The weather could have been kinder but we throughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending the Garden Lodge to others. Thanks again Liz for all of your kindness and hospitality. :-)

Chris August 2024

“It's our 2nd time back, we loved it so much last August and we decided to come back this year as it's the most wonderful place to stay.”

Liz and Andy the owners are so welcoming and approachable and will always take time out to talk to you. They joined us one evening outside when we had the fire pit on. The gardens are amazing and it was lovely to sit outside and listen to the owls and all the wildlife. It was so peaceful and relaxing.The lodge itself is cosy and comfy and has everything you need and we ate in most nights.The welcome pack was amazing and so were the scones that Liz made. Most evenings we went for a walk to watch sunset as they were stunning and then came back and sat in the garden. The only downside was coming home. It's one of my favourite places plus it's not far from lots of beautiful national trust places. If I could rate this 10 out of 10 I would. It's an ideal place for couples or people who just want to take time out.

- Chris, August 2024
Sarah August 2024

“Our second stay at Garden Lodge and it was just as good this time.”

Liz and Andy were very welcoming. It was spotlessly clean and the generous welcome pack was amazing as was the cream tea Liz very kindly provided later in the week. The Lodge was nicely furnished and the kitchen was well equiped. Lovely bedroom, super comfy bed, plenty of storage. Bathroom was great with large shower cubicle. Complimentary toiletries also offered choice of bathtowels/bathsheets and choice of duvet. Oh and by the way the garden is absolutely stunning!! Would highly recommend. We've already booked for next year!

“The most welcoming hosts we have ever had the pleasure to meet and share our time with.”

This is a gem of a cottage and the garden is just so big ! Wonderful trees plants and colours. Quiet and cosy with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Not far from Bridgnorth and the severn valley railway is a definite bonus. So is ironbridge. Lots to see and do here. We will be returning. Thank you for a memorable week.

- Andrew, May 2024
P May 2024

“The Garden Lodge was lovely, comfortable and in the lovely setting of the garden.”

The garden had lots of areas to sit and relax. The facitilies were everything required, we cooked a few meals there. The bed was very comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The host; Liz cooked scones and made some for us (even gluten free for so I wasn't left out). We had a lovely relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend.

Teena March 2024

“Yet again we were made to feel really welcome.”

It is always a pleasure to visit this property. Such a lovely setting, especially the gardens. Every time we've been we've noticed something different. An ideal base for exploring the area too.

- Teena, March 2024
Susanne December 2023

“The hosts Liz and Andrew are exceptional - as described by other guests so echo what they have said.”

. The location is great for exploring Shropshire by car. The area is in a global top ten of best places to visit in UK!

- Susanne, December 2023
John December 2023

“The Garden Lodge is in fabulous garden setting in an isolated rural location, well away from the hubbub of 21st century life.”

Our thanks to Liz and Andrew, the hosts, who are very friendly and want to ensure you have a positive experience. To have the use of a car is essential here unless you take plenty of food and plan just a rest or a walking holiday.

- John, December 2023
Trevor November 2023

“Lovely relaxing stay with with welcoming hosts.”

Great welcome pack. The shared garden was great, really peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed one night lighting the fire pit and just listening to all the night animals around. Would definitely return, thanks Liz and Andy

- Trevor, November 2023
Teena November 2023

“Yet again another super time at this property.”

It really is like a home from home and Liz and Andrew are the perfect hosts. Welcoming and informative and on hand if needed but not too in your face like some places we've stayed. The lodge is comfortable and cosy and everything you could need is there. We've already booked for next year which will be our fifth time so that says it all.

- Teena, November 2023
Joan October 2023

Bernadette September 2023

“My second stay this year in this lovely little property set within the owners beautiful garden.”

The owners go that extra mile to provide everything you could need including a great welcome basket and delicious homemade scones during the week.

- Bernadette, September 2023
Chris August 2023

“This is the best Sykes cottage that we have stayed at.”

If you are looking peace and quiet, surrounded by beautiful scenery then this is the place for you. Liz and Andy are the the perfect hosts from start to hand and were always on hand to chat or to advise on the places to explore. When you arrive they provide a welcome pack that consists of local foods and that will cater to you. The lodge itself is cosy, set within the owners garden which is yours to explore and relax in. The owners maintain the garden well, with numerous paths to explore you will always come across something new. We were able to spend most nights in the decked garden area, using the fire pit for marshmallows one night. Our hosts even joining us and having a long chat. With being in the countryside you will get to see the stars out in force and will get to enjoy the call of many animals in the night including owls. The only downfall is eventually you have to leave at some point. Oh and whilst I remember our hosts surprised us with fresh scones which were yummy.

- Chris, August 2023

Thank you for your lovely write up, it's much appreciated! We were thrilled that you used the garden areas, we love to see guests enjoy it as much as we do and thank you for inviting us to join you. Property Owner

Susanne October 2022

“The Garden Lodge is a really well laid out accommodation; all of the fixtures & fittings are of a good quality & we loved the 'bee' theme throughout!”

It was an excellent base for our hobby of geocaching with many series with in 20 minutes drive away but there are walks & cycle routes close by to enjoy the countryside too. We had a lot of rain but the lodge was so warm & cosy with a heated airer so drying our waterproofs out was not a problem! Liz & Andy were great hosts & we wanted for nothing; the welcome pack was the most generous one that we had ever had & Liz baked us delicious scones too! Our only regret is that bad weather meant that we could not spend much time in the beautiful gardens but that just means that we will have to return in sunnier climes!

- Susanne, October 2022

Thank you Susanne for your kind words and please do come and see us and the garden again, even if you're just passing by geocaching although I can't promise treasure! Property Owner

Never been back to any cottage we have booked with Sykes but will definitely return to The garden Lodge

“We received a warm welcome on our arrival at the Garden Lodge.”

The hosts willingly share their knowledge of the wildlife that visits their beautiful garden, and we felt privileged to be able to spend time there. Waking each morning to the sight and sound of a variety of birds in the trees was delightful. The Garden Lodge was inviting, warm and bright. It had everything that we could possibly have needed for our stay. The attention to detail was second to none and the Welcome Pack on arrival was a very pleasant bonus. Many thanks to Liz and Andrew. We had a very enjoyable stay at the Garden Lodge. Not only will we return but we will recommend it to others.

It was in a peaceful location set in the garden area which in the summer would be lovely to sit it.The lodge was nicely furnished ,clean ,comfortable, and had all you needed for a pleasant stay. The owners were friendly and helpful if you needed anything but allowed you all the privacy you wanted. The welcome pack was the best one we have ever had and was much appreciated. An added bonus were the different birds there including a nuthatch and a splendid cock pheasant. Would definitely recommend this property.

“I had a wonderful, relaxing week at Lodge Cottage, there was everything I needed and more and Liz and Andrew could not have been nicer.”

It is a bird lover,s paradise, on opening my bedroom curtains on the first morning there were 12/13 pheasants about 6ft. from my window, amazing, also a nuthutch. The Lodge is set in wonderful gardens with a woodland at the rear, it was so peaceful. There are two old pubs that do a good carvery within easy distance, as is Bridgnorth. Would highly recommend The Lodge for a peaceful break.

- Nancy, February 2022

Thank you Nancy for such lovely feedback. We really appreciate it and it was a pleasure to meet you. The pheasants keep coming, we think they are missing you :) Property Owner

Ross October 2021

“Garden Lodge is excellent, really special in every way.”

Although there is one tiny step into the property & a step up into the shower that did not hinder my mobility issues at all. It was a sheer joy to stay somewhere in which the owners have thought of everything in order to make your holiday relaxing, enjoyable and pleasurable. The country garden & Lodge is a delight. It is a holiday we will never forget. The owners great care and enthusiasm for both guests and their hideaway home is second to none. We were greeted with smiles from both Liz & Andrew, along with a refreshing social distanced cup of tea & natter in the garden. This couple are amazing. It may be their first season but they both would make great tutors for fellow holiday home owners. THANK YOU. The James, Devon

- Ross, October 2021
Christine October 2021

“We had a really enjoyable stay earlier this month.”

The lodge was very comfortable and more spacious than appeared in the photographs. The owners certainly went over and above to ensure our expectations were exceeded, even offering a choice of duvet weight and towel size, and we don't think the welcome pack will ever be beaten. Unfortunately we weren't able to take advantage of the wonderful outside seating areas, but enjoyed a drizzly walk exploring the beautiful garden. The location of the property was ideal for exploring the area, whilst remaining a tranquil spot to return to each evening.

There was a welcome pack to greet us with lots of goodies in. The cottage was lovely and warm which was just what was needed on such an awful day.

We would thoroughly recommend this property.

The property

Bridgnorth 3.9 miles.The Garden Lodge is a delightful, single storey lodge set in the owner’s extensive mature garden, within the hamlet of Criddon.

The lodge was a former Air Force barracks wash house but now offers a romantic retreat for couples looking to escape normal life and see what Shropshire has to offer.

Boasting an open-plan living space, here you can prepare home-cooked meals within the kitchen before settling down in front of the TV, choosing a good film to watch as you ease into the evening.

Move into the double bedroom to catch your rest, housing ample storage plus an en-suite shower room where you prepare for the day.

The wow factor of this property is the gorgeous garden, boasting almost an acre of mature trees and shrubs, making this is an ideal base for any naturalist or garden lover.

The patio area is perfect for alfresco dining on a balmy evening or for sitting under the stars toasting marshmallows over the firepit.

Venture into Bridgnorth in search of a souvenir to take back home, before stopping off at a traditional pub or restaurant to quench your thirst and sample a delicious meal.

The surrounding area is filled with natural beauty; explore country parks, impressive houses, museums and picturesque Shropshire villages, as well as easy access to the Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford, and Ironbridge Gorge, considered the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

History lovers will be drawn to the 16th century Elizabethan manor, Upton Cressett Hall or the remains of Bridgnorth Castle, a 12th century structure that was demolished upon Oliver Cromwell’s orders.

The River Severn is not far away and provides an idyllic setting for riverside walks and cycles.

The Garden Lodge offers a delightful base for couples to call home, providing access to many quaint towns and villages in Shropshire. .

About the location

BRIDGNORTH

Much Wenlock 8 miles; Ironbridge 15 miles; Shrewsbury 20 miles; Ludlow 20 miles; Church Stretton 20 miles.

The market town of Bridgnorth lies in two very distinct halves - the High Town and the Low Town - separated by the red sandstone ridge on which the town is built. The two halves are connected by winding streets and flights of steps, or there is always the steep funicular railway, enabling the weary traveller to glimpse what Charles I called "the finest view in all my kingdom". A bustling Saturday street market provides an ample excuse to explore the town and examine the castle ruins, which lean at a greater angle than the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Flowing below is the River Severn, providing many pleasant riverside walks. The Severn Valley Railway runs between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster, and runs a variety of steam and diesel engines through picturesque country stations. In the areas surrounding Bridgnorth, there are a wealth of country parks, impressive houses, museums and picturesque Shropshire villages, as well as easy access to The Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford, and Ironbridge Gorge, with its 10 museums and striking landscape. The area offers excellent walking, and with the popular destinations of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Church Stretton all within easy reach, it is ideal for a visit any time of the year.
