"Lovely location, excellent hottub and fishing. Inside the lodge could have been cleaner which did let it down for us."
"A excellent lodge if you just want a relaxing holiday nice hottub"
"Excellent surroundings. Staff fantastic. We have booked again for next year . The fishing and hot tub just add to the overall experience. Would recommend."
"Lodge was clean and tidy beds made up and towels supplied nice touch was the pint of milk in fridge used hot tub which was great in the evening"
"Our Wigmore Lakes Lodges review: comfortable stay"
"Beautiful lodge, exactly as described, nice and warm, comfy bed, all the necesary items in the kitchen, even a washing machine, iron, and hairdryer. The lodge was very private and the hot tub was very accesible with being sunk into the decking. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Handy cafe at the gates which do a great breakfast, and are a chip shop at night. Good prices as well. Good location as a starting point to explore Wales or to head into Shrewsbury or Chester. Easy to find. Thoroughly recommend to anyone on a romantic weekend or looking for a family getaway."
"We had a pretty decent stay overall. Katies call the day before was really helpful, giving us all the info we needed and making check-in smooth. The lodge looked just like the pictures, but we did notice a strange wet dog smell in the lounge - weird since its supposed to be pet free. We wiped everything down with antibac and used some air freshener, which helped. There was no vacuum, just a brush and dustpan, so cleaning was a bit limited. The TV was tiny and the en-suite shower wasnt great - it kept switching between freezing cold and boiling hot, which was annoying. The weather was pretty rubbish, so we only managed to use the hot tub once and it took ages to warm up from 27C. Such a shame we didnt get to explore Wattleborough or Shrewsbury more, but the setting was lovely and peaceful!"
"Not as listed"

Silly one but if u need to keep meds in the fridge please do check the fridge settings as ours was turned right down and my insulin was not very cold .Bedrooms very small and only a double bed ( my fault I should off double checked the listing ) There is only a very small t.v in the master bedroom and a small ish t.v in the livening room ..brown leather sofas not comfortable at all .Dinning table really dose need a good sand / varnish as its looks very old / peeling the varnish on the top off it .Garden furniture well its not what it was showed in the photo ( nice Ratten furniture ) it was metal fabric seating that has defo seen better days . HOT TUB well it was dirty at the bitten and. Half off the Jets was not working ( our lazy spa at home has more power than this hot tub had !Decking well its had been filled in ( where holes has appeared ) not a Good job done tho plz do note dogs have to be on leads at all time and if your dog like a good old run please do check out rowton grange secure dog field its only 3 min drive from site and only £6.50 for half a hour even the cows came to say hello lol ..be warned they ask u to strip the beds and put the bedding into a red bag and the other red bag is for the towels on the day u leave on the day we was leaving they emptied that hot tub by 7 am ! And left the gate open even tho we had a dog and there was an other dog on Site aswell !Dont get me wrong, the accommodation had most things that it was said to have, but other than the size of the caravan, I wouldnt call it luxury..The caravan we stayed in, it could do with a refresh, re finish, just little bits that let it down.The site is small and plenty of spaces to add more,All in all, we made it a pleasurable stay, but for us, we wont be returning"
