Very comfortable, loved the sofas lol. Great sized kitchen. Rooms and beds comfy. Not to far from Market place of Ludlow and easy walks to all pubs and Ludlow brewing company and train station. Definitely will be back. Thank you.

It is very well located for a quick walk into the heart of Ludlow town centre. It is also well placed to get out into the countryside and enjoy the views by the river and overlooking the castle. The cottage itself was very comfortable and roomy enough for the 5 of us. It was well equipped. The outdoor space was very much appreciated (the fact that it had some in the sun and some in the shade was perfect!) The living spaces were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Would be handy to have a mirror in the smallest rooms (we have found it quite often that the smallest room tends to lack some of these additional pieces). We would definitely stay again as there is a lot more to see in the area. We would like to thank the owner for his hospitality.
