The hotel is perfect and has so much character . Jayne who works at the hotel was the perfect host - she showed us to our room and made our stay really personal. The only negative things I would say is: Cold on the evening Expensive bar Staff in the morning serving breakfast was completly not fussed with us. Breakfast... more

We stayed here overnight as a get-away to celebrate our engagement and had a lovely time. We stayed on a Monday when the restaurant is closed, although it wasn't a problem as we had planned to eat somewhere else. I was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call two days before we were due to arrive to let us know... more

The manager came to meet us as soon as we parked up, then showed us to our room which we loved. We couldn't believe the height of the ceilings, this made it feel very roomy. We settled ourselves in and then asked Ken if he could arrange a taxi for us to go into Ludlow as we were booked in... more

I booked this hotel for a special treat for my husband and I to get away. It looked very nice upon arrival, and Ken the manager was very friendly and came out to greet us. Unfortunately it went downhill from there - the room we were in had a large but broken tv. The bathrobes had not been cleaned as... more

The rooms here - converted from old stone farm buildings - are very stylishly designed, with maximum effect obtained from the bare stone walls & beams. There are drawbacks: such as difficulties with odd angles/inconvenient shapes in the bathrooms, meaning, for instance, that there was no fully enclosed shower in our room - with a subsequent mess of water everywhere.... more

Have stayed here twice in the last month. Both times the food has been excellent - worth asking Ken the manager what he recommends to eat. Very relaxing set-up. We were lucky with the weather so able to sit out in the courtyard for pre-dinner drinks. Beautiful walks in the area - though if you have a dog you need... more

We stayed at Old Downton Lodge on Friday of this weekend- I was a little put off after reading some of the reviews but looked at them after we booked. We were greeted in the car park by a very friendly and helpful manager who showed us to our lovely room with four poster bed and huge bathroom. He then... more

I was recommended this hotel by locals impressed by the Jolly Frog. The food here was fantastic, with great presentation. It was impossible to fault the ingredients or how they were cooked. The food was not that expensive, although the drinks, especially the tonic water, soon mount up. The wine waiter / butler was wonderful, but all the staff were... more
