Liked Lovely out of the way spot for a hand full of vans. Kind of dark sky area. Lovely walks nearby and a fab church and castle about 1 mile up the road in the next village. Sadly no local pub. The site had chickens wandering around a pleasant quietatmosphere. Detailed directions by the owners were a real help. Greeted and given all the information we needed. Weather was Aweful

Disliked No local pub/shop

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review, for recommending us and for sharing your photos too! We’re really pleased you enjoyed the peaceful, out-of-the-way setting, the walks and our dark skies – being away from lots of artificial light is definitely one of the advantages of our rural location.

It’s great to hear you explored the local area too, including the church and castle ruins nearby. We’re also glad our directions were helpful and that you received all the information you needed when you arrived. And, of course, it sounds as though the chickens made an appearance during your stay too! 🐔

We completely understand your comment about there being no pub or shop within walking distance. Being tucked away in the countryside does mean we’re a little removed from those amenities, but hopefully the peace, views, wildlife and walks make up for it.

Unfortunately, the Shropshire weather clearly wasn’t on its best behaviour for your visit! We’re glad you still managed to get out and explore despite it.

Thank you again for choosing The Shepherd’s Loft. We’d love to welcome you back – hopefully next time with some sunshine and clear skies for a bit of stargazing!

Liked Clean, tidy, easy to park on site. Welcoming owners. Lovely and quiet with good views. Good facilities.

Disliked Shower a little small and flimsy but good working order.

It’s also lovely to hear that you felt welcomed – as a small family-run site, we really want guests to feel at home when they arrive.

Thank you for your feedback about the shower too. We appreciate that it is fairly compact, although we’re glad everything was clean and in good working order. Feedback like this is always useful as we continue to look at ways we can improve our facilities.

We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and would visit us again. We’d love to welcome you back to The Shepherd’s Loft in the future.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review – and for adding us to your favourites! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peace and quiet, the views and, most importantly, had a good night’s sleep.

It sounds as though you received the full Shepherd’s Loft welcome, including a greeting from one of the chickens! They do have a habit of making themselves part of the welcoming committee!

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for recommending us to friends. We’re really pleased you enjoyed our peaceful location and would visit us again.

We were sorry to read that you would have liked somewhere to wash up, as we do have a designated outdoor washing-up sink located by the toilet and shower facilities. We’re sorry if this wasn’t obvious during your stay, and we’ll take your comment on board as it may be that we need to make the signage a little clearer.

Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to The Shepherd’s Loft for another peaceful stay in the future.

Liked Host extremely welcoming.
The eggs in thr morning were delicious 😋
Liked the walk down the farm (not so sure about the dogs lol)

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending us to others! We’re really pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the site, and it was lovely to hear that the fresh eggs went down well too!

We’re glad you enjoyed having a wander down through the farm. We did smile at your comment about the dogs! They can certainly make themselves heard when someone walks past, but they are securely contained in their kennels – they obviously take their role as farm security very seriously!

We’re delighted you found The Shepherd’s Loft peaceful, welcoming and good value. We deliberately keep things fairly simple here, with the countryside, farm and surroundings being a big part of the experience.

Thank you again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back for another peaceful break in the future.

Liked Everything loved the peace and quiet with fantastic views and good walks
Loved the fresh duck and hen eggs in the morning

Disliked Having to leave

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review – and for sharing all of your beautiful photos too! We especially loved seeing your pictures of the eclipse, sunrise and the walks around the farm.

We’re delighted that you found the peace and quiet you were looking for and enjoyed the views and walks. Being tucked away in the Shropshire countryside is a big part of what makes The Shepherd’s Loft special to us, so it’s lovely when guests enjoy those simple things too – the dark skies, an early morning sunrise, a countryside walk and, of course, fresh hen and duck eggs for breakfast!

And we have to say, “having to leave” is probably our favourite kind of dislike!

Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for recommending us to others. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back – hopefully for another peaceful break with equally spectacular skies.

Liked Quite remote country location. Dark skies, great for stargazing. Nice quiet site, good facilities, elec and water on pitch. Very unspoiled and rural. Enjoyed staying here.

Disliked Country lanes require care when approaching, especially in large motorhome.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending us to friends! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peace and quiet, rural surroundings and having electric and water conveniently available on your pitch.

It’s especially lovely to hear you enjoyed our dark skies. Being tucked away in the Shropshire countryside with very little light pollution means that, on a clear night, the stars can be quite spectacular – definitely one of the advantages of being a little off the beaten track!

Thank you also for mentioning the country lanes. They do require a little extra care, particularly with a larger motorhome, which is why we always recommend following our arrival directions rather than relying solely on sat nav.

We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would both recommend us and visit again. We look forward to welcoming you back for another peaceful stay – hopefully with another clear night for some stargazing!

Liked We enjoyed meeting the animals. It was also peaceful which is what we wanted.

Disliked The facilities were limited for the amount of pitches. I would have thought there should be more. Unfortunately other guests kept leaving it messy which was not the owners fault.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review and for recommending us to friends. We’re delighted you enjoyed meeting the animals and found the peaceful atmosphere you were looking for.

We’re sorry that the behaviour of other guests affected your experience of the facilities. We work hard to keep the site and facilities clean and tidy, so it’s disappointing when they are not left as they were found.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the number of facilities. As a small site, we currently have one toilet and shower facility, although we have already laid the concrete base for an additional toilet and hope to have this installed very soon. We’re always looking at ways to improve the site while retaining the small, peaceful feel that our guests enjoy.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased you would visit again, and we hope to welcome you back for another peaceful stay in the future!
