We stayed for one night at the end of January for my husbands birthday. I had never visited Ludlow before now even though we live not too many miles away, i must say that we were not in anyway disappointed. Ludlow is absolutely beautiful and i believe we probably picked one of the best accomodations available. Rosemary and Jonathan are... More

We stayed one cold January night. It has a convenient and very quiet riverside location at the bottom of town. During the week one would have to pay for street parking or walk to a long-stay car park. From the welcoming tea in the cosy lounge to the generous breakfast spread, we enjoyed a memorable and luxurious experience in a... More

We spent one night at The Merchant House. It’s a beautiful, character-filled and charming house. Rosemary and Jonathan were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was simply delicious and we really appreciated all the local produce that Rosemary used.

A really warm welcome on a snowy night; very comfortable and beautifully appointed bedrooms; help over parking; a simply delicious "English" breakfast; Rosemary and Jonathan's house and their interesting but unintrusive conversation provided hospitality at its very best. This was not our first visit to Ludlow, but now where were would always wish to stay if possible.

We had a very pleasant stay with Rosemary and Jonathan who made us feel very comfortable in their home. Smashing breakfast with a variety of tasty local produce available to keep us going for the day. Nothing was too much trouble for Rosemary who made sure that we were well fed to explore the local area. Merchant House is well... More

We stayed at this fantastic B&B over the Jubilee weekend and had a great time. Rosemary and her Husband were amazing hosts who really looked after us. The breakfast that we had each morning was fantastic using all local products, which we really enjoyed. The location is great as it's really close to Ludlow centre and free parking is available....

Rosemary was a great host and nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and in fact was more like a suite than a room, so great value for money, given its ideal location close to the centre of town and great restaurants like La Becasse. The house was delightful, full of interesting items and numerous nooks and crannies.... More

Good location close to the centre of the old part of town, a very pleasant 5 minute walk to the farmers' market, Mr Underhill's, La Becasse and so much more. the room was very big, with new bathroom and some of the fluffiest towels I've ever used. The breakfast... More

This is a charming house which oozes character and Rosemary is a warm and knowledgeable host. Rosemary took into account our dietary needs and all the breakfasts were great. The rooms and beds are very comfortable and the water pressure in the showers is fine. (I don't like wimpy showers!) One of the best things is the location as it's... More
