We had a lovely weekend in October.The house was just as described.. kitchen had everything needed ..really well equipped, the lounge diner was very spacious..TV could have been a bit bigger but it was fine.Both bedrooms were very nice and the main bathroom was very big..all tastefully decorated !.Due to the weather we didn't get to use the lovely garden .Fiona was very quick to answer any questions and the wine and chocs were a lovely touch.Just remember to read the information properly as there are quite a few stairs and the diner to kitchen ones are open at the top but we used this quirky detail to our advantage..being able to pass thing up without having to carry all the way .

We enjoyed our holiday at The Haven. It is an old building that has been restored to a high standard. Quiet location, with a nice garden. Good location, only a short walk to Ludlow town centre. Points to note: The stairs are steep, so not appropriate if you have mobility issues. The parking is on a nearby street, close, but not directly outside the property.
