Green Dragon LUDLOW

The breakfast that Paul cooked every morning for me was superb. Just what I needed to start the day. The location of the Green Dragon is excellent and just a short walk from the centre of Ludlow, and only ten minutes from the railway station. The bus stop for Kidderminster is only five minutes away. I was made most welcome by Paul as soon as I walked through the gate. He is an excellent host with his knowledge of the town and his brilliant sense of humor. We also hit it off with shared interests. The room is excellent with a very comfortable bed and the shower, unlike some places I have stayed, didn't require a degree in plumbing or electronics to make it work. If you happen to be staying when Paul hosts one of his charity cheese parties, you are in for a great night with his many friends who were all so pleasant to me. Paul was very accommodating to my needs, especially when I wanted to make an early start and I can't recommend The Green Dragon high enough, and will definitely be back

Nothing.

The place was quirky (it’s an old house). The room itself was large and clean with a big bed and large bathroom

Parking can be a pain as daytime is max two hours parking. But we arrived late enough to park at the school

"It's B&B Jim, but not we we know it" is how Paul the owner describes his home. He only has one room to let so you're guaranteed his personal attention. If you ask for a cooked breakfast you'll make his day as it means he gets to have one as well - and excellent it was too! If you decide to go do yourself a favour and learn about the history and eastern origins of the swastika before you step into his kitchen - you'll save yourself a bit of bother that way and avoid jumping to an entirely false conclusion! Ludlow itself was described by Sir John Betjeman as "..probably the loveliest town in England with its hill of Georgian houses ascending from the river Teme to the great tower of the cross-shaped church, rising behind a classic market building." I disagree only in one respect - in my mind there is no "probably" about it. If, like me, you're visiting to attend the outstandingly good annual Ludlow Piano Festival in late May then you're in for a treat - and Paul's home is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. If you should have time on your hands Paul has a delightful lounge you're free to relax in. Some will love his home and approach to hospitality, some will not. For me it was a life-enriching experience and I plan to return next year.

A little more attention to cleaning the bedroom and en-suite bathroom wouldn't go amiss, though I've seen far worse.

Well placed centrally in the lovely town of Ludlow. Old rambling house, very quaint and individualistic decor, (wonderful antique clocks). Comfortable room, excellent bed. Paul prepared a good light breakfast, and chatted both mornings; lots of interesting topics and anecdotes! He was helpful, suggesting places to go, walks etc.

The parking was up and down, space available on the road overnight, but necessary to move the car in the day, although Paul was helpful again with info on a cheap car park nearby.
