A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was 'the quietest place under the sun' and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
We booked the Maltsters House for a week in January to celebrate a reunion and 70th birthday. The house is in a superb location, minutes from the town centre and railway station. It has a large dining room and comfortable lounge with very efficient log burner. The kitchen is large and extremely well equipped, with everything you could ask for. There was even a welcome pack of wine, milk and flowers. The four bedrooms are all large and comfortable. The house is very well presented, spacious and comfortable and we had a great time. I look forward to going back soon and unreservedly recommend it
Idea location to walk to all Ludlow has to offer especially the food festival. Which was great again this year! Central to all our family who joined us. Rooms were well presented and all COVID rules are in place and followed. Would recommend this property for gatherings and family holidays. Ludlow is a great town for culture and history
Stayed here with a group of 8 friends over a weekend. The cottage is amazing, the decor is gorgeous and such a lovely welcome pack which included a bottle of wine! - Tea towels, towels, dish washer tablets, washing up liquid, everything was on hand so all we needed to stock up on was our own food and drink for the weekend. The bedrooms were lovely and a great size. The upstairs bathroom was a ballroom! In the living room there were also lots of cosy blankets for the evenings when we were sitting drinking and chatting. The location of the house is perfect for Ludlow. 5 minutes walk to the station, 500 yds from Tesco! 5 minutes walk to the Brewery, and a very short walk to Ludlow centre. Everything was in easy walking distance. Thank you for a lovely place to stay that made our girly weekend get together all they more enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
I took my family here for my 70th birthday. Ludlow itself is a charming town, with good delis, its own brewery and a memorable hardware shop (to me, a place isn't worth visiting if it doesn't have a big. rambling hardware shop). It's got two castles too. The Maltster's house is perfect for a stay in Ludlow, It's comfortable, very well equipped and perfectly located (a 5 minute walk into town). It's also a 5 minute walk to the station.
This beautiful house is on one of the main roads a stone's throw from the town centre. It's within a minute's walk of two supermarkets and just a little further to the many shops, pubs and restaurants for which Ludlow is well known The rooms were large and full of character, well furnished and made a birthday weekend a wonderful family occasion. The owners were helpful and informative. We could not have asked for better.
A group of 9 friends stayed over a weekend here and found it was perfect for what we needed. The house is gorgeous and huge, with plenty of space for that many guests (I still can't get over the size of the upstairs bathroom) and all the facilities you need. It was a great base for us to explore Ludlow (castle, local country walks and sausage rolls from the Saturday market highly recommended) and was comfy and cosy for the cold January evenings. The only tiny negative was that the WiFi connection wasn't great, but otherwise all ideal.
Group stay with 9 girls for a weekend away to explore historic & charming Ludlow. The house is very welcoming with older character style & furnishings but with plenty of comfort. Spacious downstairs reception rooms with seating for all, workable kitchen, range of bedroom sizes including family size. 2 bathrooms (not 3 as advertised). WiFi not great but general signal in this town not good. Main road location with 4-5 spaces opposite which we did have a couple of permits for & Sunday free otherwise found council car park behind Tesco for 1st day so between town & property. Didn't actually use the small courtyard but looked nice & private but unsure what/where the 2 doors were for also similar with the extra staircase from 1st floor to attic?
It was a pleasure for myself and three friends to stay in this very comfortable house where everything was provided for the comfort of guests. Ludlow was a very interesting town with so much historical background, beautiful buildings and we enjoyed the great variety of restaurants available.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the owners for going out of their way to make our stay exceptional. We could not fault her property; it was beautiful, with lovely comfortable beds and crisp white linen. I would highly recommend Ludlow and The Maltster's House as somewhere to stay.
The house was so comfortable and warm! The fittings and furniture were of a very high standard. The upstairs bathroom was particularly amazing, we loved it! We are looking forward to going back and staying there again and again!
A fabulous location and house, would highly recommend this property to anyone.
We had an excellent weekend with the family, it lived up to all our expectations. The town was a very good base and there was more than we could manage to visit. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to any potential customers.
In an excellent location for exploring Ludlow and its surroundings on foot and a good base for exploring the area by car. The house is very well appointed and accommodated our party of 6 adults in great comfort. The wood burner in the sitting room is a great feature - and was most welcome after a day's walking in February! Parking was easy and grocery shopping two supermarkets was just round the corner. There were many places to eat and drink within easy walking - the Unicorn pub must be one of the best in the area and is only a 2 minute stroll away.
Stayed at here with a group of friends, so we could enjoy the food delights of Ludlow. The photos and description on the website looked great, which made us all eagerly anticipate the visit. And on arrival we weren't disappointed. 4 lovely clean bedrooms, with crisp white linen. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms and a "country style" kitchen with plenty of cooking facilities. Two living areas with a large TV in each, and a log burning stove in one. Plenty of seats and a dining table that could easily accommodate 10-12 guests. However a niggle was that one bedroom didn't have anywhere to store clothes, (all others had a closet/wardrobe/chest, etc.). If you're staying for a week with friends not family, that's important. The other niggle (maybe not important to all) was that the advertised wifi, was incredibly slow. It could take over 5 minutes to download some web pages. A great location, just a 10 minute walk up the hill to Ludlow Buttercross, which is arguably the town centre. Here you can find a vast range of small shops and markets, so you won't want for anything. If you're more a supermarket person, there is a medium sized Tesco and Aldi about 3 minutes walk away, or a Co-op a little further away. Ludlow is not short of places to eat, from Michelin style restaurants to cozy cafés. Just take your pick. And many are really quite close by The Maltsters. For example La Becasse, was a 3 minute walk. The Unicorn pub (highly recommended) just 2. Parking however can be an issue if you have several cars. A permit is provided for 1 car outside. The rest have to park about a 10 minute walk away in a large council car park. Not sure we'd want leave cars there overnight though. The website says there is parking 2 minutes walk away, if this location does exist we didn't find it. We even asked the young lady who was doing the cleaning when we arrived. She said she had no idea, and that lots of people have asked her the same question!! But overall highly recommended. Would we return. A big yes all round.
Well maintained, well equipped property in a central Ludlow location. It was a pleasure to return to the cottage throughout the week we spent there.
We rented the Maltster's House as a base for a group of friends doing a sponsored walk, and have to say the house is superb and far exceeded our expectations. The quality of the interior is fantastic and spotlessly clean, plus the location is ideal for exploring the picturesque market town of Ludlow.
The Maltster's house was a lovely property in a great situation only 5 minutes walk from Ludlow town centre. The on road parking worked well and we were given plenty of parking permits to use if needed.
The size of the rooms was great and the huge dining table was really useful. The location was perfect and Ludlow itself was a treat.
Fantastic.
The cottage was lovely, spacious, and well fitted out for a group of our size. It was also in a nice location and the town was lovely. The owner was also lovely and helpful and we had an amazing New Years break.
A beautiful house in a great location.
The town house was wonderful and ticked every box for me. Such a beautifully restored property and close to the town, with a Tesco conveniently situated two minutes away. The furniture, beds, bed linen and towels were of a high quality, as were the crockery and cutlery. I would not hesitate to recommend. We all loved it!
The Maltsters house was great. Renovation of property was excellent. Everything was new and clean. We loved Ludlow, and the position of the property was ideal, walking distance to the town.
We fell in love with Ludlow! The house was spacious and ideal for our anniversary celebrations.
Stunning property. Absolutely gorgeous and perfect location for the centre of Ludlow and access via public transport. Would not have any reservations in recommending this property to anyone. We stayed as 3 couples with 2 under 2yr olds - it fitted us perfectly!
