Had all the facilities we needed for our stay. Very comfortable beds and good sunset views from the lounge. The owner was easily contactable when we had any queries and helpful before, during and after our stay. Would be happy to stay there again.

We had two cars and had to park one of them off site. The electric gates open across where you can park one car and they take an age to close before you can park up. House would benefit from some tlc - new linen, lounge curtains. The chair in the lounge window needs throwing away. About a 15 minute walk into Ludlow.

It was very clean and comfortable, a nice size kitchen and the beds were comfortable. The house in general is in need of a little TLC as there are a few things that need fixing and the garden needs to be maintained. But we had everything we needed for our stay. The parking was a bit tricky and I have a smallish car. But it wasn't too bad. We really enjoyed our stay though and would recommend this house.
