"Penny Cottage was an absolute pleasure to stay in - comfortable - well stocked with kitchen equipment - warm during cooler weather."
Then personal touches with communication from owners asking if all satisfactory. 5 stars!

"We had a lovely stay at Penny Cottage."
The cottage was spotless and immaculate on our arrival and the owners provided welcoming offerings of milk and cake. They also texted to inform us when the cottage was ready for our arrival and to check we had everything we needed. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need but be aware there is no freezer which wasn’t a problem for a four day stay. The rooms are all of a good size and were very warm and comfortable. It is also conveniently placed being a 10 minute walk into the town centre - uphill but nothing too drastic. The only minor issue was with the shower where the water temperature was a bit variable and occasionally ran cold. This may have had something to do with water pressure as there had recently been major roadworks outside installing new water mains We would highly recommend Penny Cottage and would certainly stay there again if we make a return visit to Ludlow.

"A very homely and comfortable property, which lacks for nothing."
The owner has put a lot of thought into it and everything is on hand to offer an extremely pleasant stay. Thanks for the 'little extras', very thoughtful. Be prepared for a 10-15 minute uphill walk to Ludlow centre.

"Penny Cottage suited us very well."
It is beautifully clean, comfortable and well-equipped. It is ideally situated for walking around Ludlow, with all of its historical and architectural interest, and plentiful shops.
-
"Well equipped cottage, very clean and nicely furnished."
Good location too - 10/15 minute walk into town. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Penny.

"The cottages was very comfortable and had everything you need."
It was lovely being able to sit outside in the garden on an evening. There is a steep climb into Ludlow from the cottage which some may find difficult, we just took our time and it was fine.
-
"Overall very clean and comfortable."
Enjoyed our stay and would recommend cottage. One suggestion is for a chest of drawers in the bedroom.
-
"The cottage is perfect."
Clean and comfortable with large garden and off road parking. Sadly when I was there the weather was too cold to take advantage of the garden. A bit of a walk into town uphill all the way but no problem if you are reasonable fit and able. I would happily book again and almost certainly will.
-
"Penny Cottage was a perfect place to stay, with parking and within a short walk of the town."
The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The whole cottage was very clean and cosy. I would highly recommend Penny Cottage. Trisha and Michael

"Penny Cottage is a credit to the owners."
I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage( I have run a cleaning business for years .) and the many thoughtful touches: fresh flowers, fruit, milk , chocolate, tissues, cosmetics and toiletries, torches, umbrellas and even perfume were very much appreciated. The cottage is very near the centre of Ludlow so the car can be left on the drive whilst you explore on foot. The cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished with decent furnishings and appliances and has an ample supply of cutlrey and crockery. I was a little surprised to find no wardrobes or chest of drawers in the bedrooms just a little frame with a few hangers but to be fair I don’t fully unpack anyway. One slight problem was that the property is advertised as having a fridge/ freezer and fridge. It has only a fridge . There is room for a small freezer which for people like ourselves who like to cook and intend coming back to stay in the property would be the cherry on the cake! Well done! We had a lovely week at Penny Cottage and are very confident that anyone who books the cottage will not be disappointed with their choice .Thank you for all your hard work. Much appreciated.

"What a lovely cottage, immaculately clean and beautifully furnished throughout."
A very well equipped kitchen/diner makes cooking and eating in a pleasure. The location is lovely and makes it a great base for visiting both the town itself and the surrounding area and the private parking is a real bonus. I hope to return soon. (Not for publication: Not a criticism but the details for the cottage say fridge/freezer but having bought some ice cream we couldn’t find a freezer! Perhaps this should be amended?)
-
"Penny Cottages is the cleanest, most well maintained and loved holiday cottage we have ever stayed in."
The attention to detail at the property is second to none and the standard and quality provided is first class. No detail is overlooked, and the stylish owners clearly treat this property with the utmost love and care with no expenses spared. We would not hesitate to book it again!
-
"Penny cottage was really cosy and comfortable and extremely well-equipped."
The availability of dedicated parking was a definitely bonus in Ludlow. It is only a short walk up into the centre of the town, admittedly up a hill but that is a the nature of Ludlow. This was our third visit and we would definitely look for Penny cottage when we come again. Highly recommended.
-
"A lovely cottage, well appointed, immaculately clean, very handy for Ludlow town."
We particularly enjoyed the shortbread and fruit, thank you! My only drawback is the location of the bathroom. With it being downstairs in the extension, it's a bit of trek to the loo during the night! Otherwise a lovely place.
-
"Lovely cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay."
Great welcome pack on arrival. Very close to all the shops and the castle. We were car free for the week and it was easy to get to Shrewsbury for the day by train. Highly recommend Aragons and the Queens for excellent food. Sunday lunch at the Queens was delicious. Would stay here again if returning to Ludlow. Thanks Penelope
-
"An amazing house, wonderfully furnished."
The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Lovely host's that go above and beyond. Location of the house is brilliant for Ludlow centre. Will be back.
-
"Had a wonderful 3 day stay,at Penny Cottage a real home from home, Very well equipped and spotlessly clean,was just a 5 minute walk into the centre of Ludlow,parking for two cars was a great help."
Hope to return very soon.

"We shall try to visit this lovely cottage again, unfortunately this time I had fallen ill, but the owner was very kind and friendly and helpful and her spacious, cosy cottage a really comforting place to be!"
We were feeling very welcomed: fresh flowers, most delicious biscuits, fresh fruit... so nice! Penny Cottage is located on a quiet road, everything within walking distance: Whitcliffe Common, the town centre, railway station, Tesco... - very convenient as we were travelling by train and ferry from Germany: no car needed! And Ludlow is such a lovely wonderful town, there seems so much more to explore. Looking forward to our next visit!

"Penny Cottage: Lovely position in Ludlow for the River and a short uphill walk to the Town and Castle which was good for the calf muscles."
Shower was good and there is a large bath if you prefer to wallow. Nothing missing that was needed to make my stay comfortable which is always a good sign. A nice welcome note on the table to greet me. Nice size TV and lovely lawn. Quiet house and Neighbours and quiet area at night. All pluses and no minuses. A rare occurrence well done Penny Cottage and Sykes. A Happy customer. PS Lots of nice little hidden places for coffee in Ludlow and lots in surrounding Towns.

"Plenty of extras left for us upon our arrival, thank you"
-
"Penny Cottage is absolutely beautiful!"
The location is perfect for exploring Ludlow. It is a very spacious property with comfortable furniture & beds and a powerful shower in the downstairs bathroom. Everything you might need is provided and the little welcome gifts, provisions and flowers were a nice touch. We met Penny on the day of arrival; such a lovely lady who wants guests to enjoy her nan’s house. It’s a home from home.
-
"Such a lovely cottage with everything we needed, so many little touches made this a very special place to stay."
Spotlessly clean, good quality and comfortable furniture, beautiful garden and just a few minutes walk into the centre of Ludlow. Would highly recommend to anyone.
-
"A beautifully presented, clean cottage in a super location."
The owners, Penelope and Malcolm, have thought of everything - even down to a spare toothbrush! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bathroom has a large bath and extremely powerful shower, and although downstairs wasn’t a problem to us. The beds were all comfortable and the two single bedrooms were ideal for our 2 children who prefer their own space. Ludlow is a very pretty town with many shops and places to eat. The castle is well worth a visit too via a delightful walk along the river. We would highly recommend Penny Cottage.

"Couldn't have asked for a better base to explore Shropshire and surrounding areas."
The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome with many extras provided. Again many thanks to Malcom and his generous wife for a great holiday.

Penny Cottage is spacious whilst being cosy and has a wonderful outdoor space and all the little touches you could need.

"Wonderful hosts and well equipped and comfortable cottage."
Great location a 5 minute walk to centre of Ludlow with great parking. Wonderful garden and patio.
-
"A lovely cottage close to a delightful town."
Spacious, clean and comfortable with a big garden and its own parking place a short walk from the centre of town. A nice place to stay and a good base to explore the surrounding area.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Penny Cottage and appreciated the extra touches that the owner had made to make our stay more homely and comfortable."
There was a great attention to detail with little extras that we weren’t expecting. We were three generations and the only slight negative to be aware of was the lack of an upstairs WC so nighttime trips to the bathroom were slightly less easy. Realise that it wouldn’t be possible to rectify however feel it’s worth highlighting for info. First trip to Ludlow was really lovely - beautiful town and area. Will be back!
