The details

Perched right on the banks of the River Severn, The Boat House Lodge is the kind of place that instantly slows the pace of life. Floor to ceiling windows frame calming views of the river and rolling countryside beyond, while kingfishers dart across the water and the occasional otter might even make an appearance. Tucked away in the ancient village of Wroxeter, just outside Shrewsbury, this peaceful retreat for two offers the perfect escape when you need to truly switch off.

Inside, the lodge has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its beautiful surroundings. The open plan living space is bright and airy, with those large windows drawing the outside in and flooding the room with natural light. After a day exploring the Shropshire countryside, curl up on the comfy sofa with a good book, enjoy a film on the Smart TV or simply sit back and watch the river flow past. Underfloor heating keeps things wonderfully cosy during cooler months, while air conditioning and remote controlled blinds help keep the lodge refreshingly cool in summer.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare relaxed meals during your stay, whether you're rustling up breakfast before a day out or enjoying a leisurely dinner together. On arrival you'll also be greeted with a generous welcome hamper filled with seasonal treats, adding an extra touch of indulgence to the start of your getaway.

When night falls, retreat to the sumptuous super-king size bed dressed in silky soft sheets that promise a wonderfully restful sleep. Wake refreshed, brew a morning coffee and step outside into the enclosed garden where you can sit quietly and watch the river drift by.

The lodge is also dog-friendly, meaning your four legged companion can join you for riverside strolls and countryside adventures. With plenty of scenic walks nearby, it’s a wonderful place for both humans and dogs to stretch their legs.

When you feel like venturing out, you’ll find plenty to explore nearby. Wroxeter Roman City is just a short walk away, while the elegant National Trust estate at Attingham Park offers beautiful parkland and woodland trails. Head into historic Shrewsbury for independent shops and medieval streets, or explore the industrial heritage of Ironbridge. From vineyard tours to countryside hikes, Shropshire offers endless opportunities for memorable days out before returning to your peaceful riverside hideaway.
