Wigmore Lakes Lodges - A family-friendly retreat with onsite smoked food, stocked fishing pools, and proximity to Mid Wales
Wigmore Lakes Lodges offers a family-friendly setting with onsite American-style comfort food, smoked for up to 14 hours. The property features two large stocked fishing pools, a centerpiece of the grounds for over 50 years. A shop on-site sells local jams, chutneys, beers, and essentials like rugs and sun cream. Nearby attractions include Coalport China Museum, housing national porcelain collections, and the River Severn for scenic raft trips. The Shropshire/Wales border location provides easy access to Mid Wales and coastal beaches. Guests can also explore the Ironbridge Gorge Museums or visit Apley Shopping Village for farm-fresh goods. Activities such as quad biking, archery, and clay pigeon shooting are available in the surrounding area. The lodge is 75 km from Chester Hawarden Airport.
Pros
Onsite smoked low-and-slow American comfort food for extended cooking periods.
Two large, well-stocked fishing pools at the heart of the property.
Proximity to Mid Wales and coastal beaches for added excursion opportunities.
A shop providing local jams, beers, and outdoor essentials.
Variety of nearby activities, including quad biking and archery.
Cons
The property is 75 km from Chester Hawarden Airport, requiring longer travel.
Limited public transportation options may necessitate a car for exploration.
“These lodges stand out for their well-maintained fishing lakes, reportedly home to impressive carp; plus, the individual terraces feature private hot tubs, adding a definite relaxation element. A comfortable bed rounds out the essentials for a satisfying weekend away. I would certainly consider this for a relaxed, activity-filled break.”
