The Experience
Wind through mature parkland to a striking cedar of Lebanon on the front lawn and a stately 1740s house with sustainability and conservation at the heart of everything they do. Step inside and it feels like stepping back in time with echoes of glamorous house parties.
Two spacious sitting rooms invite you to explore shelves of books and stacks of board games – a TV can be arranged. Everywhere your eyes are drawn to ornate carvings, gilt-framed family portraits, silver and ceramic objets and traditional custom-made furniture. A grand central staircase leads to three elegant bedrooms with windows framing glorious views of the picturesque landscape. You can walk through woodland and pasture then onto the 30-mile Mortimer Trail.
Arabella sets you up with homemade everything: bread, compotes, granola, apple juice, and eggs from happy hens. Take a cold dip in the original bath house fed by a natural spring, stroll into Georgian Ludlow or spend the day visiting historic Shrewsbury.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Salwey Lodge - a historic family home full of generations of history and charm. Arabella went above and beyond to help plan our stay, providing an exceptional welcome, with tea and cake in front of the roaring fire, which was much appreciated after the long journey and damp walks, and cooking two delicious dinners using home-grown produce where possible. Evening drinks were served by Hugo also in front of the fire. Breakfast was a treat too with eggs from their hens and honey from their bees. The Georgian bath house was a fun bonus for the hardy!

This is a real treasure. The house is beautiful, full of character, spacious and grand. It is filled with interesting antiques and paintings. Every window frames a gorgeous view of fields woods, cows. Arabella is a wonderful host, greeting you with offers of tea and homemade cake. Breakfast is lovely, local produce and homemade granola and jam etc. It's really a delightful place to stay. As an old an historic house it has a few signs of wear and tear. The internet signal is not good and there is no TV. But with this much beauty around why would you care.

A truly special place to stay. The warmth of the welcome from Arabella and Hugo was lovely. Their hospitality was really appreciated. The Lodge is stunning and very peaceful and quiet, remarkable given we were within walking distance of Ludlow. Arabella cooked for us one evening - absolutely delicious food much of which was grown at the Lodge. Breakfast was equally good. We hope to visit again to enjoy the beautiful grounds and local walks all set out in helpful handouts.

Introducing
Arabella Salwey
Hugo and Arabella are deeply committed to protecting the natural environment and operating in the most environmentally responsible way possible. They are proud and delighted to have been awarded the prestigious GOLD award from Green Tourism. They heat The Lodge with a biomass boiler fuelled by locally sourced wood chip, solar panels provide some of their electricity, and their water is sourced from a private water supply.
We had a wonderful peaceful two night stay in the fantastic Salwey Lodge. The farm to fork Dinner was super delicious and Arabella accommodated my partners challenging dietary habits with ease, and breakfast was great too. The house is stacked with history and full of antiques and Arabella took care of all our needs. The fire was lit in the fine wood panelled sitting room each evening Hugo taught us how to play backgammon, and there were no intrusive televisions at all which was great! Fantastic views and an interesting walk down to the plunge pool. Will hopefully come back in the summer.
