The Church Stretton area is very special to our family and we’ve been searching for a while for somewhere to stay whilst visiting. Well now we won’t be going anywhere else!!
This place is amazing- perfect for me, my five year old and my mum. Huge games room, so much nature to explore, swimming pool all to yourself, a nature trail for the children and all accompanied by your favourite canine companion. We all had the best time.




Nichola Cariss, Owner replied 66 days ago
It is so lovely to hear that you had an amazing time here and that you feel you have found your place to stay when you visit the area! We're delighted that the games room, private use of the pool, and nature trail were so enjoyed, as well as your dog enjoying exploring the estate. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back again.

Eaton Manor Estate was a great place to stay for our short walking break in the Shropshire HIlls. Well located a short distance between Church Stretton for the Carding Mill Valley and the Wenlock Edge. Great Western Lodge was very clean with everything required for a comfortable stay provided in a straightforward, unfussy way. The lodge was lovely to come back to after a strenuous day's walk to relax in the little garden. Our hosts, Nicola and her husband, were friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. We would stay at Eaton Manor again when we return to the area.



Nichola Cariss, Owner replied 66 days ago
We're delighted that you had a great stay at Great Western Lodge and that it provided the ideal base from which to enjoy your walks in the Shropshire Hills. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

The property was comfortable - beds and seating arrangements were of good quality. A single fireside chair is tall enough for me to lean back on whereas both sofas are low backs. There is minimal food preparation area. The shower cubicle is very small and needs to be replaced with a larger one.



Nichola Cariss, Owner replied 66 days ago
We're pleased you found Great Western Lodge to be comfortable for your week's stay. Thank you for your thoughts about the shower cubicle and information about the EV charging points, we will take these on board as we are always reviewing our offering and information for guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

We stayed at Great Western Lodge for around 20 days as we were house hunting in the area.

The Lodge was excellent with everything you could ask for. Sitting outside in your own private garden was a real bonus.

We took advantage of the swimming pool which you can book for an hour on an exclusive basis.

We also ordered delicious meals from Oak Apple Catering who deliver to your door!

Make sure to order some free range eggs also delivered to your door and pop along to the Proper Good Dairy for the most delicious fresh milk. Eaton Manor include a bottle in their Welcome Pack too.

We went on some fantastic walks - which started literally from the front door of the lodge!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful . The estate is really beautiful and we were sorry to leave.




Nichola Cariss, Owner replied 157 days ago
We're delighted that Great Western Lodge worked so well for your extended stay while you were house hunting, and that the outside garden area was enjoyed, as well as the swimming pool, drop off meals by Oak Apple Catering and free range eggs from the estate. The milk from the nearby Proper Good Dairy farm is a treat and great that you enjoyed lots of walks from the door. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

We had an excellent break, accommodation was first rate. However we were disappointed about the cleanliness of the pool, there was green mould in the corners of the pool which certainly distracted from our enjoyment



Nichola Cariss, Owner replied 207 days ago
Delighted that you had an excellent break at Great Western Lodge and found the accommodation to be first rate. I'm sorry the surround of the swimming pool was not as clean as you would expect. My housekeeping team are meticulous as you will have seen from the many other reviews. I was left in charge of looking after the pool on this occasion, and am obviously not as good as my team who are giving me more training before leaving me in charge again! Great that you loved the countryside around Eaton Manor and our nearby market towns. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Great to hear that Great Western Lodge had everything you needed and you enjoyed the quiet location and practicing your archery in our indoor archery range. Also, good to read that you had good food at The Bucks Head pub and Sawaddee Thai Restaurant in Church Stretton. We hope to welcome you back soon.

This is my second visit to Easton Manor and they don't disappoint. We enjoyed our 3 night stay with our dog. The Lodge was warm and welcoming, heating was on when we got there. We had a lovely welcome pack which we enjoyed. There was not enough time to enjoy the estate walks but we will definitely be going back for another visit.

Great Western Lodge is beautifully situated on the Eaton Manor Country Estate. The cottage is well equipped and there are wonderful walks from the door. There are plenty of places to explore, visit and to eat a car's drive away. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Spacious and comfortable accommodation - really enjoyed the peace & quiet of the location. We usually come here for a short stay, and use the archery range and followed often by the games room! We haven’t tried the other options yet (wellness studio, or used the food delivery option) but I’m sure we will on one of our next visits. We tend to stick with Church Stretton for any shopping needs, plus the Thai restaurant is our favourite eatery. Will be booking again for Springtime!



Nichola Cariss replied 303 days ago
It's great to hear that you find Great Western Lodge to be spacious and comfortable and that you enjoy your stays here to use the indoor archery range and have fun in the games barn. We would definitely recommend trying out the wellness treatments and food delivery on your next visit. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

My son and I had a wonderful time staying here, we were visiting family nearby but also visited some local sights. The lodge is very clean and comfortable with everything you need and more! It is in a quiet and beautiful location, the perfect place to get away from it all. We didn't use the swimming pool but we did visit the games room a couple of times, there was lots to do and we had a lot of fun. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Western lodge. Having not been to Shropshire before, every day was fabulous. Sarah and I really enjoyed the swimming pool and we all had fun in the Play Barn, especially the table tennis!
We will be back next year before our Ironbridge tickets run out. We spent all day at the Victorian town near Ironbridge! Sarah and I also did some wild swimming at a local NT reservoir.
All in all a fabulous time and sooo quiet!

Really enjoyed our 8 day stay at Eaton Manor. We stayed in the Great Western Lodge which similar to a two bed room apartment. It was completely furnished including a small combo washer/dryer for laundry. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had a French press for making great coffee. You have access to an enclosed heated swimming pool which we did enjoy. I strongly recommend visiting the 12th century church located on the propert. If you want peace and quiet, this is a perfect accommodation.

We’ve stayed twice at Great Western Lodge this year, both times beautifully peaceful and not long enough! Can’t fault it - comfortable, cosy, everything we needed was there and everyone we met so friendly. Lovely walks and countryside to explore. Really looking forward to visiting again. Thank you to everyone at Eaton Manor!

We stayed at Eaton Manor Estate after a recommendation, what a beautiful place! Our lodge was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed, the welcome pack is a lovely touch! It's a great countryside base to explore a beautiful area. We loved the games barn and spent lots of time in there. Thank you for the lovely stay and the digital guide was a great help too. I would stay again and recommend to others. Thank you

Eaton Manor is a perfect holiday for families with dog. It has everything we needed. A secure garden for our escape artist beagle,swimming everyday and a games barn for our toddler. The cottage was fantastic, with every tiny detail thought of. For example, everything was provided for a BBQ, on arrival there was a basket full of essentials for our dog, including a dog tag. We were also provided with local produce which were all delicious. The superking bed was amazing! Eaton Manor ticks all the boxes for us and we will be returning many times!

The lodge was lovely but it needed to be on the actual estate there was lots of flies in the lodge especially when you opened the door but it is a lovely place



Nichola Cariss replied more than 1 year ago
We’re pleased that you found Great Western Lodge to be lovely. It is located on Eaton Manor Country Estate, although it is a short walk from the main site where the games barn and playing field are located. As we have so much space here (500 acres) for everyone to explore, we do find it a challenge to explain the scale of Eaton Manor. We’re sorry that you had trouble with flies during your stay, they can be quite persistent in the countryside but we will always try our best to help guests if an issue occurs. We hope you enjoyed exploring the estate during the Jubilee weekend.

Waiting just over a year to take up my booking for my birthday celebrations which had been planned for 2020, I finally made it to Eaton Manor in 2021 with a much reduced number of guests to join me! And what a wonderful week we had. Set in the beautiful Shropshire countryside it was a delight. Despite the restrictions due to covid, the lodge was well equiped, comfortable and lived up to expectations. Having a peek at the games room we could see it was well equipped and available for anyone wanting to use it, including children. The public areas round the office etc was clean and well kept with beautiful plants and flowers. A problem with the hot water supply was dealt with very quickly and efficiently. I would like to suggest that the vegetation (that has exploded this year) round the brown signs directions be cut back to make them more obvious. We had a bit of difficulty with the cooker hob, we couldn't keep a pan of water (for vegetables) on continuous boil. Is it the type of pans and would some instructions have helped?



Nichola Cariss replied more than 1 year ago
Congratulations on making it to Eaton Manor in the end! So glad you enjoyed your stay. The vegetation round the signs has now been cut back, all of a sudden everything seemed to grow like mad. Sorry you had a problem with the induction hob, we have some instructions in the digital guide book for the cottage and have checked the pans are all suitable. Lovely to read you enjoyed your birthday celebration even if it wasn't what you originally planned. Look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Fantastic stay at Eaton Manor - we stayed in Great Western Lodge. What a fantastic little lodge in an incredible area - we were totally blown away by the Shropshire Hills and loved cycling, walking and exploring the area. Great Western Lodge was lovely and all the little extra touches were very appreciated (the fresh milk, local apple juice, amazing coffee, biscuits - so lovely, thank you!) It was great to have the option of the pool - we used this on one occasion. Very easy to book your private 1 hour slot and immaculately clean pool. We would also highly recommend treatments with Adrianna - she was fantastic, good value and very professional. We will definitely be returning to Eaton Manor soon, thank you!

Delighted to read how much you enjoyed your stay at Eaton Manor and exploring the area on your bikes, plus of course Adrianna's massages. Look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We booked a 4 night stay at lshort notice as my sister had already booked a week there already. The team at Eaton Manor we’re so helpful and the accommodation was lovely. The grounds are so pretty and the area is very quiet. The only thing we hadn’t realised was the distance between our cottage at Great Western Lodge And where my sister was staying at the Garden Cottage. It was a good 7 minute walk on the lanes to get there but was safe as the roads are quiet. Would love to go back again sometime



Nichola Cariss replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review much appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I do find it a challenge to explain the scale of the estate at Eaton Manor which means that some of the properties are a 7 minute walk apart which in many cases is an advantage as even when all the cottages are full Eaton Manor still feels a haven of peace. Look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion.

We had a lovely peaceful stay in our well-equipped lodge. I liked the fact that the key was left on the table and we were trusted to do the same at the end of the stay. There was a small but beautiful garden, which was dog-proof and private. I also liked the rules re noise, or rather the lack of it. The estate itself is beautiful and put me in mind of a Scottish country estate we stayed at nearly 30 years ago.
Unfortunately, the flies were out in full force and although I used the spray, they kept coming back. This marred the holiday as I had to rewash all pots before use as there was only open shelving in the kitchen. Perhaps a wall cupboard could be fixed up. A fan might help too.
The Games room was good and there was plenty of dog-walking space.
Loved the dog treats and the cake!
Would revisit.

We stayed in The Great Western Lodge for a few days whilst running a yoga retreat at Eaton Manor. We stayed in The lodge and it was perfect. The bedrooms were fitted out perfectly, comfortable and a high standard. The living area was a great space and the kitchenette extremely well fitted out. We will certainly come again!... and have no hesitation to recommend.

This was our second stay at Eaton Manor. Great Western Lodge was exactly as expected and as described. We loved our holiday. The provision of a dog tag provided extra peace of mind and we were able to let our slightly over-excitable dog run free in the grassy field next to the lodge. Other doggy perks were an enclosed secure garden, a blanket, bowl and biscuits - and a warm water dog wash. There are fantastic walks on the estate and beyond. We used the archery range most days too. There is a great games room; our snooker skills were somewhat lacking though. We didn’t use the swimming pool, although there were plenty of available times and it looked well kept. We would definitely go back but we would probably try to pay the extra to be in one of the cottages nearer the archery range.

Great to meet you, glad you all enjoyed your stay and that your dog enjoyed the space to be able to have a good run in the fields.See you all again soon.

Ideal base for the managers to retreat to in the evening away from the main group in the Manor House. Well presented and handy for the extra personal.

Everything about Eaton Manor Estate is to the highest standard, we had an excellent stay and have already made more bookings, our Dogs loved the Hot Dog wash what a clever idea.

Enjoyable stay in comfortable and very well equipped bungalow deep in the Shropshire countryside.
Games room a particular highlight and the swimming pool another appreciated facility.
No instructions for the oven and cramped shower cubicle are the only piccy minus points I can think of.

Thank you for your review, great to read you had chance to enjoy the games hall and the swimming pool. We'll see about putting some instructions in the cottage for the cooker with the induction hob.
