Guests say
Guests have consistently praised Paul Pry cottage for its comfort, convenient location, and the welcoming nature of the host, Tim. The property's historical charm adds to the experience, and despite some minor noise issues and garden maintenance comments, the overall sentiment is positive with guests looking forward to returning.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score for this category.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to Ludlow town centre and the availability of parking. The proximity to local amenities and attractions is a recurring positive note.
The cottage is described as comfortable and well-furnished, with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. However, some noise transmission and the property's temperature during high heat are noted.
Facilities are generally good, with well-functioning showers and a reasonable kitchen. However, comments about the garden being overgrown and the lack of cooking by one guest suggest room for improvement.
While guests mention a warm welcome and helpfulness from the host, there are no references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

From its walls to its windows, Paul Pry tells a story that spans centuries. Here, Tudor timber beams meet Victorian fireplaces, inviting you to settle in and make yourself at home. Nestled in the heart of historic Ludlow, this charming property brings Shropshire’s essence into every detail, while being a stone’s throw from Ludlow’s best sights. Located between the iconic Broadgate and the medieval Ludford Bridge, it’s only a short walk to the town centre and Whitcliffe Common, where a scenic river walk awaits.
As you step into the cosy sitting room, a bay window frames Ludlow’s charm outside, while a Victorian fireplace and dimmable lighting create a warm setting indoors. Through the dining room, its walls lined with original stone and quarry tiles, you reach the fully equipped kitchen, thoughtfully designed with oak cabinets and ample space to cook up a family meal. Just beyond lies a private garden with two paved seating areas, designed to catch the sun all day, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or a quiet afternoon read.
Upstairs, the main bedroom offers an en-suite shower and views from the bay window, glimpsing Ludlow’s ancient bridges and the River Teme below. Up another staircase, two more bedrooms wait, compromising a double room with sweeping views over Whitcliffe Common and a single room gazing out toward the rolling Clee Hills in the distance.
Beyond the doorstep, Ludlow is ready to welcome you. The nearby Ludlow Castle is a medieval gem, and St Laurence’s Church, with its Gothic grandeur, is a must-see in the heart of town. If you’re eager to venture further, the treasures of Shropshire are all within reach. Ironbridge Gorge beckons with its historic museums and bridges, where the River Severn winds through the cradle of the Industrial Revolution. For a different kind of journey, hop aboard the Severn Valley Railway to explore Shropshire’s countryside by steam train, passing through scenic valleys and historic towns.
Just a short drive from Ludlow, Witley Court and its magical gardens await, with fountains that spring to life in a display of restored grandeur, and for castle enthusiasts, both Stokesay and Powis Castles promise a step back in time, each with its unique architecture and history, set amidst beautiful landscapes.
Nature lovers can lose themselves in the vast Shropshire Hills, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here, trails invite hikers, cyclists, and those seeking peace among the hills to enjoy panoramic views that stretch far and wide.
With off-road parking, thoughtful touches like a welcome pack, and a location that offers both tranquillity and adventure, Paul Pry is an ideal base for discovering Ludlow and the best of Shropshire. After a day of exploring, return to this historic retreat to relax in the garden or stroll Ludlow’s enchanting streets, alive with markets, warm pubs, and countryside charm.

We had a great week in Ludlow staying at Paul Pry. The cottage was comfortable with a great history attached to it. Ludlow is a superb place to stay, plenty of places to eat and events at the Castle and in the market square too. Worth checking these out to coincide with your holiday dates. The cottage host, Tim, was very helpful and gave us a good run down of the cottage history and places to visit. Parking is convenient as its on Tim's drive, around the corner - so no problems with parking meters. We are planning a return in due course.
