It is a delightful, quiet, centrally located and comfortable place to stay. The owner communicates well, the cottage is beautifully clean and (for its size) well equipped. Can't ask for more, really! The restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions of central Ludlow are just a few minutes walk away, and even the railway station and a large Tesco (the most central of the supermarkets supplying the town) are only about a ten minute walk. For a stay in this town, don't hesitate.

Flowers, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar & milk to welcome us and a well equipped kitchen. We visited in January and the cottage was well heated. Nicely decorated, loved the fairy lights, and a very comfy bed. Just a short walk into town made it perfect.
