Woodland Escapes
England / Ludlow, Shropshire
Feel compelled to relax in a luxury dome,
lodge or treehouse, soothingly set amongst 45 acres of magical
Shropshire countryside.
There's a certain kind of pedigree to Woodland
Escapes. Featured in the Daily Mirror's Top Ten Glamping Sites, and included
on the BBC show Escape to the Country, you can be sure that this is far from an
everyday countryside retreat.
Set amongst 45 birdsong-filled, flower-strewn
acres of Shropshire countryside that's teeming with wildlife, you can enjoy
panoramic views over six counties from your chosen luxury dome - one sleeping a
family of four, and the other ideal for two.
Both domes are equipped with all the comforts
you might expect from a deluxe hotel room, including downy beds with plump
pillows, and a private bathroom with a piping hot shower (and that
all-important flushing toilet).
Perfect for families who want to get back to
nature in style, Star Dome is nestled in a private wooded glade that's
reminiscent of a fairytale. There's a stargazing window for you to enjoy that
ever-changing sky in all its glory, a dining table and chairs, and a natural
fire to warm your evenings.
When it's time to turn in, you'll find a dreamy
kingsize bed that's made for lazy lie-ins, while the kitchenette is ideal for whipping
up tasty snacks. Oh - and there's a barbecue for al fresco dining, too (a
must!)
For an extra treat, why not pop open a glass of
bubbles and greet the sunset with a dip in the Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub?
Discover the wildly romantic Tree Dome on an
elevated platform, secluded under a whispering canopy of trees. If you're a
lover of all things culinary, you're in luck - once you've cooked in the
hand-crafted wood-fired oven, there'll be no going back!
If you prefer more traditional accommodation,
Rowan Lodge is a beautiful open-plan living space for two (there's a foldout
bed for smaller guests), with a wraparound deck that's perfect for morning
coffee and evening tipples alike.
Dog-friendly and sleeping up to four guests - two adults and two children - Mountain View Lodge also boasts a contemporary open-plan design, and a wraparound deck that offers panoramic views of over eight counties! Savour those views from your dedicated outdoor breakfast area, then fire up the clay pizza oven later on, or add a dip in the Scandinavian spa hydro wood-fired hot tub as an extra-special treat (glass of bubbles optional).
Last but by no means least is the Star
Gazing Treehouse, where you can sleep amidst a private glade under the canopy
and experience a real connection to nature in a beautifully appointed tree
cabin with a wrap-around deck, for full appreciation of the gorgeous
environment.
Inside, a comfy L-shaped sofa and wood-burning
stove add to the country cabin feel, and it can comfortably accommodate four
guests aged twelve upwards in a king master bedroom and separate loft bedroom.
Don't forget to use the telescope for those all-important star-spotting nights under
clear skies.
In the mood to explore? Just six miles away lies
Ludlow, the "loveliest town in England", filled with listed buildings
and tempting riverside cafés. If you've brought the kids along, nearby
Worcestershire is home to the famous West Midlands Safari Park, while Mortimer
Forest and the Clee Hills are ideal if you prefer something a little more
active, with plenty of scope for invigorating walks and cycle rides.
Head back to Woodland Escapes just in time to
gather round the camp fire for marshmallow toasting, catching up on life and
love as the first stars appear in the evening sky.
With so much to relax you, you're sure to sleep
soundly and silently...which is just as well, as you get to do it all again
tomorrow!
Dogs are permitted upon prior arrangement but must sign the property's dog policy upon check-in.
