3-star pet-friendly lodge in Kidderminster with on-site pub and play area
Accommodations
Shenstone Lodge offers 12 self-contained lodges set around a central garden. Each lodge provides a super-king or twin beds, a large walk-in shower, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Rooms include a smart TV with access to Netflix and YouTube, a fan, and a hairdryer; the tap water is not drinkable, so bottled water is supplied and replenished on request.
Dining
The adjacent Hare & Hounds pub serves British cuisine for lunch and dinner, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. The pub has a large beer garden and is dog-friendly, allowing pets on furniture except for chairs. A vending machine in the car park sells fresh milk, milkshakes, pastries, and desserts; no breakfast is served on site, but local cafes such as Willow & Boar and Hodgehill Garden Centre offer morning meals.
Family and Pet-Friendly
Children can use the outdoor play area with swings and a climbing frame, and a ping-pong table is available in the garden. Dogs stay at no extra cost and are welcomed in the lodges and the pub, with dog waste bins and bags provided on the grounds. The lodges are all on one level with no steps, and self check-in via a key box allows flexible arrival times.
Amenities and Services
Free parking is available on site, and the garden includes a terrace with outdoor dining areas. The property has a central grassy courtyard bordered by the lodges, with a bright green emergency exit light in each room (noted in reviews). Staff are reachable by phone for assistance, and the clean, well-maintained rooms include a fan for warm weather.
Location
Shenstone Lodge sits in quiet Worcestershire countryside, 18 km from Lickey Hills Country Park and 25 km from Cadbury World. Birmingham Airport is 45 km away, and the West Midlands Safari Park is a short drive. The property is accessed via a main road but remains peaceful at night, with minimal traffic noise after 11 pm.

“The location proves advantageous, particularly for events at the nearby Hogarth Stone Manor. I found the self-contained lodge rooms surprisingly spacious and well-equipped, making it a solid choice for both couples and families with its kid-friendly play area. I'd say the friendly bar staff also contribute to a welcoming, convenient stay.”
