About this property
Rurally situated upon 3,583 acres of private grounds in Pattingham, Staffordshire, is Woodland Lodge, one of several converted properties, enveloped by the countryside. Enjoying a secluded setting, offering access to an abundance of woodland walks, an on-site adventure centre and a picturesque lake, whilst benefiting from an enclosed garden with hot tub, a well-equipped kitchen, and a stunning sunroom, the property welcomes six guests and two well-behaved dogs, ideal for families and friends. Fulfil your self-catering needs in the well-equipped country-style kitchen/dinner, dotted with state-of-the-art appliances, a breakfast bar, and a grand table to seat six, offering the ideal space to prepare meals and plan your impending itinerary. Once you've cleared up, retire to the homely sitting room, and alight the woodburning stove, or head to the sunroom for views out to the garden, flooded with natural light, perfect for warmer months. Encompassing Woodland Lodge, you'll find a pet-friendly garden, complete with a luscious lawn, patio, rattan furniture, and a hot tub, along with a convenient outhouse to store your clothing and refreshments. As the night unfolds, discover the indulgent bathroom, housing a roll-top bath, idyllic for a long soak ahead of reaching the three well-presented bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite, a further king-size with TV, and a double. Come morning, enjoy expansive views across the surrounding grounds before taking a stroll around the lake. Once you're ready to venture further into the village, stock up on the essentials at the supermarket, whilst the Pigot Arms is a firm local favourite for dining out. A short journey away you'll arrive at Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World, ideal for the entire family, whilst Enginuity and Coalport China Museum are both suitable for those with historical interests. Travelling towards Dudley, opt for a scenic walk alongside the canal, also offering the chance to board one of many boat tours, or head to Dudley Zoo and Castle, spanning across 40 acres of land, with the chance to tour the 11th century grounds or visit some of the resident wildlife. The bustling town of Wolverhampton is nearby with its popular racecourse, hosting a calendar of races days, or if you'd prefer a cultural activity, head to Shrewsbury Castle, where you can also join the Shropshire Way walking trail. Enjoy a tranquil break by booking Woodland Lodge.
Between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth sits the beautiful village of Pattingham. The community is well renowned for being an excellent starting point for walks. Walks in a circle lead back to the village's playing fields near The Pigot Arms or The Crown Bar and Kitchen, both of which serve a variety of food and beverages to suit every palate. You may also stop by the Lychgate Coffee Shop for tea and cake. You can stock up on necessities or enjoy a small delight in a cluster of stores. The Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford, the David Austin Rose Gardens, and the National Trust sites of Wightwick Manor and Gardens or Dudmaston Estate are just a few of the nearby attractions. The Ironbridge Gorge, which has several museums, is farther away. Other options include Bridgnorth on the River Severn, an evening at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, or a round of golf at the close-by Chesterton Valley Golf Course.

Hot tub was perfect. Still warm in the morning... nothing more relaxing than sitting in it watching the sun come up! Thank you for providing more wood! The best holiday we've ever had and we will definitely be booking again soon....
