Fantastic Lodge, one of the best I have stopped in.

Overall a fantastic holiday. The only possible improvements could be a cash point onsite and a slightly larger park. Accommodation, surroundings and staff are spot on... we would definitely recommend

Idyllic, peaceful lodge beside a lovely pond. Very comfortable lodge. Loved relaxing on the wooden veranda reading or doing puzzles or simply enjoying the peace. The only complaint was one night people in a nearby private lodge played loud, horrible music, that was simply out of place with the surroundings. Manager said we should have phoned. But we felt they should have walked around at night to check things are relatively peaceful. Like other holiday sites do! But apart from that it was lovely and peaceful the rest of the time.

I will definitely go back. The weather was too hot for my older dog which makes a change but we didn't need to go far. My mother and brother visited us for a day as she only lives an hour away and bought us local produce in from Ludlow. I.e. Ham , brown bread, cheeses and pork pies. I know this may sound unhealthy but goodness me the salads and all these foods are of the best quality. I would also strongly recommend the salad packs for sale at the site shop.

Highly recommend! Amazing !

Excellent lodge, lacking nothing, repeat everything in my 'Holiday review'.

Would stay again but a bit out of the way

Very very good. I would visit again

Our Friday to Monday break away, was lovely, peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. The site and lodge was very clean, well maintained and had everything we wanted and needed. Without a doubt be returning in the future

Lovely holiday, great place would stay here again.

Staff were so helpful and greeted us with a very genorous welcome pack, which was a bonus. The lodge was immaculate and had everything we needed. The hottub was cleaned every day and was very relaxing, as it was in a private location. All the holiday owners were friendly too. We had plenty of laughs on this holiday and would definitely visit here again in the near future. I would recommend this lodge and Ashlea pools to anyone who wanted peace and picturesque landscapes

Comfortable lodge.....a little dated but adequately furnished.
Wonderful welcome pack.

Can't wait to book again

No problems

The lodge was stunning and one of the best we have stayed in. Lots of attention to detail and the welcome basket was a ovely gesture.
A lovely park with very friendly staff. A small issue with the hot tub was resolved promptly with great customer service.
We have already booked to return this summer.

I would happily give a score of 11 for overall rating if I could!

Amazing long weekend it's a beautiful place

If the mattress was softer it woul be absolutely perfect. He shower cubicle would also be perfect if a shelf was there to put shower gel shampoo etc.

Fantastic!! Booked again for next year.

Spacious, comfortable and excellent hot tub!

Can't wait to go back

We loved it

Excellent we will return next year.

The break was just what we wanted and we would recommend it to anyone we will be going back soon

Wonderful Lodge, Lovely peaceful site. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Fabulous time!!

Amazing. The bees knees

Fantastic x

loved Ashlea pools ,lovely relaxing place .Oak vip is an excellent lodge very comfortable and clean.Hot tub a plus.The staff at Ashlea pools are very helpful and friendly.Enjoyed our stay very much

The lodge was sited overlooking the lake. It was fully equipped with every item we needed during our stay.
We liked the decor, layout and facilities

Great place. Our lodge was in very good condition and everything worked as it should. The hot tub is a very welcome addition and cleaned by the staff daily. Very quiet location and a great place to go to do nothing and relax.

Me and my partner will definitely be returning.

Had an amazing time would definatly come back every year we look for somewhere at a last minute deal for the weekend, and what a lovely idea to receive a hamper on arrival really loved that and the little shop

The worst part about our short break was having to leave

Very clean and tidy x

Absolutely love Ashlea Pool Lodges. The booking process is simple and the check in is quick. The staff member that checked me in was fantastic and provided me with a welcome basket containing tea, coffee, sugar, milk, butter, water, crisps and sweets! This is my second time that I have stayed at Ashlea Pools and the lodges are stunning, spacious and luxurious! Love the hot tub!!

Will definitely come back again

Had a fab time , there were dog biscuits in the clothes drawer and made me wonder how clean it was cleaned before we arrived ! The rest of the cabin seemed fine though.

Excellent lodge. Very clean. Great hot tub and all other facilities you could need for a comfortable stay. Lovely warm accommodation and really handy onsite shop.

Lovely time, lovely immaculate lodge

Loved the whole weekend

The lodge was looking a little tired and there were issues with the heating. It was comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need.

As above - recommended

Lovely location, great lodge

Perfect short break

You won't be disappointed

We have stayed in many lodges in this country and we believe Ashlea Pools is one of the best.

Overall fabulous location wonderful relaxing settings will recommend to friends and family.

Really nice quiet getaway!

This really does have everything and more ... you can't put this place into words ... you MUST book NOW! You silly NOT be disappointed!!!
Thank you for such a wonderful romantic getaway in style!

Really clean and comfortable

Brilliant!!! Helpful and friendly staff.

We were upgraded to kingfisher v i p so review is on that lodge

The perfect place to re charge your batteries!

Just lovely

Relaxing and peaceful weekend

The staff where very helpful and friendly both on arrival and departure. A credit to the establishment.

We've been on quite a few lodge holidays but this was by far the best. Everything was perfect for our stay. It was so relaxing and I loved being able to take our dog. I cannot wait to go back!

Luxurious is how it was. Don't think twice...

Amazing! No other words could describe

A marvellous lodge in a quiet corner of the park.

Loved Goldcrest VIP Lodge. Very luxurious, comfortable & spacious.

Wonderful place, plenty of wildlife. Very close to Bedale.

Best short break I have had without going abroad and loved the luxury accommodation. It was exactly what we had hoped and planned for and didn't need to go off the site for anything, everything we needed we had from the shop from locally sourced fresh meat and veg to children's activity toys , hot tub was so amazing we just wanted to make the most of it , we all had a lovely peaceful time x

Lovely relaxing just what we needed

Just great thanks

Stayed in Kingfisher VIP (17). Fantastic stay. Staff so helpful and friendly. The best welcome basket ever. Gorgeous hot tub and friendly neighbours. Great base for days out in Shropshire and for popping into Wales. Lovely clean lodge. Look forward to staying again.

Very clean.. hot tub was amazing.. welcome pack was a pleasant surprise, view was fab. Would definitely go back

Fab fab fab !! Thank you x

Really clean, hot tub cleaned every few days, BBQs allowed and very cosy inside. Good quality television with lots of channels so not limited. Also radios channels on the television. Good view and pkaying field and dog field. There is a small little shop on the site that sells a lot of useful items. Can also hire DVDs for rent at an affordable, reasonable price. Really enjoyed my time there with family, will definitely be coming back again in the future.

Highly recommend this place to stay

Fantastic lodge and hot tub

A hidden gem :) good times had by all.

Absolutely perfect holiday for me and my partner. So romantic with the hottub. Listening to birds I'm the morning from our bedroom window and absolutely silent most of the time. Enjoyed hiring bikes and walking near by and staff were lovely!! Would defo go back again!!!

Fabulous stay in the Mandarin plus lodge.

We had a great time the only small issue was the inside of the lodge was a little tired looking but we were told that they were due for refurbishment soon. We were outside on the deck or in the beautiful surroundings mostly anyway. We found the beds really comfortable and had a great nights sleep.

We had a lovely break at Ashlea Pools, our lodge was lovely and hottub a great added extra and cleaned everyday, staff were always happy to help! Only downside is no phone signal or wifi in the lodges but we will definatley be visiting again.

Clean tidy all you need. Except wi fi

The life I stayed in was absolutely luxurious and it is my second time going back to this specific Lodge. Amazing use of space inside the lodge and enough privacy for each bedroom. It was astonishingly clean and modern. Brand new kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen had everything I needed for cooking meals. Tv and DVD plus freeview. The hot tub was amazing!!!

Stunning lodge, beautiful views and hot tub was fantastic

We had a lovely stay in a clean and comfortable lodge. There was everything we could have needed during the week and the hot tub was a lovely extra. We would love to return again - Thoroughly enjoyable!

It5 a bit small if you need a travel cot for a baby but it's just a small issue. Lodge is warm and cosy.

Well equipped comfortable, amazing hot tub and spacious.

fantastic lodge that is well facilitated! lovely welcome basket that was a lovely touch! lovely quiet weekend in the countryside, lovely opportunities for some good walks!

Lovely relaxing lodge, very clean and well equipped. The hot tub just finished it off perfectly.

Comfortable, modern lodge with an amazing hot tub.

Rooms where a good size, bigger then I thought they would be. Kitchen had everything we needed. Hot tub was amazing.

Had a brill time and great price

Fantastic holiday. Nice surrounding and lots of local places to visit. Highly recommend a trip over to cardingmill valley in church Stretton. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Loved having the shop available for any bits we forgot to bring. Hot tub was wonderful -we used it everyday. Definitely recommend.

Lovely place, peaceful and relaxing,will return

The only thing i have a negative comment about is that there was no WIFI.

A peaceful and relaxing break. Highly recommended.

The lodge was beautiful and the welcome basket was a lovely, kind gesture. Its setting in the park was the perfect location. Thoroughly enjoyed our romantic break.

Lodge had everything you need - home from home - just a few things needed looking at i.e. rusty radiator in the main bathroom

Bathroom smelled quite a lot and we mentioned it on the first morning. It was looked at and seemingly fixed but then it started to smell again

Beautifully presented cottage.

Would definitely return again.

beautiful and clean lodge - perfect - the welcome basket was brilliant and a lovely idea !

Fully equipped lodge, just needs storage for fishing rods etc

Really enjoyed our stay here have recommended to friends and family

Fab lodge with its own private hot tub

Excellent lodge & hot tub

Lovely lodge, had everything we needed and all excellent standard

Beautiful lodge, in a peaceful location.The outdoor hot tub was wonderful whatever the weather.The kitchen is well equipped with everything thought of.Modern open plan,very clean and spacious.Lovely welcome basket on arrival with local products.Would definitely recommend.

Lovely site, well kept and perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday.

Loved the cabin was nice and relaxing with the bonus of the hot tub

Excellent cabin, all the home mod find that you would ever need

A patio table would have been nice so we could have sat outside to eat

Loverly log cabin and loverly surroundings to go and visit.loved the hot tub.ludlow was a loverly town to visit.had a loverly time and would like to thank the staff for the loverly basket on arrival.loverly gesture and much appreciated.would highly reccomend.

TV should have been bigger as six of us stayed, & spent the evenings watching TV, & it was too small for the room.

The best equipped holiday home ever. Everything you need right down to a garlic press! Cabin was spotless and modern. Beds super comfortable. Hot tub was great.

Very comfortable lodge, nicely decorated and really well equiped. There even was children cutlery and cups! The beds were comfortable and the lodge was overall very clean. It would need a bit of maintenance as some items are suffering from wear and tear (curtains missing some rings, one shelf a bit wobbly, for example) but it was nevertheless really high standard and we really enjoyed our stay!

Loved every minute of staying in the lodge, it was more than I expected. The welcome hamper was so thoughtful and a prefect touch. Would highly recommend and will be coming back

Lovely quiet location really friendly welcoming staff , a little expensive compared to others we've been to but all in all a good time was had by us

best place we have ever stayed and the managers or owners ? are great

The park was in a lovely setting. The welcome at reception was very good and the welcome pack a bonus. The lodge was very clean and better than the pictures on the website. The hot tub was amazing and loved by all. There were lovely towns and villages nearby and everyone was very friendly. This was a lovely quiet park and we had a very relaxing week.

A luxurious lodge with views across the fishing lake. The patio area is secure which was great for my two small dogs. This dishwasher was a bonus.

Lovely and Clean

Great accommodation, just a little tired in places.

Great place to stay beds were comfortable and made up beautifully. Only fault was that the sofas weren't the most comfortable ( really is just a small thing)

This lodge was very comfortable and well equipped, a real home from home. It had a dishwasher and tablets were provided as well as washing up liquid and cloths etc. A well equipped kitchen. It was spotlessly clean.

Fabulous lodge, could quite happily live in it!

We stayed in the kingfisher VIP Monday to Friday.
It was very clean and had everything you need for a relaxing break. The welcome hamper was a nice surprise with all you need for a drink and bite to eat before you unpacked anything.
The hot tub was lovely at night when it got dark and peaceful.
It has nice surroundings and very quite with plenty of wildlife.
Bill W Nottingham

Weather was lovely grandson loved pool and play areas.

We loved our lodge it was fabulous, in a great location for the children. Only moan here would be the shower in the main bedroom area kept flooding and we were worried it was going to come into the bedroom and on the carpet. Location was perfect....

A wonderful lodge with hot tub. Very clean and welcoming.

Fabulous lodge. Very clean and well kept. Modern and all appliances worked. Hot tub was a bonus which was certainly enjoyed! Also lovely welcome hamper was provided and ample towels. Thank you!

lovely lodge clean and well presented with lots of extras,quite remote,wouldnt visit in the high season as to pricey

I agree with one of the previous comments made that the cabin is looking a little tired BUT boy do they have great cleaners - the place was slick and span. I could not find a speck of dust! The bed clothes and towels were of excellent standard. There was everything you needed in terms of cooking facilities. The oven and microwave looked brand new. In our cabin there is no washing machine as stated on one of the websites but an adequate freezer. There is also a separate fridge.
The hot tub is fabulous and you are hidden from neighbours.
The welcome pack is a lovely touch and the owners think of everything.
There is a reception / shop on site. There is also a separate laundry room which I think is accessible to all?
You are right next to the railway line and the train passes through several times a day. The first morning I heard it but after then I must have slept like a log as never heard it again.
This was a return trip and it's great to see the work being carried out on the site. We will definitely be back to see how things look in due course.

Excellent standard of lodge. Clean and tidy on arrival. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Lovely bath. Very friendly staff. Great location for peaceful walks and great restaurants.

peace & quiet in warm comfortable lodge in lovely surroundings. Complimentary welcome was a lovely touch.

Went here for my girlfriends birthday and we both loved it,really nice and secluded,no mither, very private and the hot tub was great,exactly what we were looking for in a peaceful getaway for a long weekend

Great hot tub!

Amazing lodge very high spec and spotlessly clean

We would 100% stay here again, we had a lovely valentines weekend!

Absolutely fab! The lodge was well equipped from tea towels & sponges, to a welcome pack (coffee, tea, milk bread etc) & a Christmas tree!!
No signal for 5 days but it was actually a breath of fresh air. Hot tub was fab...Would highly recommend!!

Def going back

Mandarin Plus lodge no.3 very cosy, well equipped, hot tub a great addition. Limited Sky tv channels but not the end of the world and no phone/internet signal. On site free wifi though at reception.

Lacked space to store non refrigerated food and an awning would have been nice to provide shelter over the hot tub when it rained as your face pelted with rain isn't a nice feeling. Previous reviews state not all the jets work in the hot tub but they do if you use the different dials around the edge.

Welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, bread, butter, cookies and pick & mix sweets was an excellent touch.

All in all warm, centrally heated cosy lodge and the little christmas tree was very sweet. Good facilities, nice and clean on arrival, great chill out base.

Lodge was beautiful

Great lodge with perfect hot tub. We found the natural interior of the lodge to be really cosy and we would definitely stay in a similar lodge again.

My partner and I along woth our dog stayed here for 3 night. The lodge was beautifully decorated, fully equipped, hottub was great! The welcome pack was a lovely touch with fresh bread and a pick n mix! Eould definatly stay again.

An amazing lodge. We'll be baxk

The lodges are kept to a pleasant standard and include hot tub / flat screen TVs and all mod cons but are priced abit on the high side and could be a idea to offer a returning customer discount .

Lovely lodge with everything you need

A nice weekend break

The location of the lodge is lovely they are very clean and well maintained. Everyone we met during our stay was very helpful and accomodating. The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely touch, I would definitely stay at Ashlea Pool again.

Fantastic Lodge with plenty of room for 6 people and very comfortable.

Beautiful lodge!

Just brilliant

Despite being the most basic lodge, Mandarin was more than adequate for a short break for two. The living area was roomy and veranda was lovely to sit out on in good weather.
I was pleasantly surprised with level of cleanliness within the lodge; the carpets, linen, kitchen and bathroom well all pristine. The view from the veranda out onto the fishing pool was lovely to walk out to each morning.
10/10

Great lodge for a family

Excellent cabin and exceeded our expectations

Lodge was full of everything you need even down to washing up liquid, kitchen roll etc. linen was great quality and the lodge was extremely clean,

Very comfortable accommodation!

Well equipped, maybe a little "snug" but clean and comfortable

Very clean en comfortable cottage.

Amazing lodge with all the homely comforts and more. Welcome pack was great. And a lovely surprise.

Lovely lodge, very clean, loved the hot tub and veranda.

The lodges are first class. Much of the equipment was virtually new and we had the bonus of a freezer which we had not expected

Beautiful lodge but hot tub has seen better days

Only one complaint about the Goldcrest lodge and that is the tv. Fantastic big 3D smart tv with standard digital reception(You don't get all the channels), but the satellite TV is in the bedroom on a small TV.
May I suggest that the satellite be attached to the big TV, I'm sure this would be appreciated by the guests.

Really lovely few days at Ashley Pools and the VIPER lodges were lovely........just missing a wi-fi or broadband connection in the lodge & it would have been perfect!

First class cabin. Had everything.

We went for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was beautiful, the cabin was amazing and the hot tub was just a plus! Can't wait to go back, we didn't want to leave!

The lodge was very comfortable and had all you needed for a great holiday.

Very clean and well equipped lodge, would highly recommend.

We were located right on the edge of the lake, which we didn't expect, so it was far better than our expectations and perfect for watching the children fishing.

Excellent lodge in peaceful surroundings great for a relaxing break !

Lovely cabin, very warm and cosy with comfy beds :)

Smaller lodge but just right for us , very comfortable. May need a little updating .
Lovely place .

Lovely place will go again.

Lodge was spotlessly clean, beautiful location, hot tub fantastic. A place to visit if you want to 100% chill. Nearest town is approx 4-5 miles away, so if you are after pubs its not the place to visit! I would certainly stay there again. Highly recommended.

Hot tub........fantastic attraction!!

Plenty of room very clean great views

Absolute amazed by how nice it was & the welcome hamper was a lovely touch.

Spotless, everything you need, luxurious. Even nicer than the pictures. I would highly recommend you pay the bit extra and stay in this cabin, best on the site.

The lodge was beautiful. I didnt want to leave.

Perfect Christmas getaway!

Didnt get to stay in this lodge as there was a problem with it,but we were upgraded to kestrel vip,which was excellent.We were informed before our weekend started,and offered an extra night due to any inconvenience.I would recommend Ashlea Pools to anyone wanting a relaxed few days away from the rat race .

Wonderful,everything you need.

spotlessly clean and comfortable everthing you could wish for

Lovely lodge . It was very clean and well equipped

A freezer would of been helpful

Excellent overall, just a couple of minors which we
mentioned on leaving and I am sure these will be addressed.
Hot tubs were a great luxury and well with paying a bit more
for.

The lodge was really clean & comfortable, never stayed in such a well equipped holiday home.

Amazing cabin loved the decor the shower wasnt the best was very cold and took ages to get luke warm. Bed was comfortable. Was abit expensive for two people staying only 3 nights and not being able to check in till four and having leave at 10am takes two days away from us

Brilliant weekend with the girls! Hot tub was amazing! So was all that was included in the log cabin! Will be booking again for next year

A clean and comfortable lodge. Ideal for a couple.

We booked up quite late for a stay in a Mandarin plus chalet. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome including the very nice comfort pack of local goods. The site is very nicely set out, tranquil and peaceful. The chalet is really first class, impeccably clean and very well appointed throughout. If your wanting a good base camp from which to explore, book this place. The hot tub was a lovely touch. Excellent quality all around.

Beautiful lodge unfortunately the fire alarm decided to randomly go off at 1am but lasted 3 minutes and stopped. Random!

Home from home

Very comfortable.

Brilliant accommodation just a shame you could not see more of the lake

Fantastic lodge, just a little too close to surrounding lodges to get a 10!

Very nice place to chill out and relax. Hot tub was great and good quality not like some of the older ones about. Have to bring your own entertainment as none on site and the shop is really good with plenty of choice and drinks. Lodge was super clean and everything you needed. Have fun if you do decide to book.

An absolutely beautiful location. The lodge was first class and it was wonderful having the hot tub!

We had a wonderful weeks holiday, enjoying the glorious surroundings and comfortable lodge,especially the hot tub!

Just a couple of small issues with DVD and CD player

The lodge was lovely, and the view over the pool was stunning.

Lodge was perfect had everything you need like home from home and kids loved the hot tub

Great cabin, modern fixtures, value for money.

Although the lodge was clean there was some mould in the en-suite shower and the blind in the kitchen was dirty and sticky. There was a repaired crack in the bath.

COULD DO WITH A HIGHER BACKED SETTEE.

Excellent accommodation. Clean, spacious with a lovely private hot tub for relaxing in

Beautiful lodge, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Hot tub is a bonus and accommodation is dog friendly - what more could you want?

Beautiful lodge, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Hot tub is a bonus and accommodation is dog friendly - what more could you want?

The lodge was everything we wanted and more, loved the hot tub.

Lodge was lovely and roomy. The kitchen was extremely well equipped - best we've ever had. Fixtures and fittings were high quality. We were lucky with the weather so made good use of the outdoor seating. We were in lodge 18 and would book that one again.

Excellent lodge (no 11)

Everything was wonderful. The only thing we didn't like was all the spider webs on the outside of the lodge, outdoor table and chairs and the children's play area.

A lovely tranquill parc in a stunning part of the country. We would definately go back.

Excellent relaxing break will be back next year.

Fantastic staff greeted us with a hamper of lovely food. Log cabin was spotless and luxurious with a beautiful,hot tub. Didn't want to leave.

The accommodation was very comfortable and was in good condition. We would have liked a toaster but appreciate that work surface area is at a premium in the galley style kitchen. Other than that we could not fault the chalet.

Fantastic, staff are great . Lodges are luxury

A shelter/roof over the hot tub would be nice.

Several lightbulbs not working inside and out! Other than that lodge was amazing and really well equipped, shame they let them selves down on a small thing like lightbulbs and a battery in the wall clock!

The accommodation was excellent and we would definitely recommend the Kingfisher Supreme VIP Lodge. It had everything you could need and the hot tub was fantastic!

We stayed in Mandarin Lodge. Extremely comfortable and it had everything you could wish for in a holiday lodge.
Ample sized lounge with leather sofa's, a good sized television and dvd player, dining table and four chairs.The bedrooms are small but room aplenty for a couple. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept soundly.
The balcony was spacious with enough room for a table and chairs. A highlight was going out first thing in the morning to look at the antics of the ducks and black swans on the lake.

Very Clean, modern, relaxing lodge. Had everything we needed and more. Everything was explained in the handy books and leaflets to show local attractions. Just the perfect setting!!

Beautiful Lodge peaceful and lovely setting, owners friendly, and a small shop on site. Hot tub fantastic and comfortable warm lodge with everything you need to feel at home. Would definitely recommend and return

Area wonderful, quiet and lodge and hot tub great. No faults about the place.

The lodge was well equipped with everything we needed and it was nice that we could take our dogs.

Everything about ashlea pools was to a very high standard we will for sure be returning

Beautiful place to stay for peace and quiet will defo stay again everything always immaculate

Attractive site, very helpful staff and excellent accommodation.

Great mid week break with our two dogs. Very quiet location, very clean, really great fishing. Very clean accommodation with everything you need, including a hot tub!

We had a fantastic mid week away with our 3 small children (aged 7,4 and 2) The lodge it’s self was fantastic lots of space and a very well stocked kitchen. We all enjoyed the site we used the play area and went fishing and enjoyed local walks. We hired a bike for our 7 year old and our younger 2 had taken scooters. The shop was well stocked and the staff were very helpful we left a child’s blanket behind and Ashley pools halpkey posted it back to us! All in all it was a lovely stay and we hope to visit again

If you want a nice relaxing break then this has to be on your list. All the staff were great and the Welcome Basket was a great surprise. On site there was a small shop which had the essentials you would need. So to sum up will definitely visit again at some point.

Lovely relaxing time

Peaceful break, beautiful settings and wonderful staff

Lovely holiday, very helpful and pleasant stay and beautiful location

The perfect break away. So clean and staff were so friendly. Thank you for everything

We returned home on the Monday and booked again for the following year. 2019

good value,nice place, good to tour from but no wi fi

Lovely holiday and great value for money!, loved the hot tub and it was so peaceful, only downfall was that there was not many shops around. loved the welcome basket upon arrival, will definitely be going back :)
