Rowan Tree Lodge with Hot Tub, a beautiful Woodland Retreat in Shropshire

Step inside Rowan Tree Lodge on our peaceful woodland estate and you'll feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of home. With its contemporary open plan design, the living and dining space are an inviting site after a long journey. Even before you unpack you will be planning a lazy afternoon on the wrap around deck and an even longer evening catching up with good company and a glass of something chilled. Rowan Tree Lodge is situated in a site of outstanding natural beauty and special scientific interest. Access is from a private road that winds its way down through eight acres of woodland to reveal panoramic views across six counties.

In the cosy living room area, you can sit back and relax on winter evenings next to the log burner on the comfortable L shaped sofa. The lodge has a fully equipped modern kitchen, dining room area, bathroom with shower and a lovely double bedroom with a comfy double bed and large walk in wardrobe. Situated on the deck is a two person Scandinavian wood fired hot tub which you an add as a special treat for an additional £55 (please note that the hot tub does not have jets out of respect of the wildlife. The hot tub will be lit on your day of arrival and includes one basket of logs. Extra logs can be purchased from the main house). Rowan Tree Lodge also has an outdoor BBQ (charcoal not included), outdoor breakfast area (including dining set and sofa), hammock and chiminea. Dogs are also very welcome at an additional cost of £25 per dog which is due in cash on arrival. (Max 2). Logs can be pre ordered and purchased for £6 per bag.

Please note that although secluded, this is the least secluded property we have at Woodland Escapes which is reflected in the price (approx. 40 meters from the main house). For more secluded properties and for properties suitable for children and more people head to Woodland Escapes to see more.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Shropshire Hills. Enjoy features like a spa tub. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a fireplace in the cabin.

Perfect Getaway
The lodge was perfect for us. Cosy, warm, all facilities, utensils, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, luxury toiletries, spotlessly clean and private. A peaceful haven to recharge away from city life.

Quiet surroundings
We stayed for two nights as a stop gap when we were holidaying in the area. Although the cabin is by the car park and owners house it still felt private. It was well equipped with coffee, teas, shower gel etc but is very cosy and cramped in the living area. We also felt in places it was looking a bit tired. Didn’t use the hot tub so can’t comment on that. Plenty of information sent before arrival. Check in was via a phone call and we never got to meet anyone. The first part of the track from the main road is awful with massive pot holes, it gets better once you hit the tarmac. It could be the first part does not belong to the property so can’t be made any better but it would help if some of the holes were filled in. It was certainly a very peaceful place and was lovely hearing the owls at night.

Excellent stay at Rowan Tree Lodge
My girlfriend and myself had a fantastic time at the lodge. The area was lovely and secluded despite being next to the main house. There were amazing views in the local area and the lodge itself was clean and cosy. We highly recommend staying here if you want a lovely private getaway in the countryside!

Lovely stay!
Wonderful mini break for our honeymoon. Myself, my husband and dog. The property is close to the main house, which I read in previous reviews but this didn't matter at all as we had full privacy. The lodge is equipped with everything needed for a luxury stay. The whole area is so peaceful , quiet and calm. I'd return to this place in a heartbeat :)

The location of Rowan Tree Lodge was tranquil and unique and very peaceful. We loved our time there. Sitting in the hot-tub and listening to the birdsong was a real treat. Ludlow and Tenbury Wells are both well worth a visit.

Great if you want a driveway escape
I booked rowan lodge for my girlfriends birthday. I saw it was a woodland escape so assumed it would be remote, no one around and the pictures showed there would be a lovely view. Well, we turned up to find out we were situated on the house owners driveway and could hear the goings on out on the drive and there was no woodland view unless you count the tree with the broken branch that was in the way of that view or the small gap that you could see the house. We paid 55 pounds for what was meant to be a hot tub. The hot tub was basically a bath for two people. They had already warmed up for us which was nice, we got to it and found a thermometer was reading at 50 degrees. It says to add cold water if required to cool down and read the thermometer. Absolutely fine, until I found I had to walk around the cabin to the other side of the fence to operate the hose pipe meaning shouting to my girlfriend to hold the hose and tell me when. Very awkward. The amount of wood supplied was not enough. For three days at 5 pounds a bag. That’s fine had it been said that enough will NOT be supplied for the three nights we were there. The track down to the lodge isnt the greatest. If you care about your car it’s probably not the road for you as it resembles abit of off roading. The lodge itself was lovely. The fire made it very homely. The shower could have been more consistent with heat but that’s the joys of a lodge I guess. There was used coffee in the cupboard which I wasn’t too Impressed with. All in all it’s safe to say I probably will not be going back there to this particular lodge.

We had a lovely weekend at Rowan Lodge. Thank you.
We had a great stay, hot tub was lovely and warm. We had no hot water to begin with but the gentleman came over straight away and kept us updated. We arrived in the dark so the lane down to the lodge was very narrow and steep. Take your time when going down to lodges! Was beautiful though. Thank you for our lovely stay.

The property was excellent it catered for all our needs. The surroundings were amazing and the evenings spent in the hot tub watching the nights draw in and looking up at the stars were memorable. Definitely worth every penny and a experience not too be missed.

Beautiful location with breathtaking views.
This was one of the most beautiful settings we’ve stayed in. So peaceful. It was a short drive to many wonderful villages and towns. The directions and check in were simple and hassle free. The property had everything you would need. Very well supplied. We would highly recommend a stay here. We would definitely return and possibly try one of their other cabins for a different view. Penny was very welcoming and responded promptly to any emails. A gem in the woods with a view.

Mid week getaway
We arrived at Rowan Tree Lodge at 2.51pm for a 3pm booking. We informed Penny the day before we were planning on arriving at 3 but received no response to confirm this was ok. I called when we arrived, to be met with a cold response saying ‘we might not be ready yet because you are early’. I offered to wait the 9 minutes until 3 but I was told this was not needed. The lodge itself is nowhere near as private as we were led to believe. It is directly beside the main building which I think is where the owners live. All day there were cars up & down the driveway, banging doors and conversations in the car park which is situatied directly next to where the hot tub is. There is a fence between the hot tub & the car park, but we never felt totally private. The gardens were being cut for a few hours Tuesday, which was noisy and the gardener was around us while we relaxed in the lodge. Communication with the owners was very poor. I sent 3 messages to Penny during my stay, with no response to any of them. There were no clear instructions on where to leave the keys when we checked out so we had to leave the lodge open with the key on the table. The hot tub was clean on day one, but because no chemicals are used, by day two the water was already murky. We were left no clear instructions on how to light & keep the hot tub warm, I asked Penny how this worked and had the reply ‘just light it again in the morning to get it hot’. We have no prior knowledge on how to keep a Swedish Bath hot & had to wing it throughout the week, luckily we managed without too much difficulty. I recommend purchasing a second bag of logs as one wasn’t enough to keep the hot tub going all week. We paid extra for the hot tub anyway, maintenance or clear guidelines on the use of the tub, as well as a constant supply of logs should have been included in this price without paying £5 extra for more logs. The safety of the hot tub is awful. The steps are very slippery with no rubber mat on top for grip. The steps are also not secured to the floor which makes them unstable, as I discovered when they wobbled as I got in Tuesday afternoon & I came crashing to the wooden floor resulting in a number of sizeable bruises on my legs & back. The lodge felt tired & in need of a good clean. The sitting area in the bedroom had a floor gripper poking through the carpet which I stood on every time I sat to do my makeup. Overall, we enjoyed having a holiday together, but we wont be back.
