The property was so well maintained and the setting was beautiful. And the cake on arrival was such a personal touch that we certainly didnt expect. We loved the hot tub and the games room was a great facility to have. Although we had to drive everywhere, everything was quite close. Ludlow was such a beautiful town with lots to keep us busy. We will definitely be back. Thank you

On our last day we didn't have time for breakfast due to such an early check out. For the price we felt that our holiday was a little short. Fri to Sunday really became just a Saturday with no time in between.

The house is close enough to visit lots of beautiful places but just far enough away from anything to enjoy peace ad quiet. The rooms are immaculate and beautifully furnished.
