  • Peaceful Shropshire farm park with views of Lodge Hill and The Wrekin

  • On-site half-acre fishing lake; fresh eggs available
Get set for a peaceful stay at The Shepherd's Loft, a family-run farm in the Shropshire countryside with just excellent views of Lodge Hill and The Wrekin. It sits in the quiet village of Frodesley, which is not only easy to get to but also splendid for stargazing (it's near the dark skies of the Shropshire Hills). You'll know for sure that you're in the countryside, with fresh eggs for sale at the gate. Guests here can look forward to good on-site facilities, including a well-maintained private toilet and a hot shower unit, both kept to a high standard for your comfort. A farm shop is five minutes' drive away, and more shops and supermarkets are in Shrewsbury, 25 minutes' drive away. How to fill your days? There are walks directly from the site, plus plenty more to explore in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. Bring a rod to try the fishing pond on site, which is available to use for an additional fee. For culinary treats, you might also like to head to the foodie town of Ludlow (35 minutes).

What customers say

This small, quiet campsite offers a peaceful rural escape with beautiful countryside views. Guests frequently praise the friendly welcome and the cleanliness of the facilities. Some visitors mention the single combined toilet and shower as being insufficient when busy, and a few have noted a lack of hot water at the washing-up area. Farm produce, including eggs and jams, is available and popular.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for recommending us to others. We’re really pleased you found the site clean, tidy and easy to access once here, and that you enjoyed the peace, quiet and views.

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!

We’re really pleased you found the facilities clean and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Thank you for recommending us and saying you’d visit again – we’d be very happy to welcome you back for another restful stay in the Shropshire countryside.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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 the walk down the farm (not so sure about the dogs lol)

Nice peaceful basic site.. good value.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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!

Disliked very narrow lanes getting their. a lot of biting flies.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for recommending us to friends. We’re pleased you enjoyed our location and would consider visiting again.

We appreciate your feedback about the narrow lanes. Being tucked away in the countryside does mean the approach includes some narrow Shropshire lanes, and we always advise guests to follow our directions carefully and take their time.

As for the biting flies, unfortunately that’s one of the less glamorous parts of staying in the countryside, particularly during the warmer months! We’re sorry they were a nuisance during your stay.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another, hopefully more bite-free, visit

Local attractions

Once you’ve warmed up on the local footpaths, set off for longer strolls in the Shropshire Hills, perhaps starting from the walkers’ mecca Church Stretton (15 minutes’ drive) at the foot of the Long Mynd. Caer Caradoc (10 minutes) and the Wrekin (half an hour) are close by if you’d rather tackle a mountain or two. Quad biking, horse riding and River Severn canoe trips are all possible too if you don’t mind a drive of 45 minutes or so. ​For a bit of local history, start with Acton Burnell Castle (five minutes), the seat of the first Parliament in 1283, then move on to Wroxeter (15 minutes) to explore the Roman City and then take a tour and tasting at the vineyard next door. You could also embark on a Charles Darwin-themed tour of Shrewsbury (25 minutes). Ironbridge (25 minutes) is another fine place for a glimpse into the past, as is the lovely National Trust estate Attingham Park (20 minutes). Or try the Telford Steam Railway (25 minutes) for a special day out.
