    The house was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and spacious .. the bathroom was a favourite with us all!! We really appreciated all the extras to make us welcome .. the fresh flowers were beautiful. And many thanks for all the recommendations for things to see and do in Ludlow. We would all highly recommend the Maltster’s House and hope to stay there again one day. Many thanks.

    The pictures don’t really do it justice. The owner was extremely helpful and configured the house just how we wanted it. Communication was great. The facilities were great including a Nespresso coffee machine and lots of plates, glasses and cooking utensils. Everything you could need. Courtyard was lovely and a little sun trap.

  • Harold

    We used the property for a similar Christmas gathering several years back and have found it ideal on both occasions. On both visits, the house was full of laughter and enjoyed by all. The accommodation is comfortable and convenient and provides an ideal base to explore this beautiful part of the country
