No two owners are the same and no two Stretton lodges need to be either. Choose from the standard specification and it is already a long way above anything else in the lodge market. Or work with the design team to adapt the layout, specify your own finishes, change the kitchen, choose your flooring, upgrade the glazing. The lodge should feel like yours because it is yours, designed around how you actually live.

The Stretton is available for 12 months of the year, every year. No seasonal shutdowns, no enforced closures, no months where the site goes dark. The planning consent at Caradoc Retreats allows year-round holiday use, which means you can be here in January when the frost sits on the hills just as much as in August when the heather is out. The only restriction is that it cannot be used as a permanent primary residence, as with all holiday lodge developments.

A 99-year lease is as close to ownership as lodge tenure gets. It means you are not buying into something you will need to hand back in ten years. It means the lodge can be passed on. It means you can sell it on the open market, at open market value, without being forced to sell back to the developer at a price they set. There is no resale commission payable to Caradoc Retreats. That is not how the rest of the lodge industry works. It is how this one does.

The plots at Caradoc Retreats are generous by any measure, and exceptional by lodge market standards. Each lodge sits within its own landscaped space, with room to breathe, room to garden if you want to, and enough distance between neighbours that you will not feel like you are on top of each other. Eight lodges across the whole site means there is space here that most developments simply do not offer.

The Stretton's lounge and main decking area face west. That is a deliberate design decision. It means the evening light comes straight in, the sunsets are yours, and the last hours of the day are spent exactly where you want to spend them. The decking is designed as a proper outdoor room, not an afterthought. In the right weather, and South Shropshire gets plenty of it, you will use it as much as any room inside.
