  • "What a lovely lodge to stay."

    Welcomed by Bev lovely and friendly. Very clean warm and comfortable. Amazing views from the balcony. Even at the end of Oct we were able to sit out and enjoy the sunrise. Nice little surprises on arrival to welcome us. Everything we needed was there plus more. We were a very mixed aged family of 7 from age 10 to 88. Loved the games provided that were in the unit. We enjoyed feeding the goats with our carved pumpkins and feeding the donkeys with left over carrots and apples. The dogs loved the secure garden at the side they could run happily without worrying about them been able to get out. Bev welcomed our Granddaughter trick or treating at Halloween. Everyone was so friendly. Ideal place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet with stunning views across the valley. Thank you to Bev and everyone else we met we had an amazing week. We would definitely recommend Dragonfly lodge to family and friends, as well as returning ourselves. Thank you.

  • "A fantastic stay so relaxing and peaceful, the owner Bev came and introduced herself, who is lovely."

    The place was very comfortable clean and dog friendly, we will definitely return with other family members. The information provided was very informative and helpful of the local area - one thing I wish we knew in advance was tha you can get shopping delivered but we couldn’t get a slot once there.

    Lovely and quiet. Very spacious, had everything we needed in the lodge. Clean and comfortable throughout. Very friendly and welcoming owners and housekeeper, always checking that everything was OK. Lovely seeing the donkeys, goats and other farm animals around us. Worth exploring the hillside walks around the farm, incredible views of the Shropshire countryside. Highly recommended and will definitely return. Thank you for the welcome pack, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • "It was almost perfect but unfortunately not 1 the internet was unusable."

    2 shower room floods, most irritating if you want to use the loo. 3 the dryer doesn’t work. 4 loo leaks when flushed - there is a cup for that , but most unpleasant. Everything else was perfect, but these issues need addressing.

  • "Really warm welcome in every respect."

    Really comfortable. The first property that I had stayed at were I didn’t need to open up me bag of ‘just in case’ kitchen equipment. The owner has thought through and resourced the property so well. Only thing that would have made the holiday better was if the weather was such that we could have sat out on the veranda- but it was February! Thank you x
