The cottage was spacious, lovely and well equipped with everything you needed and more with some nice touches. For example, some milk left in the fridge and fresh flowers. One bedroom had 2 single beds in and therefore could accommodate 5 guests. There is off road parking and could accommodate 2 cars. The host was lovely, visiting us a couple of times to check we were ok and to wish us well on our travels. We managed to visit many areas in and around Ludlow- Worcester cathedral, Shrewsbury, Blist Hill Victorian town and had some lovely meals out. I would definitely recommend the Athena Greek restaurant, The George too. The Tapas not so good! Ludlow centre is probably more than 5 minutes walk from the cottage I would say 10-15 minute walk with a steep hill, but once you get into the centre itâs lovely. Places to eat and drink close early so make sure you go out early. The locals were extremely friendly. The weather was sunny all week except for 1 day when it rained in the afternoon. Overall it was a great stay!
