Shropshire glamping resorts to get £750,000 investment with five new holiday lodges

Salop Leisure is investing in five new holiday lodges on the hugely popular glamping village at the Love2Stay resort at Emstrey, Shrewsbury.

 “We are finding that people in the 25 to 35 age group are increasing the number of short breaks to five a year,” said Salop Leisure’s joint managing director Mark Bebb. 

“It’s all about convenience, flexibility and luxury.

“We are now attracting not just people who live across the UK but also visitors from around the world, particularly Holland. They are attracted by the outdoor facilities, including our natural cold water bio swimming pool and hot springs.

“We encourage young families to spend quality time together away from technology. They appreciate the benefits of spending time together rather than being in separate rooms at home.

“Countless reports have been written about the health benefits of getting children off technology and into the fresh air. We are happy to help families do exactly that, surrounded by luxury accommodation and facilities.

“We are also finding that families enjoy multi-generational holidays with us, with grandparents staying in their motorhome or caravan on our touring park, while their children and grandchildren stay in a lodge.

“We are a destination where guests can relax, enhance their wellness and enjoy a wide range of activities.”

The brainchild of Mr Bebb, Love2Stay is designed to instill a feeling of wellbeing and tranquility in guests. He has created an environment which is in harmony with nature where guests can, to use his words, “experience the grass between their toes”.

The resort now has five luxury lodges, including the original 11 safari lodges and 11 Woodland lodges.

Guests also have full access to bio swimming pool, splash pool and beach, cinema, wellbeing services and a wide range of outdoor activities for all the family.

Love2Stay resort, which celebrates its eighth birthday in May, comprises a glamping village, touring caravan park with 118 pitches and an adventure centre.

Set in 22 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the resort has panoramic views across to Wales from one side and over to the Shropshire Hills from the other.

“Love2Stay is designed to offer the very best luxury break experience with our holiday lodge accommodation matching a five-star hotel,” added Mr Bebb. 

“Whether it’s a romantic holiday or a family getaway, relaxing in a hot tub is the perfect way to end a busy day of exploring.”
