Excellent selection of local maps and walking leaflets. Restricted cooking space but Ludlow awash with great pubs and eateries.

Everything in its place. very clean. plenty of bath/hand towels, storage, pots pans - totally catered for. Plenty of wood/instructions for the wood burner. Ideal location for 4. Beds/pillows so comfortable. Minutes away from the town. Only issue is parking, as meters and had to shift the car a few times - you need to park a road away from cottage for free; the owner did explain where to park in his welcome email. GALDEFORD A carpark is good place to park long term - just a short walk away if you do not need the car during your stay - who would in Ludlow! Very enjoyable and owner most helpful. Yes would stay again.
