It was the perfect size for me and a joy to stay in for a few nights while I investigate Ludlow and decide whether to move to Shropshire from Manchester. It was clean, light and peaceful. A little cat even welcomed me on my arrival and departure. I especially appreciated the little details; the furniture, the doors, the jar of delicious flapjacks. I was so grateful to have discovered such a lovely cottage. It made all the difference to my break from the city. Thank you.
