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.
Reviews
Stayed here recently and had the most wonderful time. The setting is perfect with glorious views and the fabulous town of Ludlow close by. The hosts were very helpful and friendly indeed and made our stay most enjoyable. The Coach House is beautiful and cosy - my only slight issue was the shower over the bath being hand held but as this was clearly stated on the website I had no complaints. Will definitely be returning soon!
Arrived to a very friendly welcome and homemade coffee cake waiting for us in the kitchen! Gorgeous cottage and perfect for dogs as the garden is enclosed and a great sun trap The owners were so friendly and welcoming and gave us tips on where to go and what to do in the area. Perfect spot for anyone taking their dog as there are plenty of walks and dog friendly places to eat and drink. We will definitely stay here again in the future when we visit Ludlow. With its own log burner and cosy cottage feel, it would be perfect for a winter getaway. The only downside about this long weekend break was that it wasn’t long enough and we wished we could have stayed longer!
Booked for a short notice family week away in Shropshire, I can thoroughly recommend the Coach House. Very comfortable to stay, excellently hosted. Well equipped. We had a really comfortable week away, there is bucket loads to see in the local area or failing that beautiful walks literally on the door step. Accommodation is of a very high standard.
We recently returned from a perfect new year away at the Coach House. The location is very quiet with beautiful scenery perfect for walks in the surrounding countryside. The building is annexed from the owners property which we found convenient when we checked in and had questions. The owners are very friendly and relaxed, with great communication prior to arrival. The cottage itself is very pretty and well equipped, the photos are an accurate representation. We were a party of 2 however there is sufficient space for 4 comfortably. Generally there is plenty of space however the bath is fairly small and there is no shower, however given the space constraints in the bathroom there is no real way to improve on this. In any case it was certainly no major problem. We would definitely stay here again and would thoroughly recommend.
Beautiful dog friendly cottage. Owners are extremely helpful and very approachable. The cottage is well furnished and very comfortable. The area around Ludlow is beautiful and Ludlow is a vibrant market town. The owners have a dog of their own who is also very friendly and loved playing with our dog. We are hoping to return next summer.
