• "We had a lovely holiday which came at a really sad time."

  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 it’s 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!

• "We loved our stay at Manor Cottage."

  It was very close to the town and Castle being around 10 mins walk. The cottage was well equipped, with everything you need, including a freezer and a dishwasher ( not listed in details) There was a useful paved area at the back which was secure for our dog to explore, and it would be good to sit out in sunnier weather . The cottage was cosy and warm to come back to after a day exploring all the dog friendly shops and Castle. Ludlow is a nice little town, with plenty of pubs and restaurants. We will definitely book again.

  good owner and clean premises plus handy location.

• "Fabulous cottage, well equipped with everything we needed for a family Christmas week away."

  Even included dishwasher tablets and washing liquid. The living room is small but cosy & warm with reclining sofas but the best part is the huge kitchen with a lovely big table where we could all eat together and play board games & cards (a selection were even provided). Large fridge with good size freezer too. Bedrooms were comfy and having a downstairs loo was very handy. Phil was an exceptional host, always on hand if we needed anything. Only a 10 minute walk into Ludlow which is a beautiful town. Parking available for 3 cars that close to town is very rare. The only downside we had was continous rain but no on can be blamed for that. We had such a lovely holiday and I really didn't want to leave. If we visit Ludlow again we will definitely try to book Manor Cottage.

• "We stayed in December and the cottage was cosy and warm."

  It is clean and well equipped and very well positioned for visiting Ludlow and the wider Shropshire and Herefordshire area. Pluses: comfy sofas, good lighting, warm bedding, good kitchen equipment, hairdryer provided. Parking was straightforward, not too tight. Suggestions: single bed mattress not brilliant. Towels are provided but a hand towel in the downstairs toilet would be good.

  Manor cottage was fresh, clean, comfy and very warm. It is located a short walk from the town centre on a fairly busy road. This may be a little noisy in Summer when windows are open but we barely noticed the traffic noise during our visit. Gallows Hill is 5 mins from the cottage and a brilliant space to exercise your dogs. We would definitely return

  The BBQ + charcoal was great. As were the local guidebooks and OS maps, much better than the pile of random leaflets you often get. The beds were very comfortable and the pans were the best we have ever seen in a rental accomodation. A couple of minor niggles...quite limited on the number of wine glasses. The parking took a bit of getting used to, as the visibility coming off the driveway is not great, but we coped!

  When relaxing, having the use of a small table to put your drink,snacks etc, would be helpful. The second thing was the poor WiFi signal strength. Often the connection while using went down. We did again mention this and he said he would sort it. This was our second visit. Apart from above, we would certainly return again.

  Everything you needed was provided here. We settled in very quickly. It was 'home to home'. Mr Lewis came and introduce himself shortly after we arrived, which we appreciated. This was the first time we had visited Lunlow. What a fantastic place. So much history, wonderful buildings and countryside. I would recommend a visit to the museum. Great walks, especially along the river. There are so many places of interest within a short drive of the town that we didn't have the time to visit, so we will be returning.

• "Another fantastic stay at Manor Cottage."

  This was our fourth visit to Ludlow and as usual we were not disappointed. Following a warm welcome from our genial albeit unobtrusive host Phil we set about exploring the Marches and hitherto unfamiliar parts of Mid Wales. We thoroughly recommend the Elan Vally, a mere fifty minutes drive through stunning scenery. For those, like us who have a horse mad eleven year old in tow the nearby North Farm Equestrian Centre provides some lovely hacks through Mortimer Forest. Excellent dog walks too. Similarly, Darky Dale Riding Stables near Befstone provides much enjoyment in surroundings that leave an indelible impression. Returning home to the ease and comfort of Manor Cottage always provides a bonus. A mere five minutes walk takes you to the Queens where a warm Shropshire welcome and a truly excellent menu awaits. Here's the secret - Ludlow provides amazingly good value for money. We often proclaim 'how much!' and not for reasons one might expect. Thanks Phil; thanks Shropshire; thanks Ludlow.

  The setting at Ludlow is ideal as close to all amenities, however the outside area is just a yard of flags not a pleasant outlook and furniture was a picnic table with seats attached . It could be improved with nicer outdoor furniture some pot plants etc . My dog didn’t like flags and struggled to toilet so bare this in mind if you have fussy dogs like ours . The owner is very pleasant also.

  Cottage is on a 'main' road but we were never disturbed. Lovely bright kitchen with everything could need. Comfy lounge with leather recliner settees and big TV. We had few problems getting Freeview to work but Phil the owner was on hand. Really convenient for Ludlow town just up hill 10 mins most and downhill way back. 3 bedrooms and bathroom plus downstairs toilet. Heating on when cold and as Famous Five say lashings of hot water. Great to relax after hard days touristing! Great base for Ironbridge, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton and beyond. So many scrumptious restaurants in Ludlow, great Thai and India, Pizza and really convenient Queens (pub) need book. I could go on praising this cottage and Ludlow but want to go back don't want be all booked up.
