Lovely period home. ##### Roger H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johnathan V. 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly a magical transport back in time I don’t know where to begin; certainly not at the beginning, we would be here too long considering the house dates back to the 14th century. If you are looking for something that screams old world and yet, maintains modern conveniences, this is for you. I am glad I had a kettle for my tea as opposed to swinging a pot over an open fire, though it still feels like you could be doing just that. Ludlow itself is an amazing little market town, replete with great food and awesome people. The house seems to fit right in with that paradigm. Old in all the right places to provide charm and a glimpse of history, and yet new where it counts. My wife and I are avid fans of escape to the country which we get on Britbox here in the US, and sitting in that house made us feel as though we were on the show. It was the perfect accommodation for a perfect stay. Only 1 mile from the train station, which meant easy access to getting there and venturing out to places like Shrewsbury and Hereford on day trips. The market is just up the road, as are plenty of quaint shops and eateries. What I am trying to say is that it is not merely quaint and comfortable, but also convenient. Lovely home, even on a cold and rainy day in the UK countryside with all the amenities of home. ##### Johnathan V.
