What a fantastic lodge. It was lush, clean, well equipped and nicely fitted out. Plenty of glasses and plates and cutlery. Was great to have decent size mugs for tea and coffee, there was plastic plates, cups, bowls and cutlery for the littles ones which is always a bonus.The beds were comfy and the blinds kept the room dark for a good night's sleep.

Lovely place, really friendly staff & beautiful lake, there is a train line at the rear but the frequency of the trains is very low and not late or early. The Cafe is to be commended for sure, the pizzas & milkshakes are to die for. Lodge was really nice, the facilities were great & the hot tub out of this world. The beds take a little getting used to, I will say & it was a shame that the second room we could not make into a double & it didn't have a TV but other than that the place was amazing. Clean, well-equipped with excellent bathrooms. I would definitely recommend this place for families to get away & relax.

It was a beautiful place to stay. We had a wonderfully relaxing time. The Mandarin Lodge (Plus) was superb, spacious and clean - with a great hot tub. There's an all-in-one building, as you enter the grounds, which has the reception, cafe/restaurant and mini shop in it - and I would highly recommend having a pizza, it was scrumptious. We wouldn't hesitate to stop here again!

Fantastic lodge, paying for the WiFi meant we got great service so when streaming there was not the usual buffering we have had previously at other places. Hot tub was nicely placed to give privacy. Lovely and big too.

Apologies, I wanted to do this review as soon as we got back. But, naturally, life gets in the way. However, my other half & I were determined to get a review in!Id like to start with what should really be at the end: weve already booked to come back later in the year. We really enjoyed it that much!I feel we both work very hard and were looking for somewhere relatively close, peaceful and where we didnt have to travel outside the park if we didnt have to. Ashlea Pools ticked all of the boxes. It is such a lovely space and well played out. The combination of the reception, shop and restaurant works really well and is designed excellently. The lodge itself was cosy and clean; really loved the view from our decking!Leanne was on the desk throughout our stay and was very knowledgable, friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff were really accommodating despite arriving literally 1 minute before closing!I cant recommend Ashlea Pools enough. It was everything my partner & I were after and more. Cant wait to go back in November!As an add on to the lodge itself: very charming and cosy. The hot tub and facilities were spotless.

Our lodge was comfortable for us as a couple but we feel it was a tad small had there been four of us. Everything we needed was provided for a self catering break and the hot tub was brilliant for us to relax at the end of each busy day. The staff were really helpful with anything we asked and we were left alone to enjoy our restful mini-break.

This is the second time we have visited Ashley pool lodges, this time we stayed in the Kingfisher VIP pet lodge. There was 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms which were a great size. The open plan living/dining room and kitchen enables everyone to be together.It had a massive hot tub which was nice and hot and was great to be in and star gaze! We're hired a bba which was great as it was made from an old washing machine drum which we loved. We went to the pizzeria and wow their pizzas are so tasty! Lovely walks just outside the entrance and was so close to Ludlow for a day out. Can't wait to go again for our Third visit

The surrounding area is beautiful and full of wild life. The Lodge was clean and well supplied with kitchen equipment. The Cafe/Pizzeria is a 100% must try with probably the best milkshakes i've ever had. Everything is decently priced and not over priced.There is a shop part of the cafe also with any supplies you might have forgotten to bring!On a whole it was a great little break away and hopefully will be back again

Cleaning was great. Obviously it is one of the older lodges and we found it quite small in the kitchen but have booked a larger lodge and more modern for the next visit, but have no real complaints about the mandarin.

Lovely spacious lodge. Hot tub was brilliant. Site seemed very peaceful and quiet despite going in school holidays. Cute play area for younger children and we all loved the swingball when we stumbled across it near the dog exercise pen!
