  Abbots Bromley is a charming and prize winningly well kept village famous also for the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers whose horns are on display in the local church.

  The property is located very centrally in the village overlooking the Butter Cross medieval hexagonal pagoda and the nearby Goats Head and Crown public houses. Access to the first floor flat is through a shared front door and up a relatively steep flight of steps. The accommodation comprises a sitting area with TV and wifi a kitchen/diner and a fairly cosy double bedroom with ensuite shower room. The flat was clean and well provided for, including oven stove microwave dishwasher but not a washing machine and sufficient cooking utensils and tableware for 2. Ventilation in the shower room could have been improved by the ability to open the velux window in the roof but this is too high to do without a stick on a hook but it was adequate to keep down condensation if we opened the bedroom and kitchen windows for blow through. The water was impressively scaldingly hot throughout our stay. One thing could have improved our stay. A folder or leaflet of information about local businesses services and recreational opportunities. A guest book would also have been nice to find out about what other people found interesting during their stay. We spent several days visiting the lovely local National Trust properties having purchased membership, and several more days walking various routes in the Peak District although to get to some of these places we had to drive for more than an hour to the start. Abbots Bromley is more accurately adjacent to the Peak District and Dales than in it.

  Nice, clean and comfortable cottage.

  I knew in advance that the cottage didn't have wifi or TV so no issue here. I took some DVDs to watch movies in the evenings. What I didn't expect was the practically lack of signal inside the cottage. I went to visit my daughter who lives in Ludlow and was planning to work from the cottage during the day using the hot spot on my mobile phone. It was impossible to connect which was very frustrating. I had to spend my whole stay working from coffee shops in Ludlow which was far from ideal and also added an unnecessary additional cost to my bill. Unless WIFI is installed I won't stay at 138D Old Star and Garter Mews again. I am sure the owner is losing business as a result. Apart from this, the cottage is cute, comfortable and has a great location (just 2min walk from Tesco which is useful for shopping)

  We stayed a week here and had a lovely time.

  The Shepherds Hut is so comfortable and cosy, with everything you could want. A well supplied kitchen with full sized appliances, a fantastic shower, comfy sofa and bed, plenty of space for 2 people without feeling crowded at all. There was a lovely starter pack of food and fizz from Wendy, who made us feel very welcome but also let us get on with our break. It was lovely to relax in our own private space in the evening. We chose Mucklewick Hollow because we wanted to explore the Marches on both sides of the border and it us a fantastic location for that, really well placed for all the Marcher towns and even a day on the coast! It would be a very lucky and happy Shepherd who would live in a hut like this, the best we have stayed in, and we really recommend this gem!

  New Year’s stay for a week.

  Cosy cottage fine for 2, location good but need to be able to walk up hills into town. Backs onto river lovely to sit in conservatory and watch the water gushing by. Small issue with heating but sorted straight away. Sofa could have been better. Town lovely, visited lots of local pubs all good just different so pick your favourite. A few eateries were closed for holidays after Xmas. Visited local English Heritage,NT properties and Ludlow castle all worth a visit. Watch otters and kingfishers whilst on a riverside walk. The flowers, treats, Xmas decorations and bubbly were a nice surprise. Basics were also available washing up liquid, tea towel, tea bags, milk and hairdryer.

  Ham's House is a beautiful place to relax and unwind.

  The communication with the host was great and they were very accommodating. Ham's House was beautifully decorated, very cosy, clean and in a wonderful setting. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed several walks from the property in the beautiful countryside. Inside the property were lots of walking pamphlets which we found very useful. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely with lots of hot water. We would recommend the Live and let live pub where we had a fabulous homemade meal. We walked there which was a few miles through lovely scenery. We would definitely come back again and recommend to others.
