. The post code is given as SY8 3PW which is the code for a property lower down the hill. The accrual location is about 270m further up the hill on the right.

Had a fantastic week,Marie the owner very helpful but discreet.

the lodge had everything we could have wanted,and was spotlessly clean.Outdoor barbecue area a real plus with fantastic views towards Ludlow,a real relaxing experience.

Perfect location and the cabin was first class with all we could possible want, plus the bonus of the hot tub.

Never having been near one before it was an experience very relaxing. The surrounding garden was a view to die for nothing but trees and fields anyone wanting a peaceful holiday this is certainly the place to go , our dog spent so much time just lying out there he loved it . As for the barbecue area that was something else you could spend day and night out there it was so nice . We had a lovely welcoming chocolate cake Yummy !!!! Thank you very much for finding us such a lovely holiday place .

Most tranquil lodge we have ever stayed, A superb location,with picturesque views of the valley,The lodge was ready on arrival as promised,hot tub ,ready all nice &clean,The lodge it's self was a joy , The out side BBQ area was first class, The owner,Maria more than helpful,although a busy lady,nothing was to much trouble (Thank you Maria) we will be booking again.

The directions are wrong, its the property on the right, not on the left as stated in the directions.

We were halfway unpacking when Maria arrived to tell us we were in the wrong log cabin.

The cottage and outdoor area was lovely and Marie was very welcoming.

The only comment I would make is that there wasn’t enough glasses. Thank you for a lovely break..

This cottage is beautiful and had everything you need for a lovely get away, dogs are welcome and secure in the garden in front of the cottage.

We visited as a party of 4 adults and 2 dogs and I can say that all of us enjoyed ourselves. Lots of walks around the area and some a bit more out the way which are also enjoyable. The hot tub and outdoor space is lovely and very relaxing at night. Thank you for a lovely holiday

Fantastic location, superb views.

Everything was all we asked for and more we loved it.

Superb views,fab outdoor facilities,perfect for walking,visiting different places.

A great place overall

One word-WOW!

! Don’t want to say too much as it will get booked up too quickly.

We went as 2 couples, everything about it was lovely, very clean and tidy, every room in the cabin has character.

The hot tub has amazing views at night and you can watch the sunset whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly. Our 2 dogs loved it as well. Marie had no problem with the breed and we are very thankful! She is always around when needed! Would go back 100%

Stoney Brooke Lodge is amazing.

We loved the who experience and we hope to go back in the near future

I have only ticked "met expectations" instead of "exceeded expectations" as we have used Sykes before and received excellent service then, so we were expecting a very high stranded of service, which you delivered again.

Marie the owner was very helpful, welcoming and grateful for comments when chatting.

we had a lovely time,very peaceful.

A fantastic lodge with all you need to have a great holiday
