Shellow Lane Lodges

You can tell these lodges have been fitted with high quality fixtures and fittings. Lodge was extremely spacious, and comfortable - both sofa and bed. Temperature was perfect in the lodge with pre set heating. Huge en suite and seperate family bathroom. Ash lodge had great secure fencing around the lodge good enough to see all around but provided privacy when sitting out or if using hot tub.Friendly helpful housekeeper. Although still cleaning when we arrived we were able to use toilet, unpack and put food in fridge then take our dog for quick walk, which would have been our usual routine. On return the housekeeper was helpful, describing good local eateries, takeaways and walks. Apologies for not completing on time. boiler so need to be aware hot water not instant, but once run was hot enough and plenty of it. Good value for money. Would definitely return.

I was a little bit nervous on the run up to our stay at Shellow Lane Lodges because I'd seen a couple of negative reviews, and we had a large group staying across 2 lodges for a special occasion. However I have to say that I had no real need to be worried. Although some of the things in the negative reviews weren't untrue, they weren't necessarily a problem. The site was nice and well maintained, plenty of room for parking, an honesty shop on site. The check-in process was easy - we were phoned the morning of check in and were provided with codes for the lock boxes in time. The lodges were clean and spacious. The kitchens were well stocked with everything we needed to cook for a large group, including plenty of crockery, cutlery etc. There's plenty of living space, and we were able to fit 9 of us round the dining table for a sit down meal. The outside space in one of the lodges we stayed in wasn't great, but the other was really nice - a little balcony, clean furniture. The rooms are also a decent size. You could easily fit a travel cot in either of the double bedrooms. We used the hot tub in one of the properties. I wasn't sure how that all worked ahead of time, but we were able to speak to the owner on the morning of our stay and organised the use of the hot tub and paid for it by bank transfer after check in.

We hired three lodges for the extended family. The lodges were spacious, well equipped and quite clean. The bedding was fresh and crisp. Beds were really comfortable. There's plenty of outdoor seating space. The hot tub was enjoyed by everyone especially the children.

The lodge was clean and tidy with plenty of room for our 5 family members. It was an excellent location for both a family wedding in Congleton and visiting family in Crewe. There was enough parking space for 2 cars next to the lodge.

Spacious and well equipped for self catering break, clean and tidy.
