"Everything ok , I enjoy the stay"

Stokesay inn and b and b

8/10 Good

"Lovely old pub off the main road. Staff are helpful, they serve a good pint and the breakfast was first rate. Negative points - the mattress on the king-size bed is too soft and no brewed coffee in the morning. I would stay there again."

The Lion

10/10 Excellent

"All excellent. Delay in finding parking space on Saturday evening, but that’s all I can say - found one later in the evening, if you’re concerned! Staff, food and drinks all great."

The Feathers Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful building in a perfect location for enjoying the gorgeous picturesque town of Ludlow. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and if you don’t mind a little bit of uneven flooring in an ancient building this is a great place to stay."

Talbot Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cosy clean and comfortable rooms in a very characterful old building, friendly staff and excellent breakfast!"

The Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at the Castle Hotel a number of times, it never disappoints."

England's Gate and Coachhouse

8/10 Good

"Our room was beamed and the superking sized bed was comfortable. There was a very thick duvet - a bit too hot for the weather - but an excellent fan was already in the room. Evening meal was good and a nice atmosphere in the bar and dining area. The waiter Connor was very attentive. Gluten free options are available but double check when ordering just to be sure!! Breakfast was self serve in a rustic kitchen . No GF options . All in all , a good one night stopover and a good price. Would go again."
