“This attractive cottage is very well located being less than five minutes' walk from Ludlow's market place and is ideally situated for enjoying the town's facilities and those in the wider area.”

The opening giving vehicular access to the cottage is very narrow and needs care to avoid scraping your vehicle but (when driven through) leads to two parking spaces allocated to the cottage. The cottage itself is fairly comfortable and the heating adequate, at least for those colder evenings in late summer; autumn/winter might be another matter. But the allocation of just one set of door keys is a bit limiting, even for a couple, let alone two couples sharing the accommodation. And it is ...

The opening giving vehicular access to the cottage is very narrow and needs care to avoid scraping your vehicle but (when driven through) leads to two parking spaces allocated to the cottage. The cottage itself is fairly comfortable and the heating adequate, at least for those colder evenings in late summer; autumn/winter might be another matter. But the allocation of just one set of door keys is a bit limiting, even for a couple, let alone two couples sharing the accommodation. And it is disappointing that there is no facility for recycling paper and cardboard, although that would appear to be the fault of the local council.

- Mr Watson, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback re 138E Old Star & Garter Mews. Unfortunately there is little we can do to extend the vehicle access to the property as the cottage was built in 1820 and is a listed building. We do point it out to our guests and, although it's a bit nervy the first time so far there have been no incidents! Parking is at a premium in Ludlow and we are fortunate to be able to offer our guests plenty of free parking space 24 hours a day. We are fully aware of the heating we provide in the cottage for both Summer and Winter. Both bedrooms have wall mounted electric heaters. The bathroom has a good size wall mounted heater/towel rail and in the lounge we have an OptyMist Log burner plus extra free standing heaters which we keep in the cupboard under the stairs. We also have two oil burning radiators which are available to our guests at all times if required. We do point out in the cottage manual should extra heating be required to call our manager and he will sort straight away. We have taken on board your feedback on providing one set of door keys. Up until recently we clearly pointed out in the house manual should guests lock themselves out our manager is local and available to sort out the problem. I understand Mr Watson unfortunately did lock himself out of the cottage and our manager was able to resolve the situation within ten minutes. We also note to our guests to leave the keys in the lock box when leaving to avoid these accidents occurring. But we appreciate the feedback and now have two sets for our guests on arrival. Also we do provide a recycling bin for guests which is kept underneath the sink in the kitchen. Due to space it's tricky to provide more than one bin and we ask guests to leave any recycling to be sorted by our housekeeper during changeovers. - Sykes owner relations
“Charming and light filled cottage in perfect location for exploring Shropshire countryside and the lovely town of Ludlow.”

Dishwasher meant to be fitted on day we left to enhance already great facilities. Drive to plentiful off road parking is very narrow - pull in the wing mirrors!

- Mrs Thorpe, August 2020
“The cottage was well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.”

It was also perfectly located as everything you needed was on your doorstep. We enjoy walking and there were a number of beautiful walks to be had in the Ludlow vicinity. We all felt relaxed which says a lot given what 2020 has thrown at the world.

- Mr Stoddart, August 2020
“A week of peace and quiet in a lovely little cottage, with all facilities on hand, and in a great part of the UK.”

Just what was needed.

- Mr Sullock, July 2020
“Cosy cottage in ideal location to explore Ludlow.”

Although small it worked well for two couples

- Mr Gregory, November 2019
“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.

- Mrs Mann, October 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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
