The Coach House

The property was above our expectations, and very well equipped.

Jayne and Mike were very welcoming and very helpful with any issues we had. Lots of lovely towns and villages within easy reach of our accommodation,and again Jayne and Mike were happy to recommend places to visit. A very tranquil place to stay and would highly recommend The Coach House to family and friends. Mike and Cath West Yorkshire

Always a delight staying at the Coach House.

Wonderfully relaxing and comfortable in peaceful grounds with fantastic views. Everything has been thought about carefully. The kind of place you want to come to again and again. Very highly recommended. Plenty of excellent local eateries. Ludlow is only a 10 minute drive away with excellent facilities and markets. Also a great base for exploring further afield. Ironbridge, Hereford, Shrewsbury all less than an hour away and the most amazing landscapes right on your doorstep. Ludlow Castle is a must see along with Stokesay Castle and Clee Hill.

Lovely week at the Coach House, owners were very welcoming but not intrusive.

Advised us of best places to eat, walk from door etc. Coach House was also very cool in the heatwave with a fan provided to help. Beds very comfortable had everything you need for your stay. Only a few miles from Ludlow for food shopping. Views from property were amazing and the bird song was beautiful. A lovely House, lovely gardens, in a beautiful area. Would definitely recommend.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at The Coach House, Richard’s Castle.

The minute I walked through the door I fell in love with the property. The kitchen, like the rest of the house, was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The open plan dining-sitting room was very comfortable with a good TV all the better to watch the World Cup. The bedrooms were beautifully dressed, the bathroom just right with fat white towels. We arrived during the heat wave and it was relief to find that the curtains had been closed against the heat and a large powerful fan provided for our comfort. We were in a good place to be able to visit a different National Trust or English Heritage property every day, as well as spending time in Ludlow, a delightful town, where the market is a treat and practically everyone had smiles on their faces. We enjoyed excellent meals at The Church Inn in Ludlow and The Maidenhead in Orleton. We had the pleasure of walking round the garden at The Coach House. It is fabulous & would do credit to any stately home. Oh yes, we thoroughly recommend The Coach House & the hospitable owners Jayne & Michael, ready to help if required, otherwise respecting our privacy. When can we come again!!? Maureen & Michael

Well where can we start From the moment we arrived The hosts Jayne and Micheal made us feel like part of the family that had come to stay for a few days The cottage was big and airy with a homely feel The views were wonderful helped by the good weather Plenty of space to walk around the owners land A spectacular garden The local area with lots to do Ludlow was like stepping back in time Happy memories made and hopefully would return in a different season Thank you both for making our holiday so memorable

We had a lovely stay at The Coach House.

The cottage is well equipped, spacious and very comfortable. It is in a great area and has lovely gardens and places to roam around the grounds. The owners were friendly and excellent hosts. I hope to return again soon. Many thanks.

The Coach House at the Old Rectory more than met our expectations.

The high spec renovation reflects a refined aesthetic with attention to detail. The owners were welcoming and responsive while respecting our privacy. In short, the house, the beautiful setting and the experience overall means we will keep the Coach House top of the list for future visits! Lyn

This was a perfect holiday cottage.

Quiet secluded location and very relaxing break.Close to some excellent restaurants. Well equipped and comfortable cottage,would certainly recommend. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. Would book again for 2026.

If anything, Coach House exceeded our expectations.

Obviously there has been a lot of care and attention given to detail when converting the property from its previous use. The cottage is very comfortable and we immediately felt at home. A bonus is the neighbouring delightful and extensive garden of the owner which we were invited to share. It was lovely to meet Jayne and her husband; it's always nice to meet the owners of properties and share their local knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and fully intend to return. is well located for Ludlow and

Beautiful location; comfortable cottage and welcoming owners; would love to return.

Wow!

What a lovely base to explore Ludlow and Shropshire from. We visited this time last year but the review seems to have disappeared! The accommodation was simply perfect. Loads of space and very relaxing. The Coach House was perfectly appointed with everything in excellent condition. We had a lovely time during our stay and my two girls fell in love with Pippi the dog! The owners were incredibly kind and helpful. So much to do nearby and further afield. A perfect location for checking out Ludlow and Ironbridge. We'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in the area. An absolute gem.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Coach House in April.

It is in a beautiful area with easy access to nearby National Trsut properties. We were made very welcome by Jayne and warmly invited to visit her lovely garden. The weather was exceptional for early April and we were warm and cosy in The Coach House in the evenings. We had everything we needed for a relaxing week.

Very clean and comfortable cottage.

Good location to explore Shropshire.

We were greeted with a warm welcome.

The views were amazing. The cottage was really clean and everything needed was provided. When we went to leave our car battery was flat and they very kindly brought their car round and jump started it. I would recommend this cottage to anyone and the helpfulness of the owners.

Jayne and Michael were the perfect hosts.

Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage itself was superb. It had everything you could possibly need and it was very clean, comfortable and well located for trips. It was also in a very stunning setting. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to others.

Jayne was super helpful, the property all we had hoped for.

It was lovely to come back each day to a cozy house. Everything was well provided for in the kitchen and the house generally.

The hosts (Jane and Mike) were very friendly and made us feel at home over our New Year break; the cottage was very comfortable and clean and their grounds interesting.

We liked the welcoming of bread, milk and butter. Kitchen very well equipped. Our only issue was we would have liked the option of a lighter weight duvet, it was very heavy! Maybe a DVD player would have been another option to include in the cottage. The views from the cottage were outstanding, the night skies were so clear! Otherwise, the area was great, lots of interesting places to visit in Ludlow and Hereford, National Trust and English Heritage places within easy reach, Ludlow Castle and Mappa Mundi in Hereford Cathedral.

Great place well equipped, clean and comfortable The Hosts were very pleasant and helpful.

The country side and Ludlow makes this a great holiday destination

Everything we expected and more.

Lovely setting in beautiful gardens and one of the best cottages we have stayed in.Easy access to various places of interest with quiet roads.Jayne and Michael were perfect hosts, not intrusive but around if needed which we didn’t.Would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing break,we hope to return soon

What can we say apart from the Coach House is fantastic ,spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and very well equipped The host Jayne was very friendly and provided everything needed to ensure we had the perfect holiday The gardens and views are amazing for a relaxing holiday and we would certainly recommend this holiday home Linda

Delightful cottage with almost everything you'd need, located in the grounds of the owner's home with access to their beautiful gardens with a lake.

Well located for various National Trust properties and gardens to visit, close to Ludlow for shops and restaurants. Jayne was lovely, very welcoming and helpful. Will certainly be back.

Absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage with gorgeous surroundings.

Hosts very friendly, extremely comfortable bed and everything you would need was provided for - even down to a torch in the bedside cabinet! Close to National Trust and English Heritage sites plus we are also members of RHS so visited Malvern Show. Would highly recommend. Ludlow , a beautiful town is also close by, plus many lovely walks in the surrounding area. Nothing not to like… Highly recommended.

Excellent cottage.

Very spacious and well equipped. Set in beautiful grounds. The owner,Jayne, is very pleasant and helpful. Near to so many nearby places to visit including National Trust properties and lovely towns like Ludlow. Would highly recommend

Jayne and Michael were lovely hosts and on-hand for advice or issues.

The cottage was perfect (2 couples over New Year) Scenery was stunning even in the winter. Would highly recommend

This was a great stay in a lovely converted coach house, with plenty of space and all the facilities we needed.

It was exactly as described. Owners very helpful. The garden and grounds are beautiful. There is plenty to enjoy in the surrounding area.

Lovely weekend stay, Jayne & Michael both v.

hospitable. Cottage was ideal, clean, well appointed & ideal location to explore Ludlow & surrounding areas.

Very comfortable, clean and good quality accommodation with a helpful unobtrusive owner next door.

Good base for touring yet quiet for relaxing in lovely garden.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House.

The house and garden are beautiful, well equipped and spacious. A very relaxing base from which to explore Shropshire.

Another very enjoyable stay.

Very comfortable cottage set in beautiful grounds with views of the surrounding countryside.

Lovely accommodation in a stunning location we couldn’t fault it.

Lovely, well equipped cottage .

Beautiful setting with a stunning garden to walk around.A short drive to Ludlow and supermarkets. Enjoyed every minute!

A wonderful holiday cottage in a very peaceful location.

The hosts made me feel very welcome. I would definitely stay again.

Lovely, clean and spacious cottage in a stunning setting.

The owner was helpful and very kindly allows guests to access their beautiful garden and fields too. We enjoyed walks in Mortimer forest, Ludlow and it's castle and nearby National Trust Berrington hall. There is so much to do in the area with some brilliant walking and cycling trails. Perfect family holiday, my boys (7&10) thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to rebook straight away. Highly recommend this property!

A lovely spacious cottage in a quiet location that is just right for wandering around this part of south west Shropshire and north west Herefordshire, especially the Mortimer forest.

Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week at the Coach House, it’s a lovely, homely cottage with all you could need.

We had some fantastic walks at Croft Castle and Mortimer Castle even given the March mud and rain. A day at the Small Breeds park is thoroughly recommended and only 30 minutes away. We plan to return in better weather when the gardens around the cottage will be a delight and to tackle some more trails in Mortimer Forest

Lovely cottage.

Comfortable, and relatively spacious. Views from the cottage across green fields and a valley, and good local walks through woodlands and to the 11th century castle and church at Richard's Castle.

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful and peaceful situation.

Our first holiday at The Coach House was relaxing, comfortable and well worth repeating.

Jayne was helpful in us settling into the property and the gardens surrounding us were beautiful. A peaceful place with lovely views and easy access to interesting places - excellent!

An idyllic week in a lovely, beautifully furnished property, with extensive gardens, which we were encouraged to use.

The owners were most welcoming.

Loved our stay.

Ground floor bedroom & bathroom was ideal for our elderly parents. Gardens are stunning.

Lovely property in a beautiful location.

We were made to feel very welcome by the owners. Able to explore and enjoy their splendid gardens. Within easy reach of Ludlow and many places of interest.

Nothing could convey in advance the beautiful setting.

The Coach House is extremely cosy, comfortable and a lovely place to relax in.

The kitchen is a good size and is very well equipped. The living room is light spacious and airy (plenty of room for 4 adults) and the bedrooms are bright and thoughtfully furnished with comfy beds for a good nights sleep. The whole cottage has been planned with lots of care, love and attention to detail. It is in an area of natural beauty with fabulous views and lots of local walks. Jayne and Michael are very helpful and are happy for you to enjoy walks around their lake and garden, which when we visited was bursting with spring flowers.

Warm, comfortable cottage with wonderful garden and countryside views.

Very good location for walking in the Mortimer Forest and to Richards Castle. Ludlow and The Ludlow Farm Shop a short drive away. Excellent Quarry Farm Shop 5 miles in the opposite direction.

The Coach House is a fantastic place to stay.

Good location to visit surrounding areas. Jayne was able to give advice about places to visit and eat. The property has everything you would need and more. It is well looked after and helped make a fantastic stay even better!

As a single, not too agile, traveller the Coach House ground floor setup of kitchen, dining, living, bathroom and main bedroom suited me perfectly.

The upstairs twin looked cosy but I did not use. Lovely to be able to sit outside and enjoy the gardens and countryside views. Friendly but unobtrusive hosts were on hand in the adjacent Rectory if needed. Great location for touring and exploring. Ludlow is a gem. I hope to return.

Owners very friendly and helpful, the coach house was very comfortable.

Definitely return what more can you say it matches anything we’ve stayed

The directions for getting there could have been clearer.

Please include the fact that the drive leading to the cottage is about a hundred yards from a red letter box situated on the right or left of the road, depending on which way you are coming from. The drive is in fact at the bottom of the hill on the main road.

Comfortable cottage with beautiful views.

Could do with some updating, but beautiful area and views.

If space is luxury then the Coach House Holiday Cottage offers the most luxurious space of any cottage we have ever stayed in.

The grounds are exceptional. The friendly welcome and eager but discrete help was an excellent contribution to our enjoyment of a well equipped and comfortable cottage. The King size bed was a useful space to practice WHO standard of social spacing!

Great hosts,lovely cottage,very quiet location with a good garden and views of Shropshire hills.

we will go back.

Amazing views from the cottage.

Freedom to walk and sit in the wonderful owners' garden. A peaceful and very relaxing situation just what was needed after lockdown! Great places to visit in beautiful countryside.

the cottage was amazing gardens were beautiful the owners were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive we had a lovely holiday would highly recommend this cottage

The cottage is in a great location with views over Ludlow and central to a number of attractions in the area.

Very comfortable cottage with good facilities. Wi-Fi good,- a nice bonus. Hosts very friendly and available if needed.

This is a perfect location for a winter break - well, a break at any time of year actually.

The owner is so friendly and helpful, but also discrete. The grounds and gardens are lovely with the snowdrops just coming through.The ancient Mortimer Forest is accessible over the road and there are all sorts of walks to take: climbing up high for views, winding along stream valleys, short, long, on forest vehicle tracks or on grass walking tracks. So there is always somewhere to go even when it is very wet. Plenty of deer and birds of prey, but mostly silence! The winter light is ever changing and beautiful. Ludlow is a spectacular, historic town to visit with ancient pubs and wonderful country fare. It is the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in so far with extensive views and all the home comforts you could wish for.

Accommodation excellent.

Best self catering rental we have had in a long time. Very cosy and a home from home. Plenty of lovely soft towels. Many more facilities than we expected. Good base to explore local area. Lots of national trust places to visit.

The Coach House is a beautifully presented cottage in lovely surroundings in an area with many interesting places to explore nearby.

Jayne, the owner is very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend booking The Coach House and we plan to return again ourselves.

We very much enjoyed our weeks stay at The Coach House with it’s lovely gardens and quiet relaxed atmosphere.

Our intention when booking was to use the house as a base for walking in the area and it certainly met our expectations with numerous local walks from the door and the magnificent Shropshire hills a short drive away. A must for any walker is a ramble up Brown Clee ( the highest point in Shropshire) and Tittestone Clee both of which have fantastic three hundred and sixty degree views across various counties. Richards Castle and Ludlow are also within easy walking distance. Their are a number of pubs/restaurants within a short drive away which we made full use of during our stay.

The cottage and extensive grounds were delightful.

This is a very well-equipped, spacious, comfortable and peaceful place to stay. It provided us with an excellent base from which to explore Shropshire and further afield. The owner was friendly, available, yet not intrusive, and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely wish to make a return visit to The Coach House, if staying in Shropshire again. Thank you.

Great accommodation in a beautiful setting.

Jane is a wonderful host and nothing was too much trouble.

As a family who uses holiday cottages two of three times a year this is one of the best cottages we have stayed in the cottage is clean comfortable and spacious the gardens with acres to wander around complete with lake are beautiful with lots of hidden places to find and sit the owners are who live next to the cottage make you feel very welcome and encourage you to use the garden as your own great place to stay with lot to do and places to see in the local area recommend going up Clee hill, Powis Castle and go and find the remains of Richard castle with its resident goats is a nice walk and a bit of fun.

Very kind and helpful hosts.

A beautiful cottage. Would go back whenever possible. Loved the views and the peaceful atmosphere.

Lovely cottage just two miles outside Ludlow set in beautiful gardens yet within easy distance to all amenities.

The owners made us very welcome, bread, butter and milk were there when we arrived as were some flowers. Ideal base to discover Shropshire and we will certainly keep this cottage in mind when coming back to this great part of the UK

We loved the cottage and grounds.

Superb. The owner was friendly and helpful. We intend going back sometime.
