"Lovely and clean, very comfortable, equipped with everything we could possibly want with a fully enclosed front and back garden for the dog."
We had a brilliant week in Roseland, the owners were very friendly and helpful. Ludlow is a fascinating place and the surrounding countryside is gorgeous. All in all we would highly recommend. Thank you too for the welcome pack, much appreciated.

"Love the location of the property and the overall feeling."
There is some updating required which is pointed out by the lovely owners, in the vast activities book they provided. Welcome pack was a delightful surprise. Garden was huge and our 2 dogs loved it, they could run all around the property safely. This is a beautiful property as it is and would stay again.

"The small shower room desperately needs a fan, the room steams up to the point you cannot see and could easily fall over."
The upstairs toilet cannot be used overnight as the noise it makes would wake the whole house. The fridge is far too small and you have to sit on the floor to use it properly. We left three nights early as we could not take the cluttered rooms any longer.

"Good comfortable cottage well kept and beautiful garden"
Delighted that you found Roseland comfortable and that you appreciated the garden. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Great location and very comfortable accommodation which was well equipped."
The garden was beautiful and a restful place to sit. Only problem was that the wifi was really poor, we were a family of 2 and both of us had a laptop. On multiple occasions we struggled to access basic emails and the connection dropped out regularly. This lovely house sleeps 5 people and in most families more than 2 devices would be being used. The wifi just wasn't good enough.

"A lovely holiday home, very clean and comfortable."
Beautiful garden which was relaxing to sit in. As commented by several previous reviewers the fridge is far too small for the property which is a shame because otherwise it would be a 5 star review.

"Was a beautiful property, the owners were friendly and helpful and greeted us on our arrival."
Was a nice gesture leaving us scones, milk and wine. The property was situated in a beautiful location and Ludlow itself has lots to offer and very dog friendly. Will definitely return.
Thank you so much for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed Ludlow and your stay at Roseland. We think the perfect compliment is that you plan to return and we welcome you. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"A well loved property kept in excellent condition by the owners, the cottage style garden was a delight to sit in and enjoy the afternoon sun."
Everything needed for a comfortable stay.
So glad that you had a comfortable stay at Roseland. Knowing that you enjoyed sitting in the garden pleases us, as the garden at Roseland, although keeps us busy, it is our happy place. Judy&Stuart Property Owner

"Lovely house in excellent area for visiting local attractions."
Garden superb for dogs. Great to have a dishwasher and washing machine. Fire stick and smart speaker also nice additions. Only complaint was the double mattress which needs an upgrade. Very noisy when getting into bed / turning over and not comfortable so difficult to sleep.
Thank you for drawing attention to the noisy bed. It wasn’t the mattress on the king sized bed that was the problem as that is quite new, but the frame on the base had broken which we weren’t aware of. This was replaced immediately, so is now no longer noisy. We apologise wholeheartedly for this. It is important to us that problems are reported, immediately so that we can deal with them. We only wish you had told us as soon as you were aware of the problem and we could have dealt with it during your stay and you could have been more comfortable. Broken bed aside, you say you thought that Roseland was lovely, the location good, and your furry friend enjoyed the garden and we are pleased you were satisfied with facilities Roseland has to offer, so thank you for highlighting the positives. Judy & Stuart. Property Owner

"We had a lovely time in a super cottage that had everything you could want for your comfort and convenience."
The garden was outstanding and lovely to view from the cosy conservatory. When we had a query our friendly hosts were quick to respond. Many thanks for a great week.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your time at Roseland. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Lovely dorma bungalow with all the comforts of home and more, even the dog was catered for."
Very happy with everything.
We are so glad you were comfortable and happy with everything and that your dog was happy with the facilities too. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"We were staying in Ludlow to help our son and his partner get their new house ready to move in."
Roseland proved to be a perfect base, it is close to their new house and perfectly located to enjoy Ludlow town centre. Roseland is one of the best equipped properties that we have stayed in, one small point - it would benefit from having a larger fridge. We are very likely to stay again in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We are pleased to hear that you were happy with your stay and are likely to return again in the future. We would love to see you again at Roseland in the future. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, super clean, well equipped and comfortable."
About a 20 min walk to centre of Ludlow which for us was great as was easy access to the Long Mynd and Wenlock Edge ( both about a 40 min drive) for lovely walks. Would happily stay there again.
We are so pleased that you were happy with your stay at Roseland. Thank you for your lovely feedback. It would be lovely to see you return to Roseland again in the future. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Excellent property with everything you need and more,very comfortable,quiet,lovely garden."
Great location for visiting many local attractions including National Trust and English Heritage properties, Ludlow itself is a lovely town plenty of walks with the dog.Owners have thought of everything, the conservatory is a quiet place to sit and read.
We are so glad you found Roseland had everything you needed and that you enjoyed your stay. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

Great location, very handy for bus, shop and pub. Everything you could want for a restful break.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you were comfortable had all you needed on hand and enjoyed a restful break. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"We had a good stay, the accommodation was if anything better than described."
The hosts where pleasant and very helpful. Would certainly hope to return one day. Lots of little extra's that made the stay a joy.
What a lovely compliment that you found your stay at Roseland a joy and that the property was better than described. We are so glad you would like to make a return visit and you would be very welcome. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"We had a great stay at Judy’s place."
The little extras were really welcome, especially the scones and dog treats! The house is in a very quiet location, about an easy 15 - 20 minute stroll into lovely Ludlow. It is very well equipped and was extremely clean. The lounge was comfortable and the conservatory would be a real bonus if the weather is good. It would benefit from a bigger fridge freezer for those staying longer. We definitely recommend Roseland.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and recommendation. So glad to hear you had a lovely stay at Roseland. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"We have just returned home from a short Tuesday to Sunday break at Roseland."
The property is amazing. It was very clean and had lots of little extras making it more homely such as an abundance of tea towels, towels, cleaning supplies, dishwasher tablets, wash machine tablets, cotton buds and pads etc which all make the difference. The property is well decorated and has lovely little touches homely touches such as plants, ornaments etc. The information booklet provided is hefty with lots of information in it. We did not use the conservatory due to attending the property in January but I can imagine looking out over the garden from the conservatory in summer would be lovely. The garden is well kept. The house is lovely. The kitchen has all you could need for preparing meals (we were lazy and had a take out each night or went to the local pub) but had we cooked we could have with ease. The living room is comfortable and the heating is easy to adjust. The bedrooms are decorated well and the beds are comfortable. The upstairs toilet was a bonus so you were not having to come downstairs during the night to use the bathroom. All in all the property has 5 out of 5 for homeliness and comfort. The area now. Roseland is about a 20 minute walk from the center of Ludlow. We found a couple of different routes in and had a pleasant walk there with the dog several times. On the opposite side of the main road in there was a large field for dog walking however at this time of the year was a bit muddy and once the sun had gone down very dark so great for looking at the stars. Also towards the petrol station at the top of the road there was a walk to a field at the back of the estate that Roseland is on for walks. Again at night it was very dark on here and due to the time of year a bit muddy but this is to be expected. Ludlow itself was very pretty. We had a walk around and lunch in Ludlow Church on our first morning. It was very nice but on the expensive side for lunch. The town was full of stunning historic properties and had quite a few little local shops. During the week there were a couple of stalls on the little market but on Saturday when we walked to Ludlow to visit the castle the market stalls were all full. The castle was lovely (it is only open weekends during winter months, check the website for opening times / days) It is in very good condition and lots of information markers around explaining what you were looking at and when it had been built / knocked down and rebuilt / converted etc. It was well worth a visit. To sum up I would recommend a visit to Ludlow and would recommend Roseland for anyone wanting to visit.
Thank you so much for your very kind and detailed review this is very much appreciated. We are so glad you enjoyed visiting Ludlow and that you found Roseland a clean and comfortable place to stay. Many thanks Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Good location, very dog friendly."
A good base to see the area. Owners very helpful. Very clean and warm (a winter stay). Fridge is not ideal for a long stay as too small. It is a homely place.
Glad you and your furry friend enjoyed your stay. We appreciate that with a , longer than usual, stay the fridge was not as large as you would have liked, though many guests do appreciate the larger freezer compartment in the summer months. It pleases us that you found Roseland clean and homely this is what we hope for. Many thanks Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"The cottage was well decorated and very clean."
The wrap around garden is lovely and would be stunning in the Spring/Summer. The house is in a lovely quiet spot with plenty of space to park on the drive. Our dogs were secure in the garden but it would have been nice to be able to keep them confined to the rear of the property, thereby keeping them in view and away from the front gate and making it easier to clear up behind them. Once the back door was open, they each ran in different directions…. maybe gates could be added to the sides of the house in the long term? I created temporary barriers using wheelie bins and the garden table. Unfortunately we found the sofa very uncomfortable, , not so good for older backs…. and the fridge far too small, we tended to eat in which meant shopping every day as we couldn’t store much.

"Kept very clean and immaculate, all seating uncomfortable, beds comfortable, ..."
Kept very clean and immaculate, all seating uncomfortable, beds comfortable, tiny odd shaped bathroom and basins, secure garden and parking for two cars
We are glad you found Roseland immaculate and clean and that the beds were comfortable. Sorry you found the sitting room chairs too soft for you. The bathroom is rectangular? We are pleased the dogs were secure in the garden and you appreciated parking both cars on the drive. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"A wonderful find!"
An idea spot to explore Ludlow and Shropshire. There is also handy Co-op and pub/restaurant within 5 mins walk. The cottage is cosy and well equipped. The best feature is the garden, well established with interesting plants. Thank you Judy for a relaxing break.
It’s our pleasure. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and your description of Roseland as cosy and a ‘wonderful find’ pleases us greatly. So nice too that you appreciated the garden. Many thanks . Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"This was a truly outstanding holiday home."
We had everything we needed (and more!) and cleanliness was spot on. A stunning garden that we enjoyed sitting in, and a handy shop and pub just a few minutes walk away. We also loved walking into Ludlow most days, and especially enjoyed the different daily markets and tried many a coffee shop! Thank you so much to Judy and Stuart
Thank you for your lovely comments . We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Roseland and found the cleanliness spot on. We strive to make Roseland the kind of holiday cottage we would want to stay in ourselves. Many thanks. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Absolutely lovely property, super-easy to find off the A49 on the drive in yet situated in a quiet, pretty street, ideal for a short walk into Ludlow town centre and with a Sainsbury's supermarket a one minute drive away and a big Co-Op literally a walk round the corner."
Judy and Ian greeted us at the property, were available for any problems - of which there were none - and we loved our welcome package. Fantastically clean, tidy and very well-equipped house which nonetheless felt like a very cosy home. Great driveway for parking. The front garden is beautiful and reasonably secluded - nice for sitting out - but the back garden is just stunning, a wee work of art, and we can't recommend it highly enough. Obviously a labour of love: Secluded without being isolated, a couple of lovely spots in which to sit and relax - beautiful trees, plants and flowers of all types. Even if it rains you can enjoy it from the generous conservatory or the lounge patio doors. Top Tip: St Laurence Church bell-ringers practice is every Monday from 7:30pm til 9. Get yourself a drink, sit in the garden patio and enjoy the free music. Idyllic.
We are so glad you discovered the bell ringing on Mondays, lovely to hear on a fine evening. I thank you for your appreciation of the garden, it is a challenge to keep it looking wonderful with just a couple of hours on Saturdays, but I do love it when it looks good for our guests to enjoy. Wonderful to know you felt at home and enjoyed your stay at Roseland. Thank you for your kind feedback Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Thank you Judy and Stuart for allowing us to rent this beautiful bungalow and the welcome pack and dog treats."
The property is very well equipped and has loads of space. There are a selection of DVDs, children toys and dog toys. We stayed from 8th July to 22nd July so unlike previous years we seen our fair share of rain. Not that it stopped us having a fantastic time and the owners had thought of everything. (the umbrellas came in very handy ). With the rain it meant that we did spend more time in the bungalow and found the conservatory to be a god send. Sat in the warmth with the doors open listening to the rain on the roof whilst reading was quite therapeutic. The bungalow is dog friendly and we could let our dog roam around the garden safe in the knowledge that she could not escape. It is also a sun trap both at the front and back. There are places to sit in both gardens and chairs also in the shed that you can use. Despite the weather we still went on numerous walks around both Ludlow and the surrounding areas, visiting many places. The walk around the castle is a must. (Not in the castle itself as we didn’t do that). The walk leads to the river where dogs can have a paddle and a short walk later you are walking at the side of the river into the woods. The Co-Op and Squirrel pub are both just minutes walk away as is a field for dogs to have a good run. We preferred to walk into the town in the evening which takes around 20 minutes at a leisurely pace, although we also caught the bus a few times which are dog friendly. If you have a dog, the pubs are all dog friendly. We mainly used the Queens pub as we got talking to a few local people who were really friendly and gave us loads of ideas for walks, most of which we did. The town itself has plenty of places to eat and pubs to drink in. There is a little shop in Ludlow called Vaughans which does an amazing hog roast sandwich. The bacon and sausage baguette is huge so we would buy one to share. They also do a good salad/pasta bar. If you have children i’d recommend a visit to Queenswood Country park. It has a gruffalo trail for kids and a nice play area for them. The cafe also serves reasonably priced food and drinks and plenty of tables if you want to take you own picnic. The walk in the woods is easy going and push chair friendly. If like us you only had a dog then you can venture into the wooded area for a walk. Carding Mill valley is also a good walk with the dog and has fantastic views and a waterfall to walk to, although wear proper footwear as it is quite rugged. We also visited stiperstones which has amazing views into Wales. It can be a tough walk but well worth the effort. There is also a pub nearby called Bridges which has pleasant views and serves food. There are also a number of forest walks on your doorstep and loads of lovely villages around the area. We will defiantly be looking to come back as we had a fantastic time.
Thank you for your lovely detailed feedback. We are delighted that you loved Roseland and visiting Ludlow. The conservatory is well liked by our visitors when the weather is not the best, as guests say it is still like being in the garden. We are pleased you had a good break. Judy & Stuart. Property Owner

"Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay."
House has everything you need. Back garden was quiet and full of roses. Mini supermarket is 5 minutes walk. Host was a great communicator. Would love to stay again. Thank you.
We are so glad your family had a wonderful stay at Roseland. Your visit was at a perfect time to enjoy the roses at their best, though they do continue through the summer too. We are lucky to have the mini supermarket within easy walking distance from Roseland, which is handy for our guests. We would be very pleased to welcome you and your family to stay again in the future. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Rose land is a beautiful quiet cup de sac, on the perimeter of Ludlow."
You have the feeling of a quiet calm feeling from the moment you enter the door. The property hugs you in an embrace, to ensure you feel calm. The owner is thoughtful having left some wine and milk. Everything is spotless and tasteful. We were so fortunate to have it available.
Thank so much you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad that Roseland had a feeling of calm for you. Roseland has always been a happy, well loved home and we do try to to continue this atmosphere for our guests and hope they feel very welcome. Thank you Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"It's a really lovely property."
We particularly liked the garden & the sofa/chair in the living room are incredibly comfortable. Just one very minor issue, the kettle is not up to the standard of the other fixtures & fittings (it seems out of place compared to everything else)
We are pleased you found Rosaland comfortable. Glad Sonny enjoyed the garden. A new fast boil kettle has now replaced the old one. Thank you for watering new plants in the garden. Judy & Stuart Property Owner
-

"A lovely accommodation albeit a bit small."
The rear garden was very attractive , private and well maintained. Kitchen well equipped The stairs were steep and the alarm in the twin bedroom went off several times(during the night) during our stay. Master bedroom very comfy. Great size for small group but a bit small for a family.
We were so sorry to learn that the smoke alarm went off during the last night of your stay. Rest assured the day you alerted us to the problem we checked the property immediately and found nothing wrong, so replaced the alarm the same day. The new smoke alarm has been fine so the old one was faulty and we apologise greatly for this. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"The property was well equipped and sufficient space for the two of us and our three dogs."
The home was comfortable and a nice enclosed garden for the dogs to wonder around. Ludlow centre was only 15mins walk away, which was perfect

"Lovely break to Ludlow made all the better with the lovely accomodation."
Great location 20 minutes walk to the centre. 5 minute walk to the local pub with nice food and the handy Co-op. Everything you needed, lovely and clean. Thank you to the lovely hosts who where there on hand if needed and the welcome treat of Scones with cream and Jam and a bottle of wine..a nice touch.

"Had a lovely week stay at Roseland with my partner and our 2 dogs."
The house was very comfortable and cosy and we particularly enjoyed having our breakfasts and early evening drinks in the conservatory. The property is an easy enough walk to the centre of Ludlow. Ludlow itself is an amazing place, plenty of very good places to eat and drink, and Mortimer Forest was perfect for long walks with the dogs. We definitely intend to return and would be more than happy to stay at Roseland again if it was available.
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Roseland and made good use of the conservatory. We are glad you found Mortimer forest, we take our dogs there too. The forest has so many lovely, different walks for dogs to enjoy and it is at its best in Autumn when the leaves are changing colour. Thank you for your positive review, we would love to have you back and meet your beautiful dogs again. Judy & Stuart Property Owner

"Brilliant holiday at Roseland, the owners were lovely - always on hand to help or answer queries and left a lovely welcome pack."
The house was beautifully decorated and had a very pretty garden which we made use of most evenings. Excellent location, close to amenities. Beds and furniture very comfy and the gorgeous bedding and towels added a bit of luxury. The house felt very homely and not at all like a cold holiday let. We highly recommend a holiday at Roseland.
