"We had a great week at Holmside."
The location was perfect set down a 3/4 mile farm track and with lovely open views of the countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed the secluded position of the lodge and the peace we found there. It was lovely and warm and the beds so comfortable. Julie was welcoming and always there if we needed her, she even bought candles and a torch when we had a power cut and offered to drive out to collect fish and chips! We spent most evenings relaxing in the hot tub watching the stars and counting satellites. Thanks for a lovely break at the end of a busy year. We recommend.

"Just back from a wonderful week at Holmside lodge."
Amazing place to escape everyday life. So beautiful and tranquil but not to far away from places to visit. The lodge was so nice clean and certainly well kept by Julie, who was at hand if you ever needed her. Obviously the hottub was the big bonus and was well used. The gardens were brilliant for lazy summer days chilling with a book and lots of wildlife to watch. A holiday lodge with everything you would ever need inc pizza oven and barbecue in its own area. Certainly a holiday we will look to return to and would highly recommend. Stephen, Caroline and Arabella x
Thank you for your kind words, we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us & hope to see you again in the future Property Owner

"After many years of staying in these types of rural lodge accommodations my wife and I have to agree that Holmside has been the absolute best."
Recieved a friendly welcome upon arrival with information about the property and our stay and then we were left in complete peace to enjoy everything that it has to offer. Great gardens with fantastic views outside and inside the lodge everything had been thought about carefully and we could not think of anything that could be done to improve it. We visited the local towns of Wem and Market Drayton where we were lucky enough to arrive at both on carnival day. We also visited Hawkstone Hall and had extensive walks in the spectacular location. The hot tub is completely private and was very welcome after our day of exercise. We hope to visit Holmside again as we are both big fans of the shropshire countryside and staying here would be the best way to explore it. Highly recommended
You certainty timed your visit well! It’s great when guests throw themselves into the country experience as it can add so much to precious time away. Really glad you both enjoyed your stay, here’s to the next time. J & A x Property Owner

"What a lovely lodge to stay in for few nights away."
Very clean and has got everything you need. The people are very welcoming and friendly, they were super helpful. Beds, kitchen, dining area all well set out. The place is extremely peaceful and quiet with having your own privacy. We loved the hot tub to the max especially in the night time with the lights on facing the moon. We have also enjoyed doing bbq outdoors in the seating area which was cool. Would highly recommend to friends and family.Thank you so much for everything x
A pleasure to meet you all & we’re so glad you enjoyed all the facilities & appreciated the peace & quiet Holmside offers our guests. Hope to see you again in the future. J&A x Property Owner

"We had the loveliest time away at Holmside - the area is so private and peaceful so perfect for some time away."
This was definitely one of our favourite places we have stayed, the lodge has everything you could need, as well as the added bonus of the hot tub and outside dining/barbecue! We also felt very welcome when we arrived and were informed of everything we would need to know! Have already recommended this place to family/friends :) Thanks again!

"First of all, a big thank you for Julie and Andrew for all their hard work, which you can see in absolutely every corner of the lodge which is spotless clean."
Second of all we can't tell you how lovely the views and surroundings are so you must have to book and enjoy. We have been very lucky to have 2 full days of sunny weather, so we enjoyed the hot tub at the max
Lovely to meet you all & thank you for the Romanian wine & food tasting, we really enjoyed it. Julie & Andrew x Property Owner
