Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a lovely terrace with step-free access and fantastic views. The rooms are comfortable, some with great balconies and hot tubs. The staff provides good customer service and a welcome drink. The location is stunning within easy walking distance to the town center. The dining experience with fabulous views is delightful. Facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay with value for money.
A hotel with superb river views, a hot tub on the terrace, and exceptional service despite overlooking a busy road. The on-site dining offers stunning river views but lacks variety in some dishes. The location is ideal for exploring Ludlow, though proximity to traffic lights can be a drawback.
The hotel offers a fabulous view of the traffic lights and a big comfy bed but is situated near a road junction with traffic lights. The service was top-notch despite their efforts to support good food and a welcome drink. The location is right by the river with a short walk into the old town but may be affected by traffic noise. The dining experience comes with stunning views but might lack variety. The facilities are well equipped but may need updates in some areas.
