Fantastic stay, lovely grounds and amazing rooms.
Pros:

The rooms were amazing, SO much room. The bathroom was also very roomy. I had some issues with Booking.com in regards to a card not working, however the hotel were happy to contact me personally via email to sort out the issue. They were very polite and speedy at doing so too.
The room was priced a little more than normal due to the events at Ludlow Castle, but we were able to get a short bus ride in to the centre and a taxi back. We had food the next morning in the farm shop and that was lovely. We could also walk around the grounds and have a nose in the shops as it was lovely weather. Overall fantastic stay and we WILL be back.

Cons:

Strange really short toilet. My other half is 6"4 and it was almost like him sitting on the floor, however this is our only complaint, which is a scrape in the barrel! Lovely place
