The accomodation was clean, very well equipped and conveniently situated for exploring the town on foot. Also, (as we arrived one week before Christmas), it was especially thoughtful to be greeted by a Christmas tree and lights; bottles of wine; and a selection of colourful and tasty, iced cakes!

Parking in front of the cottage was very straightforward, a most generous welcome pack was provided and we felt at home the minute we walked through the door into a warm cottage. The location is ideal. Cariad is in the centre of Ludlow in easy reach of all that this lovely town has to offer. We had a great holiday in one of the best cottages we've ever stayed in. Weâre already planning a return visit in 2026.
