“Overall, the property is excellent.”
Overall, the property is excellent. Very welcoming and helpful hosts, whilst remaining unobtrusive. We would only make note of one or two points as advisory notice for future bookers. The property IS situated right next to a busy A road (A49) and traffic noise can be heard quite a lot most of the time. The small town of Craven Arms, whilst not far away, is only walkable along the A49 (as far as we could determine) and the nearest village pub (The Plough in Wistanstow) is only a ten minute walk but is reached via narrow and unlit lanes so be aware of this if planning to return once dark. The only other thing we would mention, and we appreciate this is all down to personal preferences, is that the mattress on our bed was extremely soft, more so than just about anywhere else we have come across, so again be aware if you require a firm mattress.
The hot tub was an absolute bonus and God-send. We didn't book the property on the strength of its having one, and weren't even sure we would use it before we arrived, but we didn't half miss it the night after we left!!
The Annexe has just about everything you could need, including the full works on Sky TV (Movies only after 8pm) and in HD. Rooms were all wonderfully spacious and well-equipped and the level of cleanliness was extremely high.
The location of the property in terms of exploring the area is very good, being central to Ludlow, Shrewsbury, many good walks and places of interest. The only things that would possibly prevent us from re-booking The Annexe would be the proximity of the A49 (not much anyone can do about that!), slight lack of nicely walkable pubs or eateries and, for us, the mattress. Otherwise would book again in a heartbeat.
