“There was everything you would need on arrival including scones, clotted cream and milk.”

It's a fantastic location with lots to see and do in the area.

It's a fantastic location with lots to see and do in the area.

- Mrs Mann, October 2019
“The cottage is absolutely delightful, situated just 5 minutes walk from the town centre.”

It is well appointed with everything we could have wanted and more. The beds and seating are all very comfortable and the mews area is quiet and restful. All in all an excellent holiday!!

- Mr Cavanagh, September 2019
“A Brilliant place to stay, the property had everything and more, even a cream tea was left for us to enjoy.”

The property was only a few minutes from the town centre with plenty of places to eat for all tastes. we would definitely rent this property again.

- Mrs Porter, September 2019
“Perfect location to explore Ludlow and environs.”

Close proximity to public transport (train and bus) provided options over and above walking or driving. Although an easy walk into town, the Mews is set back off Corve Street and quiet. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable and offered lots of 'little extras' - plenty of rugs and throws, mirrors, tissues, soap dispensers, food storage bags etc as well as fresh milk and a welcome pack of scones, jam and clotted cream!

- Ms Johnson, August 2019
“Great cottage in a location that made getting around Ludlow really easy.”

Loved sitting outside with a glass of wine at the end of the day and we look forward to coming back again.

- Mrs Laverick, August 2019
“The cottage is ideally located in the centre of Ludlow, with its own parking.”

It is very well equipped, and well thought-out, a veritable home from home. It is modern, clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the welcome cream tea. Ludlow is a very interesting town to visit, and everything is on your doorstep. We would not hesitate in recommending this property to others, and would be more than happy to revisit.

- Mr Jackson, August 2019
“A delightful cottage, very well equipped and immaculately clean.”

Very convenient for the attractive and interesting town centre. Overall, a lovely place to stay. A minor point: the house would be very crowded with four adults, (we were two)it would be difficult to watch television in any comfort for four people in a small room. Terrible television reception , but that is not the house owners fault. They have put in a way to watch TV through some other means which I must admit we found hard to operate. But we were happy to watch DVDs instead, having brought a box set with us. It was only on the last day that we found some good DVDs in a wicker basket in the house, it would have been good to have that told to us in the information booklet. But these are minor points, overall the house was charming and we had a really good week, we`d certainly be happy to return there.

- Ms Ashton, June 2019

Many thanks for your lovely review of our cottage in Ludlow. We're glad you had a great time and also glad you found the DVD's: we've now added directions to the DVD stack to the house manual! There's not much we can do about Ludlow's TV reception and, as the house is a listed building, we can't add satellite TV. We installed Now TV with access to movies, box sets and multi-channels so guests can enjoy watching. It does take a little time to get the hang of it if you're unfamiliar with the use of apps.We also wanted to assure you that should you return with friends, that while, like almost all cottages in lovely Ludlow, the house is compact, it is actually very comfortable with 4 people staying. The living room has a large Laura Ashley couch and two large armchairs, all extremely high-quality and we've had many groups of four in with no problem. As you know, the main bedroom is very spacious and the second comfortably contains a double-sized bed and the whole cottage has nice high ceilings and a wide and easy staircase. * *Once again, thanks for staying with us and thanks too for your feedback. We hope to see you here again next time you visit Ludlow Sykes owner relations
“Ideally located for exploring Ludlow and the surrounding area.”

Plenty of local restaurants within walking distance if you require. Ticked all the boxes. Would be happy to recommend.

- Mr Slotnick, June 2019
“We had a fantastic stay at Old Star & Garter Mews!”

A delightful cottage in a great location. The house felt very spacious house and the free off street parking was a great bonus. Thank you for having us!

- Miss Klatt, June 2019
“Situation of this cottage excellent - within minutes of Ludlow town centre.”

Castle, market, restaurants, shops, brewery - all within easy walking distance. Just a short drive to Ludlow Farm Shop - well worth a visit. Cottage itself very comfortable and well equipped - a delightful place to stay.

- Mr Hewson, June 2019
“This property was s delight it felt like home the minute you walked in.”

Everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The lovely touches on arrival of some provisions were very much appreciated down to the scones and even clotted cream in the fridge. I would love to come back one day. This is in a lovely market town and this property is only a very short walk to the centre.

- Mrs Roberts, May 2019
“The cottage was lovely and well equipped.”

Shame there wasn’t a wardrobe in the main bedroom. Would definitely stay there again and Ludlow had some lovely restaurants and markets.

- Mr Reddecliffe, May 2019
“Very nice place, convenient for the station and shops and a short walk to the castle.”

Nice quiet location too.

- Mr Spyrakis, May 2019
“Ideally situated in the heart of Ludlow, must mention that there was no phone signal at all and if you like to relax in front of the television at the end of the day that was also very limited, luckily that was not a priority for us.”

Cottage was lovely and comfortable , everything on our doorstep

- Mrs Baker, March 2019
“Very cosy, very well equipped cottage in an ideal location!”

Whatbis there not to like!! Short walk to town centre, shops, railway station, tourist attractions (Castle, markets etc) supermarket 2 mins walk and parking! Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend!

- Mr Gow, January 2019
“Very well equipped modernised cottage in a very central position.”

All information about the property readily available in a folder and the cleanliness could not be faulted. Entrance to the mews is extremely narrow and has to be navigated carefully - especially in a large car. The heating is all electric and unfortunately , when we visited , it was during a cold spell when the temperature was below zero. It was difficult to warm the property.

- Mr Stephen, October 2018

Thank you for the lovely review. We really try to make everybody happy on every visit and we’re pleased that you enjoyed your stay. It did slightly concern us about the warmth and, since you didn’t contact us or Sykes about the issue while staying, it was impossible for us to point you in the right direction. Our cottage is a small mid terrace with plenty of heating and we think, respectfully, that you may have set the heating controls incorrectly. When we went to the property after your stay, the heating in the kitchen had been switched to the ‘cool’ setting, not simply switched off. In the living room the fire had been set to display only the flames, not to ‘heat’. And, lastly, the bathroom rail heater had been switched off at the plug. When switched on they were all working and heated the house up very quickly (as is normal). As we tend to occupy the property in winter we are conscious of having a warm place for our guests which is why we spell out the various heating outputs (8 in all, in a 5 room house). It’s clear that we haven’t been accurate enough with the heating instructions so we’ll update and improve them again! Thanks once again for your custom and really hope to see you again soon. Next time we strongly suggest calling our handyman/housekeeper or Sykes in the event of any issues. Sykes owner relations
“Ideally situated and well equipped cottage it was spotlessly clean and hope to be able to go back soon”

- Mrs Day, October 2018
“Handy for being in Ludlow high street, near to the castle and river.”

Also seeing the wonderful villages and country side around .

- Mrs Leney, September 2018
“This is a charming little mews cottage right in town so no need to use the car for trips to the lovely independent shops, market, castle or walks by the river.”

The entrance road to the property is very narrow but having navigated it once it wasn't a problem. We were overall very pleased with the property but having read the listings we were rather expecting 2 kingsize beds and 2 settees. What we got was 1 beautifully appointed kingsize bedroom and one rather small double room with a very soft double bed. The lounge had one rather uncomfortable settee, different from the photos and 2 comfy armchairs so there was always a fight for the chairs! seems rather petty to mention but there was an abundance of cushions which was fine but they were all extremely dusty which didn't go down so well with those among us that suffer from allergies.

- Mrs Nelson, August 2018
“Wonderful cottage in the perfect location in Ludlow.”

I found the cottage to be the perfect size for us and very comfortable. I did wonder if the bedding is washed as there is no duvet cover for the down comforter and no top sheet for the beds. This may be a UK thing, but I like to know that my duvet has not touched another person. Top notch flatware, glasses, plates and appliances. Everything we needed for our stay and a nice short walk to everything. I would improve the directions a bit to have it more anchored on the nearby Tesco which is easier to find using GPS. We had a heck of a time finding it. We would definitely stay here again.

- Mrs Vessels, May 2018
“The cottage was lovely and well equipped.”

The directions to the cottage were not as good as they could have been, and the alley that you have to drive through to park is quite narrow. Luckily we only had a small car.
