A moated medieval manor house in Shropshire that has changed very little since the 13th century.
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.
Tip: Book advance tickets online through English Heritage, and finish with a break in the tearoom, which is open to all and welcomes dogs.

A ruined Norman castle above the River Teme with views over the Shropshire countryside.
Ludlow Castle is a partly ruined medieval fortress in the Shropshire market town of Ludlow, standing on a high promontory above the River Teme. Probably founded around 1075, it was one of the first stone castles built in England and later became the seat of the Council of Wales and the Marches.
Tip: There is no parking at the castle itself, so plan to park in the town and walk in.

Dramatic riverside Welsh border ruins with a tall Norman keep, free to explore and welcoming to dogs.
Clun Castle is a ruined Welsh border castle on a rocky mound beside the River Clun, on the edge of the small, picturesque town of Clun. Founded shortly after the Norman Conquest, it still has its tall 13th century keep, which unusually sits on the side of the mound, along with extensive earthworks to wander around.
Tip: Wear sturdy footwear as the grounds have steep slopes and uneven ground; there is a free car park next to the castle, with toilets, reached by a footbridge with steps.

A castellated Herefordshire manor house with walled gardens and 1,500 acres of parkland to explore.
Croft Castle is a castellated 17th-century manor house that has been the home of the Croft family for many centuries. Inside, you can look round the castle rooms, while outside there are colourful herbaceous borders, a secret garden and a walled garden with a small working vineyard, historic apple trees and a glasshouse.
Tip: Dogs on leads are welcome in the garden and parkland but not in the house. Satnav users should enter HR6 0BL, as the National Trust recommends.

A Grade I listed Tudor hall with one of the world's oldest treehouses in its grounds.
Pitchford Hall is a Grade I listed Tudor country house about six miles from Shrewsbury, built around 1560. Its timber-framed, black-and-white look is striking, and the estate has an orangery and walled garden.

A red sandstone castle above the town, home to a regimental museum and views from Laura's Tower.

It is set in the year 1900 and opened in 1973.

We would go back. It was relaxing and cosy.Plenty of nice pubs . Good walks and places of interest within a short distance.
Helpful staff. Clean lodge. Plenty of plates and glasses provided. Towels could be better quality. Lovely showers. A nice welcome pack provided as well as plenty of basic cleaning items. The hot tub was great to relax in. A sieve could be added as well as a table lamp for reading.A great short break.
Quiet location with gorgeous grounds disappointed at the lodge awful beds and sofas WiFi connection and speed slow
Lovely and quiet place to stay. Cabins are well equipped and cosy and very clean! Facilities were fab, great to have a separate dog run and added bonus having a cafe and pizza place on site. Grounds are immaculate. Loved it!
Amazing stay, thank you ??
loved the lodge
A great stay
Sofa could do with update as showing signs of wear
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 break very relaxing
Worth the money. Nice accommodation and relaxing holiday.
Very clean and comfortable for one of the older lodges, well maintained
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.
Great small lodge, perfect for two adults two children. Beds were very comfortable. All facilities you would need for a short break.
Very nice lodge, bed very comfy, equipment very useful, big fans in the wardrobes, nice touch.
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!
Value for money but in need of tlc especially the outside of the cabin
Really beautiful interior and comfy sofa / beds. This is one of the smaller lodges available but my children had plenty of space to play with toys and enjoy themselves.
Fab lodge, very clean and well maintained. Excellent holiday.
Fabulous has everything you need & more.
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.
Nice holiday. Lovely site and lodges. Friendly and helpful staff. Ideal place if you want a peaceful break away from all the hustle and bussle.
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
Lovely lodge. Has everything you need.
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!
The lodge was spotless, beautiful furniture and lights, very comfortable. Enormous walk in shower.
Would definitely be back.
Lodge lovely and clean and hot tub great.
Very peaceful and relaxing.
Staff very helpful especially leanna .
Only one criticism, someone checks the Jacuzzis everyday at random times, just walks in unannounced so no privacy.
Lovely setting. Hot tub a real bonus
Lovely clean and tidy site. Ideal base to explore Shropshire and North Wales. Shop didn't seem as well stocked as our previous stay here.
Decent staff on hand during the day.
Beautiful site. Ideal for a family break.
Fantastic few days away. Loved everything about it.
Ive already booked to go again next year
Paradise! Really lovely place for a peaceful and quiet break with great helpful friendly staff. Really enjoyed the fishing too, and the breakfast in the cafe was spot on! Will be back for sure.
Lovely lodge. Peaceful and dog friendly. Plenty space in lodge. Only small note would be better outdoor seating. We had bench and table. Chairs would hv been more convenient for enjoying the Lovely sunshine we had.
Had a lovely 2 night stay, very tranquil and the lodges are beautiful with everything you need.
Had a great time. Will defo go back at some point.
Beautiful park with very peaceful surroundings. It is a little disappointing that the cafe/bar doesn’t stay open in the evenings as it would have been really nice to stop by for a drink after dinner. The lodge was comfortable and exceptionally clean. The hot tub was wonderful. Overall an excellent break, we will definitely return.
