Love2Stay review: We went luxury glamping in December, a perfect cosy escape

This beautiful place combines the charm of countryside retreats with modern comforts, this lodge has quickly become a favourite for families, couples, and groups seeking an upscale getaway - us included.

Imagine kicking back in a luxurious lodge with your private hot tub bubbling away, surrounded by stunning countryside views.

Love2Stay is all about helping you relax, whether it's through peaceful nature walks, yoga classes, or lounging by their natural swimming pools​

We stayed for two nights on a very stormy weekend in December - and it was heaven!

Watch the video for a full tour.

Roaring log burner, beautiful views, hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds and beautiful décor - this place has got everything you need.

As a busy family-of-five, we had plenty of room to relax, cook and play games. While the weather was wild outside, it made for the perfect cosy December stay. Everything just feels so clean , fresh and modern - it really is a luxury home from home.

Nestled within Love2Stay’s sprawling park, Wren’s Nest Lodge even has underfloor heating for year-round comfort. With space for up to six guests, its bedrooms include plush king-size beds and twin options, while a sofa bed accommodates extras.

Step outside and you’re greeted with a private hot tub, a firepit that doubles as a BBQ, and a hanging egg chair to soak up the stunning Shropshire views.

The lodge seamlessly blends relaxation and functionality, providing a sanctuary for guests to unwind after exploring nearby trails or engaging in onsite activities.

For us, this stay was luxury, beautiful, easy to manage with three children and not too far from home - it was idyllic (and we’ve booked to return in May).

Love2Stay’s facilities complement the lodge’s offerings with a natural swimming pool, a fitness centre, a sensory trail, and even a dog agility course. Whether you're seeking an adrenaline-fueled adventure or peaceful moments by the firepit, the park caters to diverse preferences.

We happened to coincide our visit with Salop Leisure’s Christmas market and the light trail on offer - which made our December weekend have that perfect festive feel.

The costs for Wren’s Lodge are from £250, sleeping six. There are smaller, alternative accommodation options on site.
