• "I loved staying at Old Town Cottage, from the name to the location, tucked away as it is behind a gate and a few steps down a little courtyard."

  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.

• "Old Town Cottage was ideal for our stay in Ludlow."

  It had everything we needed and was warm and cosy. It's perfectly located for exploring Ludlow and is very quiet. We were very kindly left some flap jacks which were delicious, and some daffodils which opened up during our stay. The car parking space was really handy. All in all, a small but perfectly formed cottage.

• "Location was perfect but cottage was not up to our expectations."

  The main issue and complaint was regarding the heating system for the water supply. Most mornings the water would not heat up enough for a hot/warm shower and in fact was cold. The owners did come twice but the issue was still there when we left, which was two days earlier than our lease. No offer of reducing our rental was offered but they were very apologetic regarding the heating system. As the location was great and being from Canada the town of Ludlow was very appealing with a very interesting history.

• "The cottage is lovely, perfect situation as close to everything ."

  Really clean . We took a fan with us , and so glad we did as was a very hot few days. Very comfortable bed , the only thing we found the sofas were too soft and too low , maybe because we're both in late 60s we struggled a bit with that, but that is the only thing that I would have changed. We had a lovely few days .

• "A cosy little cottage tucked away from the main road but in a perfect location to the town."

  Clean, comfortable and adequately equipped. Complimentary tea, coffe, sugar and milk provided with some delicious homemade biscuits was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Although parking is only within certain times on the road a free parking space is offered at the Mascall Centre which is a very short walk away. Eventhough there is a porch light outside the approach to the cottage is quite dark and will need.to use a torch. A little TLC is needed to spruce up the outside but on the whole I would recommend this cottage for a short stay.

• "A lovely, very centrally located cottage with a nice area for sitting out."

  Inside was delightful, nicely furnished and well equipped. A very comfy bed. The kitchen was very small however. It needs some storage space for guests' food. We ended up putting stuff on the work surfaces which left very little space for preparing food. Perhaps swap the wall plate rack (which my wife couldn't reach anyway!) for a small wall cupboard. Also a chair in the bedroom would have been useful for putting clothes on and drying hair etc. Perhaps a full length mirror somewhere?

• "Old Town Cottage was clean, comfortable and provided all we needed for our few days stay in Ludlow."

  The property is only minutes walk into town but peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle. The complimentary milk, tea, coffee and biscuits were much appreciated, as was the added bonus of a designated free parking space which should be updated on the Sykes site for future visitors. Parking is at a premium in Ludlow and can make all the difference when deciding on a booking.

• "We stayed 2 nights - 21st & 22nd June 2021."

  This was our first time away from home since Feb 2020 due to Covid restrictions. We were apprehensive about staying away from home but having both been fully vaccinated we decided to take a short break, not too far from home. The property was spotless, comfortable and had hand sanitiser as well as antibac liquid soap in both the bathroom and kitchen. Although located in the middle of the town, it was really quiet with only the chirping of birds waking us in the morning! Although small, it was well equipped, would be easy to eat in should you wish. Lovely to have milk, coffee and tea as well as basic cleaning equipment and fresh flowers provided. Having a free parking space a short walk away, was a real bonus. We really enjoyed exploring Ludlow, eating out for the first time in over 16mths. All the shops, restaurants and attractions were all very Covid compliant.

  The host arranged free parking for the duration of our stay which made coming and going so much easier. The cottage itself had everything we needed, was very comfortable and set back from the road so noise wasn't an issue. The little touches such as fresh flowers in the cottage and a pint of milk to welcome us were really appreciated. Ludlow is a very pretty town with plenty to do and see and was the base for many lovely walks through the Shropshire and Herefordshire countryside while we were there.

• "The location is very hard to find, the directions given suggest one approaches from the town centre, however that access was closed and one approached from the south."

  The cottage would be better located if the information stated that the gates are located between 30 and 34 Old Street Ludlow. The car park is ok but for some elderly people it would be to far away to walk back to the cottage. However our stay was enjoyable and the cottage comfortable.

• "Old Town Cottage is tucked away in the heart of this beautiful town."

  An easy stroll to the square and all the restaurants and shops, or down to the River Teme. We were provided with a parking space a short walk away which was handy. The cottage is in a quiet and peaceful spot ideal for our long weekend. The property is tiny but has everything a couple would need and was comfortable and very clean. Jane was easy to deal with and very efficient.

• "The cottage is as described - cute and comfortable, spotlessly clean."

  It's location is perfect situated on this small pedestrian access pathway, so it's very quiet and peaceful even though it's just a few minutes walk from the town centre. Our only observation would be that, in our opinion, the double bed is in need of a new mattress! otherwise a lovely mini break that did us both good. Well equipped and has everything you could need, good water pressure for the shower and enough room for two for a break in lovely Ludlow.

• "The accommodation was lovely."

  It took half an hour of circumnavigation of Ludlow to find, but that was because we didn’t know Ludlow very well and signage was a bit vague. The owner provided details of a very useful parking place and daily exercise was beneficial going to and from this gem as parking in Ludlow is at a premium. As you would expect in February, the weather was VERY weatherish, storm Dennis accompanied us on our journey to Ludlow, and storm Jorge followed us home, but with a combination of waterproof skin and determination many lovely locations were visited, splashing to and from them. We admired many cavernous potholes in Shropshire’s road network, and this made our journeys adventurous to say the least. So to sum up, accommodation 10/10..overall holiday 9/10.

• "The cottage was comfortable and very convenient for access to the town centre."

  We travelled by train and it was an easy walk from the station. The flowers in the living room and bedroom were very attractive but we'd have really welcomed a pint of milk in the fridge to make a cup of tea on arrival. I travelled light and didn't bring a hairdryer so was disappointed not to find one provided as in other Sykes properties we've stayed in. The kitchen although compact had all we needed - however there was minimal information on rubbish disposal as regards recycling.We agree with another visitor that a reading light in the living room would be welcome. Overall we recommend this cottage for a short break in Ludlow.

  Weather wasn't great which made our choice of a cottage over a hotel a good one. First time time we have used a cottage like this and took "essentials" with us but it proved not necessary as everything was already there.Was just right for two people,great location and getting the key couldn't have been easier.Parking as in most small market towns was a bit of a problem but can be worked round with several car parks to hand.
