Our stay was ruined by being unable to sleep because of the heat.
Pros:

Beautiful building and very central. Lovely staff and delicious breakfast.

Cons:

Bedroom unbearably hot. Window only opened 2 inches. Fan pointless. Dirty windows and extractor fan in bathroom covered in fluff.

Decent one night stay.
Pros:

Central location, good food and large comfortable bedroom.

Cons:

Breakfast waiter needs some training / mentoring. He didn't explain how breakfast worked and was off like a shot after showing us to our table, without asking if we wanted a cooked breakfast (which we did).

Handy Historic Hotel
Pros:

Fabulous historic building in the centre of Ludlow

Cons:

Breakfast service slow on both mornings we were there. Mix up with evening meal arrangements - was told on checkin that we didn't need to book only to find that restaurant was full with coach tour. Particularly disappointing as we were celebrating a special occasion. Mitigated somewhat by serving us in a separate room with complimentary fizz

Pros:

Nice hotel, good courtyard and location

Cons:

We visited on the ludlow Castle concert weekend. There were not enough staff on. The bar was very busy and long queues.. however the lady behind bar was doing her best but she needed more support from her colleagues.

Breakfast was awkward with lifting metal lids and trying to serve food onto our plates.

Comfortable stay in a hotel with good facilities and excellent location.
Pros:

Excellent location, enthusiastic staff, generous and comfortable bedroom, good breakfast, real character property.

Cons:

Only complaint - welcome email said there was a car park, but didn't say how to get into it. This was difficult to spot from the street while driving in an unfamiliar town.

We had a very happy stay at The Feathers and we intend to return.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice.
I wish I had noticed that booking breakfast the night before would have given me a reduced price.

Cons:

We liked everything.

Bad
Pros:

My partner and I booked a room to stay here, but on arrival we were told we had booked two rooms. It quickly became clear that this was a mistake caused by the hotel and Booking.com. We were assured that we would not be charged for the second room, as we had neither booked nor used it.
We stayed in the one room we had intended to book, trusting the manager to resolve the issue with the duplicate booking. Unfortunately, that never happened. Despite numerous emails and phone calls—almost all initiated by me, with very little effort from the hotel—the manager refused to issue a refund. Booking.com advised that the hotel needed to process the refund because they had incorrectly marked us as a "no-show" for the second room. Even though we provided proof that we had never booked or occupied that room, the hotel still refused to refund us.
To make matters worse, the manager was extremely unprofessional, openly criticising Booking.com and telling us they were "useless" and made these mistakes all the time. Regardless of where the error originated, the hotel failed to take responsibility or help resolve the situation.
The room we did stay in also had a missing window pane, yet we were never offered an alternative room.
Overall, I am now £117 out of pocket because of a booking error that was not my fault. There was no apology, no accountability, and no satisfactory resolution. I would not recommend staying here based on this experience.

Love the hotel and location, very disappointed with room
Pros:

Location excellent, quaint, lovely features in hotel.

Cons:

Disappointed with the room for the price we paid. Very expensive rate for such a small room, very poor value for money. Well below the standard we expected.
