Good proximity to the town for restaurants/cafes/ pubs and general exploring. We liked the layout of the accommodation and it's garden setting. Nice welcome treats, greatly appreciated 👍
There was nothing to criticise or whinge about.

Fabulous location with great views and only a short walk to the town. Spotlessly clean with everything provided for a comfortable stay. Easy off road parking at the location. The owners are lovely people and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend.

A bright, fresh & clean apartment in a tranquil setting. A delightful mix of quirky and modern. Fully equipped with every you need.
Close proximity to the centre of vibrant, bustling Ludlow- approximately a 12 walk.
Warm and friendly owners on hand to offer recommendations etc.
We'd definitely return.
No negatives.

Great location - just 15 minutes away from the centre of Ludlow. Accommodation was good, well equipped and relatively comfortable.
The property needs some TLC..
Specifically
the kitchen tap is loose and drips constantly
the toilet cistern drips constantly (into the toilet)
there's a kick plate under the fridge that has fallen off
the garden needs serious pruning around the deck area
the shower controls don't work correctly
It wasn't particularly clean when we arrived with vegetable debris in the fridge and sink, stale water in the kettle, etc.
Locking and unlocking the door is a dark art and requires considerable effort
We arrived on a very hot day and there is no fan and the hook to open the skylights is broken.
Although these are small issues, taken together they did take the edge off our stay.
I texted the contact number to highlight these issues, but got no reply.. disappointed by this; it seemed quite rude.
Some of the information in the property about the facilities is out of date.

Excellent location only a short walk from the centre of Ludlow. Was a very nice and comfortable apartment with everything we needed for what was a lovely stay.
Nothing to complain about for us

Lovely views , comfy bed . Needs some attention on a few things . Few cobwebs and slight smell in the bathroom .
Shower riser not secure , kitchen tap the same
Outside area needs attention.
Tight squeeze for parking if Kennet house occupied.
Could be outstanding … but …

Kitchen tap dripping!

Heating on when arrived. Wine, milk, fruit and shortcake were all welcome treats. Lovely interior. good shower.
4.0 / 10.0
Location and off road parking.
It's not cleaned sufficiently between stays, felt like it could do with more attention. No robes and slippers as advertised. The garden furniture has been left out in all weather and cushions were too filthy to sit on. You have to have the blinds down in bathroom and bedroom as guests in the main house were looking in at us. Felt like being in a gold fish bowl. Dining chair cushions were stained. Damp in the corner of the bedroom. No real storage or work space to speak of in the bedroom. The wardrobe is a wooden pole over an exit door. The pictures make this place look magical but I think that the owners have let it lose its sparkle.

Location and parking.
Did not provide tea bags or coffee, but did provide milk. Automatic lighting in bathroom would come on randomly at night along with underfloor heating making rooms too warm. Apart from some liquid soap for hand basin no amenities in the shower.

The damp smell throughout and the lack of cleanliness.No teatowels!oven and oven glove dirty.Kitchen sink not clean,lots of cobwebs and dust,bed linen didnt smell fresh,crunchy towels,top of toilet not clean.,damp on blind.It really could be a great place if more attention was paid to detail,such a pity.We are going to be frequent visitors to Ludlow but sadly not sure we’d book this again :(

5.0 / 10.0
Location was ideal for walking to Ludlow and for driving to local attractions, towns villages etc.
Cleanliness was poor. Had difficulty opening and closing front and patio doors, I put some oil on them, told Laura needed attention. Outside light not working. Fridge hadn’t been cleaned, food from previous tenants left behind, milk out of date, water bottle half full. Cleaner came at 17.30 cleaned fridge, and gave me a bar of chocolate as an apology. Bathroom had no shower gel or shampoo, cleaner brought shower gel. Kitchen , why no cleaning cloths? Nothing to wipe down, no cling film or foil to wrap food in. Oven trays greasy and dirty. Outside chairs food debris around seats. Bedroom fine, couple more hangers would have been nice. In the morning, shower was fine except water didn’t drain away…on looking at the plug and removing it I’m not surprised……full of hair, dirt even an old plaster, disgusting. I cleaned it out before my wife used the shower, not much cleaning utensils available. Hand basin plug, same situation, very poor. Would be nice to have extra hanging for towels etc. cleaning around bathroom poor, skirtings, by and behind toilet. I took photos of all of these problems and sent them to Laura, who was really shocked and apologized. Says something went wrong with the cleaning this time, sorry, these issues had been there for a long time. Guest info card needs updating, Wi-Fi log in wrong, clearly states shampoo and cleanser are available and topped up before each visit, not true. Outside the garden could be fantastic but it’s a jungle, lots of pots with dead plants, not inviting. On the website it says owners are there, there are chickens and dogs around, all very friendly, again, not true. We gather they’re in Dubai. Fine, but update information please. It could be so, so much better, for us it wasn’t a great experience. Comfortable and quiet, yes, but the cleaning and lack of attention to details let The Folly down really badly. Such a shame. I’m in no way a professional moaner, I speak as I find, and the above issues speak for themselves.

The size of the property was ideal and we really liked the outdoor space. The bed was uber comfortable and we slept really well.
The sofa. It was too small and really uncomfortable. The seating padding is higher on the outside which makes you roll into the middle. A slightly bigger one with better seat padding and posture would make the accommodation perfect.

Peaceful despite having a railway line at the end of the garden. (The trains weren't frequent). Loved listening to the church bells on Sunday morning sitting one of the swinging basket chairs on the decking. Compact but with everything you needed.
We had a problem with internet initially but the owners got back to us quickly and the problem was soon resolved.

The building was a good size for two people. The seating in the lounge area wasn't very comfortable but the bed was.
