  So Glad we found Harris House, Ludlow.

  Wanted to take my 83 year old father away for a relaxing week as he had been poorly. Luckily we picked the Early May Bank holiday that was the hottest on Record. Our family has never rented a holiday home before so we really did not know what to expect. I am now afraid, because our expectations were exceeded, Harris House has now set the Gold standard bar for future holiday lets in other destinations. In fact – we may not go elsewhere and carry on going to Ludlow every year because this house had everything and our time spent there was lovely and relaxing. The owners sent a lovely email a few weeks before our due date (05.05.18 - 12.05.18), and from the tone of that you could tell that nothing was a problem – just to contact them had you any concerns. I want to repeat everything everyone has complimented and mentioned on the sykes cottage website, i.e Spotless, quiet location, stones throw away from Ludlow town, handy to A49 to reach other desitnations, household kit / appliances to very good standard, everything to hand, everything thought of. It also felt actually felt very homely and very peaceful. You did not feel out of place or scared to move. My father has difficulties with his mobility - but this house was perfect for anyone with these issues as everything was spaced out and it was not cluttered, so nothing to bang into and the stairs had a solid banister to help him. The shower was a power shower – so that made me very happy, and the view when doing the dishes out the window – money could not buy. Even doing dishes made me happy that week. It truly is a great place to stay.

  Wow, what a fantastic cottage this is.

  The cottage is extremley well appointed, with very modern kitchen and bathrooms. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the facilities required are all covered. Annie was brilliant with communication, from letting us know we could enter the cottage earlier on arrival day to helping us with recycling arrangements, to feedback when we left the cottage. The cottage is perfectly placed in Much Wenlock for access to everything that Shropshire and Much Wenlock have to offer and believe me, it has tons to offer in things to see and do. If you are looking for a top quality cottage to use as a base for your visit to Shropshire, then look no further. With all this cottage has to offer and with the helpfullness of Annie you cannot fail to have a great time and be able to do it living in complete comfort. We have visited Shropshire many times over the years, but without a doubt, this cottage was the best.

  This house is a really lovely place to go on holiday.

  It had everything you would need and was extremely spacious and comfortable and very well equipped. The garden was fantastic, I met the gardener and had a nice chat with him about the plants. It's a great place to sit out in on a sunny day and even has some herbs you can use for cooking. We would definitely recommend Harris House to anyone wanting to visit Ludlow. The local area is great, it has got castles, a market, museums and good walks, as well as all the local amenities and a market and good restaurants. We went to Hay on Wye for the day which was absolutely wonderful for people who love books. Also my partner found a great vinyl shop in Ludlow that he says is worth visiting if that is your thing. Overall we would recommend this holiday cottage without hesitation, as well as the area. It would suit families with younger children and older family groups as well.

  We had a great week and this is our fourth visit to Harris House.

  The hosts are always prompt to respond to any matter raised and are extremely well organised when it comes to arranging arrival details etc. The house is in a very central area and very quiet. I do feel that the kitchen can be improved by the addition of a slow cooker, air fryer/ steamer and mini food processor. Ludlow is famous for food and with increasing costs this would help families with their budget on holiday. Also, as the house can take six guests a four slice toaster would be a good idea too. A vacuum cleaner would be a good idea as well. I would certainly encourage a visit to Harris House. The views are fantastic. The heating system is both efficient and easy to use. There are always plenty of towels and tea towels available for use and loads of crockery. There are also a number of house keys and window keys . Book early. Many of us come back!

  A lovely, bright & spacious house with comfortable beds and good shower.

  10-15 min walk to Ludlow town centre. Excellent communication with the owner and very helpful information & recommendations thoughtfully provided in the Info book at the house. Well equipped kitchen and good facilities. The only things we missed/couldn't locate was a clothes airer (raining so couldn't use outdoor line and didn't want to tumble dry certain items) and a cafetiere (ground coffee we had wasn't suitable for the percolator). The TV reception wasn't great - Freeview/Freesat didn't work at all on either TV, regardless of the weather, and the Sky box had limited channels that scrambled quite a few times. Would suggest packing a Chromecast or similar to stream off your phone instead as the WiFi was very good. These are all nitpicks though, we would very happily stay again!
