Independent hotels in Ludlow, England

"Full of character, lovely staff, nice rooms, unfortunately a bit hot and no fan or tv remote "

"A cheeky last minute booking at a great price including breakfast. It was our first time in the area and this hotel did not disappoint. The check-in was quick and easy, the hardest thing was remembering my car registration for the free parking! The staff were lovely and friendly and helpful too. She informed us about the bar and restaurant opening hours and when the very generous buffet style breakfast would be served in the morning. The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and the room had air-conditioning. The shower in the bathroom was nice and hot and powerful too with good sized fluffy towels too. The tea and coffee making facilities in the room were the usual sachets and UHT milk, so not the best, but we knew we'd get a decent proper brew in the morning with our cooked breakfast in the restaurant so that wasn't a problem. The hotel was busy for a Sunday night and even though the carpark is a good size it was still quite full when we returned after an afternoon in Shrewsbury ( which is a lovely place to visit with plenty of character and only a ten-fifteen minute drive away). The restaurant was also very busy at breakfast and all seats were taken when we arrived but thankfully the helpful staff directed us to the lounge area with extra tables and chairs set out as an overflow. The breakfast was varied and plentiful with a choice of cereals, pastries, cakes, fruit and yoghurt and of course the obligatory cooked breakfast too. Num num."

"Easy access, free parking and clean room"

"Absolutely loved this hotel and would definitely go back. It was a real gem, had lovely seating areas downstairs, a huge bedroom with really good quality furniture and amenities. A lot of thought had been put into the tea and coffee making facilities in the room, lots of choice and different tea selections"

"Bed comfort room clean "

"Lovely Old Hotel "

"This is our second visit since covid. The place is wonderfully quiet and the pool is good. What lets it down is the hotel and pool area could do with some TLC (and a few quid spending on it). It's a little bit tired & the external appearance shows when you take a closer look. Broken soffits in the newer part and the pool needs to be refurbished before it starts to rot. there was no body wash in the changing rooms and no warning till it was too late. However, there was plenty of tea and coffee and the staff were very friendly. "

"Staff were excellent both at check in and any time of the day. Breakfast was very good and the lounge area was very comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of Shrewsbury so access to all areas is very easy . Good internet access and the bedroom comfortable with a bath as well. Evening meal the restaurant was also good. Would recommend this hotel."

"This property is exceptional, beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, safe room, water provided every day, lovely staff, great food, we had beautiful breakfasts every morning of our 4 nights stay & dined in the restaurant 1 night, we had a room with a lovely view of the Severn, my only gripe is that the rooms are very warm, a fan was provided which helped a bit.
