The lodge itself is fantastic. Incredibly well designed, the aesthetics are very relaxing and it's a great place to be. The hot tub was fantastic. The kitchen and all of the other areas of the lodge are well equipped and the cleanliness on arrival was truly second to none. They've thought of all eventualities and that's important when you're renting a lodge like this. Towels were provided for showering and hottub. There is a washing machine is required, dishwasher was provided to us with 3 tablets one for each night, and as we were still coming out of summer, they left fans for us as well which were needed on one of the nights. The views of the hills opposite are spectacular and it's a lovely place to be whether in the hot tub or sitting on the front of the lodge with a coffee in the morning. The lodge is touching distance to Welshpool and we used Alltrails to find some nice morning hikes on each of our full days there. One thing to note, we did feel that the mattress perhaps could have been better quality, however other than that I don't think we could fault it. We 100 would recommend this lodge to family and friends!

This was our 3rd time at Pool View, and as always it was spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained. David and Sonia go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect for their guests, always pleasant and polite but still give you privacy to enjoy the lodge. Don't worry David I will be back Rob Rob & Kath Hankins

Whittington Castle stands in the village of Whittington in northern Shropshire, close to the Welsh border and the old fort of Old Oswestry. It began as a motte-and-bailey castle and was rebuilt in the 13th century, with buildings along a curtain wall, five towers on a raised platform, a moat and an outer gatehouse or barbican.

Tip: Look for the viewing mound in the centre of the site, which may be the oldest of its kind found in England.

Plas Newydd in Llangollen was the home of Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, two Irish ladies who eloped and set up house together in the late 18th century. It began as a five-roomed stone cottage and was enlarged with many Gothic features. It is now a museum.

Tip: Look closely at the outside of the house as well as the rooms, since the patchwork of reclaimed oak carvings is its most unusual feature.

Stokesay is a moated, walled manor house near Craven Arms. Though it looks like a castle, it was really a lightly defended mansion, with work completed by 1291. The stone hall and solar block sit behind two stone towers, and the hall keeps its 13th-century wooden-beamed ceiling. The timber and plaster gatehouse at the entrance dates from the 17th century.

Erddig is a late 17th-century country house near Wrexham, saved from dereliction in the 1970s. The Yorke family had an unusual relationship with their servants and commemorated them in portraits and poems, and the servants' quarters and estate workshops survive well. Outbuildings include the Joiners' Workshop, Smithy, Sawmill and Stables, and the house holds a fine collection of 17th-century furniture.

Tip: Postcodes aren't always recognised by sat navs, so follow the brown signs on the A525 or A483. Parking is free. Dogs are welcome in the garden and on the estate on a lead, but not in the Hall, Hayloft Restaurant, shop or Wolf's Den (assistance dogs are allowed everywhere). Check the National Trust dog page before you go, as rules can change.
