Ashford Farm Cottages, Ashford Farm, Ashford Carbonell, Ludlow, Shropshire, SY8 4DB

This cottage is set in a truly wonderful location, surrounded by fields. The cottage is very well equipped and extremely comfortable. It is dog friendly and allows dogs in the downstairs rooms, but yet still remains beautifully clean and fresh. The owners are happy for you to walk in their fields (livestock permitting) and this was a true bonus for us! The owners are very helpful, not intrusive but always on hand to assist with any queries. We have been coming to Shropshire for nearly 30 years and this is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. We only stayed one week and wish we could stay longer to fully appreciate the cottage. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this cottage.

Reading earlier reviews it’s difficult to add much more information. The picture one gets from those reviews paints an accurate picture of an excellent holiday cottage.

Well Meadow is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a beautiful quiet location yet very convenient for Ludlow and the surrounding area. There are some lovely local walks including a stroll down a private lane into the noticeably friendly village of Ashford Carbonell. The owners, Norman and Lynda, were welcoming and helpful without being at all intrusive.

Sainsbury’s is 5 minutes away along the A49. We didn’t use the Ludlow Park & Ride as it proved to be an easy 10 minute drive into Ludlow over the Ludford Bridge to a nicely central car park … 40p / hour.

Ludlow is an attractive town with a fascinating history as is Shrewsbury with many independent shops. There’s a good charity bookshop tucked in the corner at the roundabout in Craven Arms which is worth supporting.”

What a beautiful cottage in such an attractive area! We stayed in The Old Bull Pen and - despite the owners having to remove some of the soft furnishings due to Covid restrictions- the cottage was immaculate and so comfortable. We picked the hottest week to stay there and had to change a few plans during the day as a consequence but we managed some lovely days out.

We recommend Ludlow - market in the square Monday,Wednesday and Friday and some lovely cafes and eateries!

The Bread Walk around Ludlow, along the river and circling the castle is beautiful too.

Lots of pubs around with great food and as we are all vegetarian they had lots of choice for us!

We will definitely be back as lots more to explore.

Many thanks Norman and Lynda - we had a wonderful week!

Well meadow is a most beautiful property, standing alone amidst open countryside without any noise except for the bleating of sheep, birdsong and the occasional crowing from a distant cockerel. The owners Lynda and Norman could not have been more welcoming and were lovely to chat to during the week. Due to the very hot weather we curtailed plans to visit places by car and instead immersed ourselves in the local area, walking the owners extensive fields and into the ‘chocolate box’ village from where there are abundant walks in all directions. We spent hours outside of the cottage watching an array of wildlife, garden birds, buzzards, a visiting owl, squirrels and 2 weasels who popped by occasionally! Our best tip would be to take bird food with you to put out and you will be well rewarded. One of our favourite places, we only got home yesterday and are already talking about when we can return!

Usual warm welcome and cottage still excellent if a little less familiar, with restricted tourist info and extras - as per government regulations. Weather wonderful, a little chilly but great for long walks and managed to sit in the courtyard for drinks most days. So pleased to enjoy a few days a little further from home in such a pleasant location. Many thanks to Norman and Lynda.

Over the last 40 years we have rented many self catering properties and Well Meadow has to be one of the very best we have ever stayed in. It is comfortable, well equipped with quality furniture, fixtures & fittings and, for the out of season break, warm. A lovely peaceful private, but not remote, location with lots of walks from the doorstep. The hosts Norman and Lynda (and Ruby) are very helpful and welcoming. Perfect for a relaxing (lazy) holiday but there are also plenty of activities, attractions and places of interest nearby for the more energetic. This was our second stay here and we will definitely be returning.

Fantastic cottage in beautiful village. Well equipped, good welcome pack and excellent accommodation. Owners living nearby a bonus. Would recommend highly for a relaxing break. Lots of walking around, Ludlow lovely plus many great things to visit in local area.

Excellent cottage, the attention to detail is what struck me the most.

We stayed at Well Meadow for a lovely relaxing week waking only to the sound of sheep and birds. Norman and Lynda were exceptionally helpful and their recommendations for local walks and places to eat were great. The village is very peaceful and has no through traffic and had eggs and fresh local soft fruit available with honesty box payments. No shops in village, but a Co-op available 5 minutes away by car. A really delightful home from home.

This was our second stay at Ashford Farm Cottages. Well Meadow is a beautiful conversion with amazing views to Clee Hill. Washing up was a pleasure! The cottage was spotlessly clean and well presented and equipped with everything needed for the holiday. There are many lovely country walks from the door and plenty of interesting towns and villages within a short drive. We would definately book again and 100% recommend a stay at Ashford Farm Cottages. Norman and Linda certainly deserve their 4 star Gold status.

We have been renting holiday cottages for many years and the Ashford cottage there in Shropshire must be one of the best. We ran a holiday cottage for 14years and appreciate the work involved in order to make sure everything is in tip-top condition and clean. Our Ashford cottage was no exception. all rooms were with their own on suite. The quiet and private situation was restful and perfect.

What a wonderful week we had at The Old Bull Pen. The cottage was extremely comfortable, very well equipped, in a beautiful setting and the standard set an extremely high bar of what to look for in the future. The welcome hamper and cake were an added bonus. It is a charming cottage in a very friendly village with wonderful places to visit not far away. Thank you.

We've just come home from a really wonderful long weekend at Threshers Cottage and none of us wanted to leave! We arrived to find a tray of teacups all laid out waiting for us, along with a delicious cake and a hamper of goodies which was a lovely welcome after a long journey in the car. Norman and Lynda are lovely warm hosts and kindly showed us around the cottage, clearly explained how everything worked and recommended some of their favourite local spots for good walks and meals out. Threshers Cottage is warm, cosy and immacuately clean with modern bathrooms (complete with lovely toiletries) and a very well equipped kitchen. The bright conservatory overlooks the stunning garden and we spent many hours relaxing in the comfy conservatory chairs or out on the patio, with a pot of tea, simply enjoying the peace and tranquility. Ashford Carbonel is the quinessential chocolate box village and the villagers are very warm and friendly, happy to chat and invite you to local village events. We'd recommend taking a wander across the farm to visit the horses and sheep which are very friendly and happy to meet visitors! We'd also recommend taking a walk down to the little beach in the village. It's on the river Teme and is an idyllic spot. Nearby Ludlow is a gorgeous town and we loved having a wander around the market and a spot of lunch out on the terrace at Ludlow Castle tearooms. We'd also recommend the small breeds farm park and owl centre in Kington which is a fabulous day out, both for children and grown up animal lovers alike! All in all, we were so pleased we chose to stay at Threshers Cottage and would highly recommend it to all. We hope to visit again soon!

We had a wonderful time at this cottage, which was located in a beautiful village but conveniently close to Ludlow. The cottage was perfect for our family, charming, fully equipped with everything we needed and very clean. The owners were friendly and helpful but gave us space and privacy to get on with it. I would thoroughly recommend it for both young families and those with mobility issues (we had my mum with us who appreciated being on one floor and the wide doors. Thoroughly recommended.

Had a fabulous time in the very comfortable Threshers cottage. Extremely well presented. Lots of space and plenty of kitchen equipment. The children loved the badminton raquets and we all enjoyed the board games in the evening.

The tennis court and playing field down the road were great facilities as was Teme Beach on the river for the younger members. We had grand weather and enjoyed food, cycling and walking.

This was our second visit to Well Meadow and was as good as the first. Despite the variable weather including sleet and snow, this is a very cosy and comfortable cottage to hunker down in!

We would heartily endorse all the comments in the other reviews below. There are some lovely National Trust properties within easy driving distance, we particularly enjoyed Attingham Park.

The lambs in the field were a constant source of entertainment.

This is a special place for a restful break. We will definitely return.

We spent a fabulous Christmas week at Wellpond Cottage, the cottage is in the perfect setting surrounded by farmland with a fabulous view of Clee Hill. The cottage is warm and cosy, and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, cooked a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, found everything we needed. The cottage is dog friendly with a fully enclosed garden, a huge benefit, and some great walks from the door step. The cottage is perfect spot for a quiet, relaxed break with Ludlow very close by. Worth listening out for the owls hooting at night, magical!

This was our second visit to Threshers cottage and what can I say? Once again the from the moment we booked our holiday to our arrival back home we were treated like old friends. We received the warmest of welcomes, the basket of local produce was such a lovely treat. There was a tea and coffee supplies including milk and a cake! The cottage is very well equipped with all that we needed for our stay with board games and books to ensure you are never bored.

There is plenty to do locally and the Tudges have helpfully compiled a list of the information on where to find the places you may need. The children love visiting as much as we do! They have also made the cottage very dog friendly with, balls, bowls, blankets etc provided for our canine companion. The open fire with what feels like an endless supply of wood is just perfect for our winter visits.

It's such a pleasure to stay there and we will definitely be returning just as soon as we can. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay!

The Old Bull Pen was a lovely cottage, close to the very helpful owner’s farmhouse. Everything you could wish for in beautiful surroundings, with lots of lovely walks close by. Together with our daughter and granddaughters plus dog we all enjoyed a special week here.

We stayed in Threshers cottage for a week in September and it was exceptional in every way. Lovely local welcome goodies and plenty of tea/coffee etc to make a drink on arrival. The location was extremely peaceful and we all enjoyed many walks locally, leaving the car behind many days. All of us found the cottage extremely spacious and well equipped. We have no hesitation in recommending the cottage to family and friends who would like to visit the area.

On first arrival at The Old Bull Pen, we were delighted. A lovely hamper was waiting for us with a homemade lemon cake - delicious. The traditional cottage was more than well equipped, clean and comfortable, a home from home. It was very private, but not far from the owners property and other cottages on the site. Each bedroom has it's own en-suite bathroom. There was a gas BBQ and table/chairs for 6 at both the rear and front of the property. The lawn area is small but the driveway was large enough for us to set up our badminton net to keep the children happy! Ludlow is only 3 miles away, a beautiful town with lovely walks, shopping and restaurants. Norman is a wonderful host and was on hand with questions and a replacement gas canister when the BBQ ran out halfway through cooking! Would definitely recommend staying here, pity we couldn't experience the log wood-burner, but it was far too hot! Thank you for a lovely stay - The McLaren family (including Mavis the dog)

Second time visiting this lovely cottage. Rarely have we returned to accommodation a second time but this cottage is above and beyond. In a beautiful village with lots to offer in terms of walks and friendly local people, the cottage itself is set back from the main village, surrounded by sheep fields and the odd cow. The cottage is well equipped, providing us with beautifully comfortable beds and a lovely welcome hamper. Plenty to do in the surrounding area and our dogs also love coming here. Norman and Lynda could not be more welcoming or accommodating if they tried. Thank you again for a lovely stay. We are already planning our next visit. Rebecka and Tom

If it's peaceful seclusion that you crave then Well Meadow is perfect, yet it is a short drive from the delightful town of Ludlow. Small wonder visitors return to it year after year - we do!

We stayed in The Bull Pen. This is our sixth visit and the reasons we keep coming back are as follows. First we have a lively dog and she is made welcome, the farm provides local walking and the cottage is practical for dogs - nice easy to clean floor in the diner/kitchen. The owners Norman and Lynda are alwasy welcoming and obliging. We love the area with so much history to explore. The bedrooms are all en suite and the master bedroom is separated from the others, making it private and quiet.

We stayed in Threshers Cottage which is conveniently located in the pretty village of Ashford Carbonel. The cottage is in excellent order and very well equipped, we felt at home from the time we arrived. The private garden is perfect and we sat out in the early evening enjoying the peace and seclusion. Lots of walks nearby and we enjoyed visiting Church Stretton and the panorama of the drive along the Long Mynd.

The welcome hamper and advice from Norman on arrival was very much appreciated.

We stayed in this cottage in June. Well presented, welcome hamper appreciated. Both Norman and Lynda were very welcoming.

The property had all that we needed and the towels were really good, not like some places old and thin.

Modern TV and comfortable seating throughout. Garden was totally private. Parking was good.

The Bull Pen is a delightful property. It is all on one level with three bedrooms all with ensuite facilities. We could not fault it. If you are a dog owner then everything is in place for your visit. It is clean and well equipped indeed everything you could wish for. There are two outdoor tables each with six chairs which were well used by our group as we were blessed with fantastic weather. The Bull Pen is situated in a beautiful spot with lots of trees and open fields nearby. The owners are very helpful and left us a super cake and hamper on arrival. Ludlow is not far away and there are lots of restaurants and pubs.

A short winter break in Threshers. The cottage was immaculate, comfortable, well equipped and warm. There was also a surprise welcome hamper of the basics on arrival. The garden has a large lawned area and is fully fenced and so secure for dogs. A lovely part of the world, not unknown to us but we still found plenty to do. Will certainly return.

We spent a fabulous Monday to Friday here, with the children, the grandparents and our dogs! The Old Bull Pen was perfect for a family of 6 (plus 2 dogs!).The cottage is very well laid out, very clean and has everything that you can possibly need. We were able to get some much needed R and R in, cosy evenings with the roaring fire, alongside some lovely country walks and meals out in Ludlow.

We have previously visited as a family of four and stayed at Well Meadow, which was also very lovely and comes highly recommended by us.

We look forward to a return visit!

Excellent property. Stayed with our Son and his family over the February half term. Three very good sized bedrooms all with lovely en suite facilities. Very cosy and warm especially when the log burner is on. Location is great for walks and a short drive from Ludlow and surrounding area. Would definitely like to return

We had a lovely time at the cottage and our hosts were so nice and accommodating. We didn’t get to see much of the area as it was the weekend of the heavy snow storms, possibly the worst for many years, so Sunday we stayed inside. However we did get to enjoy the beautiful views across the fields and the view of the cottage surrounded by snow, it was like a scene from the film, The Holiday. We will try to come back in the summertime so we can enjoy the area

We stayed in Threshers Cottage which was delightful, A very well equipped, comfortable, exceptionally clean 3 bed cottage, which had a fully enclosed garden for our dog, the cottage also had a conservatory, kitchen diner and separate utility room all with tiled floors. Outside there is a hose so you can easily clean your dogs paws after a lovely walks in the area and around the pretty village of Ashford Carbonell. Norman is a lovely man, who I exchanged several emails with before our visit, and couldn't have been more helpful when we finally met. I would have no hesitation recommending Ashford Farm Cottages to anyone. The situation near Ludlow is perfect too just 3 to 4 miles away.

Well meadow cottage

Had a great time lovely cottage warm and very comfortable beds and furniture

Welcome was great and Norman gives useful information on local walks etc

Recommended

Cake on arrival very tasty

Very nice location with a garden that we were able to relax in and let our dogs roam freely with no worries of them breaking out!

Two sets of nice patio doors that allowed very easy access and plenty of garden furniture to enjoy the sun from almost any direction.

Our hosts Norman and Linda were very friendly and helpfull

Very comfortable accomodation.

The Old Bull Pen is welcoming,tasteful,comfortable practical and very peaceful and private. All aspects exceeded our expectations with extras such as a cloakroom, in addition to the en-suites to every bedroom, private parking, an enclosed lawn with a patio and BBQ, a south facing courtyard, multiple external doors, a large kitchen diner with double doors, a cosy lounge,a utiliy room and temporary handles etc put in place to make life easier for my 87 year old mother, who has limited mobility and found the accommodation met her needs. Lynda and Norman make you feel very welcome. Every need you may have as a guest has been considered and catered for by them. We hope to return.

Hosts Norman & Lynda friendly & helpful. Warm Welcome. Cottage has all "mod-cons" plus delightful decor. Dreamy beds, beautiful linen, super-kitchen. Well designed bathroom, sparkling-new. Comfortable space everywhere. Excellent security & safety. Lovely garden.

Friendly, local people in delightful, active, village. Within easy reach by car to many places of interest, including the TV-famous "Acton Scott Historical Farm",(see the Shire horses), and several National Trust houses. For walkers, some of the most beautiful scenery in England. If you love the music "On Wenlock Edge" - come and see where it was inspired.

Thoroughly enjoyed a short visit. Stayed in Threshers Cottage. Beautifully clean,spacious and well maintained cottage with delightful enclosed garden in farm setting down quiet country road. Delicious cake and welcome basket on arrival. Will definitely be returning.

Beautiful house with everything you need and more. Our hosts were very welcoming and we felt so at home very quickly.

The children (ages 6&7) loved exploring the dell behind the cottage and the walks about the farm were perfect for our little two.

Peaceful cottage and location. Perfectly placed talk to explore the wonderful county and countryside.

Thank you for a really great few days. We'd recommend to anyone and we'd love to go back.

On booking Well Meadow Cottage, I had a feeling that it was going to be a special place because of the way it was described to be so dog friendly and because of communications with Norman beforehand. He seemed like such a lovely chap and that came across on email. On arrival, we were welcomed by Lynda who was lovely and explained about walks in the area and about the fact that we could use all their fields for walking the dogs (we visited at a time when the sheep were away for lambing so had full access to most of the fields owned by the farm). It was amazing, stress free dog walking in a beautiful part of the UK. So peaceful and so pretty.

The welcome pack was a lovely touch with some beautiful locally made jam, beer and other goodies.

Well Meadow cottage itself is just ideal when you have dogs. The kitchen floor is tiled and all the doors can be securely closed so that dogs can sleep in the space comfortably.

The outside garden is fully enclosed so again, this is perfect for four legged friends.

The inside of the cottage is a lovely and spacious for a 2 bedroomed property. Its also well equipped. It's especially nice that the cottage is down it's own track so you are away from it all, yet the owners are on hand at the farm , down the lane should you need anything.

We have stayed at many properties over the last 10 years with our dogs, probably about 3 cottages per year on average. Well Meadow was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed that suited ours and the dogs needs perfectly. It's also very well located for Ludlow, with the town being approx 3-4 miles away.

We don't tend to go back to the same property twice as we like to see different places but this place was an absolute delight and we would definitely love to come back sometime. Big thank you to Norman and Lynda for being such lovely hosts.

What can I say? Even before arriving, I knew this would be a lovely holiday. Norman was friendly and welcoming via email so it was no surprise he would be the same in person.

Threshers cottage is beautiful! All the things you would expect to be there, were and a whole lot more. It was comfortable, clean, tidy and so very well equipped.

There is a comfortable living room with open fire, a well equipped kitchen and utility room. A conservatory which looks out on to a private garden. The bedrooms were simply furnished and the beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were immaculate and boutique style toiletries added a finishing touch. Norman and Lynda have done a fabulous job creating a home from home for their guests. They went above and beyond providing everything any guest would require. The little extras; books,board games and lots of local information provided in the cottage, made our time there so very easy.

I would book again in a heartbeat and plan to do so as soon as possible.

Wellmeadow is well appointed and set within beautiful, peaceful countryside. It proved an ideal base because of its proximity to Ludlow. Set in open farmland it is pet friendly and conducive to excellent walking.

Stayed in Threshers cottage - absolutely perfect. It is well equipped and immaculately maintained, warm and welcoming - a real home from home. It allowed us to really wind down and relax. Norman and Lynda have created a wonderful atmosphere and are a mine of useful local information. The village is also very pretty and people are very friendly. Our Golden Retriever thought it was paradise! Cannot praise everything enough - we will be booking again.

We stayed in the Bull Pen five years ago for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and loved the cottage. Visiting last week the high standard of accommodation, facilities and cleanliness had not dropped at all. and we also rented Threshers which was equally fantastic. All of our party sent emails afterwards saying how good it was.

Was staying here with my parents for a short break. Having stayed in others of Norman and Lynda's Cottages I can safely say that, once again, a 5* holiday was had by all. The quality of the properties is second to none, with detailed and useful information on everything you could possibly want and need. Dog friendly in the truest sense, Family friendly, Warm Welcoming, extremely comfortable, home from home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of the cottages here, the location. This wasn't our first and I doubt it will be our last stay here. Absolutely fabulous.

We have stayed in others of Norman and Lynda’s cottages previously, over Christmas or New Year, and always had a fantastic time. This was our first time in Summer, and our first time at the Old Bull Pen. We were able to enjoy the reality of the two sun-trap patios (they catch the sun at different times of day). The cottage’s facilities were ideal for a family time, gathering together our grownup children who now live far away from us, and making their dogs welcome too. Safe enclosed garden areas, great for dogs or young children. Plenty of dog-friendly and child-friendly walks right from the cottage, through the fields and farmland, or through the village. Lots of helpful information and maps, also for more energetic walkers/hikers on outdoor pursuits; and a large choice of indoor activities if the weather is bad: choose a book from the large selection, play a game, do a jigsaw, listen to music (radio, CD player, iPod dock) – or even watch television!

All the cottages are of the highest standard of cleanliness and convenience, with all home comforts. The owners live nearby, are always ready to help, but never intrusive.

The location is superb, the countryside on your doorstep, but the facilities (markets, supermarkets, shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways) of a town are less than ten minutes’ drive away. Support local food producers by shopping at the Ludlow Food Centre. Enjoy a full English breakfast in the Kitchen there. There are many interesting and lovely places to visit within easy reach. We never tire of it.

We stayed in the Old Bull Pen. This is a lovely cottage with very good facilities. The weather was bitterly cold but we were always cosy and warm inside. The kitchen facilities are excellent. So many thoughtful touches such as dog towels, bowls etc. and lovely cake for the humans. We got plenty of useful advice on places to go with the dog in and around Ludlow. The village is very pretty and we did some good walks straight from the door. The patio areas around the cottage are lovely with very comfortable furniture. It would be a real sun trap if the sun had shone!

Excellent weekend at Well Meadow, great location surrounded by fields. We liked the park in the village, the church in the village (great welcome), Noma the owner & his dog & Sally the cook (great pies).

We stayed in Well Meadow. It is everything you would want in a holiday cottage and more.There is always a lovely welcome pack waiting for you on arrival.The owners are friendly and helpful without being intrusive.The village is quiet and the locals friendly.Dogs are most welcome and they provide blankets, towel and a bowl for them. Ludlow is 15mins drive away with a variety local shops,supermarkets, bars and restaurants.

We have stayed in the other cottages in the past which are of the same standard. We would highly recommend Ashford Farm Cottages, you will not be disappointed.

We stayed here for a new years break. The cottage was beautiful and had everything we need. It was extremely clean and well presented we had a lovely relaxing stay with our dogs who also had a great time. There was plenty of fields for them to enjoy. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The owners were available if we needed them and very approachable and friendly. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay here and would love to visit again. Many thanks for a peaceful stay

Our 8th or 9th visit to Ashford Farm but the first time at Christmas.

Beautiful quiet location in a very peaceful and friendly village.

Cottage immaculately clean as usual.

Welcome pack excellent.

Great for dogs with dog blankets,towels,dog bowls etc. provided. Also plenty of walks.

Owners live on site which is great for any assistance needed. They are also very friendly and helpful.

We are already booked to visit again which says it all.

Very convenient for Ludlow with its superb shops such as local butchers etc. and places to eat and drink.

We have stayed at Ashford Farm for 9 years. The cottages are superb and of an excellent standard. The location is perfect with a variety of walks from the door, but with the added benefit of many local attractions being in easy reach including Croft Castle and local Forestry Commission sites. Excellent dog walking country. The cottages are very comfortable and the hosts are extremely helpful. Wood burning fire is wonderful and we love the home comforts. We are definitely going back again next year and recommend Ashford Farm as a wonderful cottage holiday venue

We have been regular visitors to Ashford Farm for the last nine years, and they remain the only cottages to which we have ever returned.They are kept in immaculate order, and are extremely well equipped.Norman and Lynda Tudge are very welcoming and caring hosts and the well kept gardens are a delight.

This was our first stay in Grazers Cottage on Ashford Farms but definitely not our last - the property is in a lovely village ideally located to explore Shropshire. The cottage is well maintained with lovely homely furnishings and is equipped with everything you would want for a self catering holiday. A lovely cake and welcome basket were left for us, which are the finer touches to make it all the more special. The owner was very helpful and friendly and told us about lots of places and walks around Shropshire as it was our first time there. We had a wonderful time and have recommended it to our family and friends. Cannot wait to return!

Our 1st visit but not our last. Lovely well equipped comfortable cottage in a beautiful location. Very dog friendly - garden fully enclosed with lots of room to run. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent short break at Well Meadow cottage.Very comfortable and extremely clean. Lovely welcome basket supplied by friendly and helpful owners, Norman and Lynda. A great cottage in a beautiful part of England.Thoroughly recommended.

PH

Beautiful setting and surroundings,clean well-equipped cottage, welcoming owners.

A very peaceful environment and,in our cottage,no immediate neighbours. Plenty of easy walking around local farmland. Several NT properties within easy reach. Ludlow itself is charming. It is difficult to say how the cottage could be bettered. The smaller of the two bedrooms is, perhaps, a little cramped for two adults.

Our 2nd visit to Ashford Farm and will be returning. All cottages of an exceptional standard. Everything provided that one could need. A real home from home. A relaxing holiday in a quiet village with the friendly owners on site.

A lovely area with lots to do. Many National Trust properties nearby.

Ludlow very good for food.

Looking forward to our next visit.

We have visited the Old Bull Pen twice a year for several years now.

The cottage is furnished to a very high standard & is extremely comfortable. You feel at home straight away.

There is always a welcoming hamper, including a super homemade cake to enjoy on arrival.

Lynda & Norman are very friendly & helpful & always make you feel welcome.

The cottage is situated within it's own garden area & is peaceful & quiet.Plenty of outside seating is provided.

There are many interesting places to visit in the area including Ludlow with it's castle, market & restaurants.

Our experience at the cottage was exceptional. the owners were very welcoming and helping. we had a very relaxing weekend. the wifi was perfect. we have no complaints what so ever. really looking forward to staying again

Fantastic warm welcome, Cottage exceeded expectation for comfort and amenities. Would highly recommend

Had a fantastic time - cottage was extremely comfortable and Norman and Lynda made us feel very welcome. Already missing it!

Beautiful,quiet village location. Ideal cottage for any time of year as it has a wood burning stove plus a lovely outside area with easy access.Lynda Tudge was very welcoming. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

We have stayed at Ashford Farm at least once each year since 1989 - we love it! Norman and Lynda Tudge set themselves high standards in everything needed to make a stay in any of the cottages a pleasure. Added to the attractions of beautiful countryside and a welcoming community in a quiet rural village, nearby Ludlow offers the opportunity to enjoy the quality of life in an outstanding, ancient market town. Beyond that, there is something for everyone in this part of Shropshire - what more could anyone ask?

We have been visiting Ashford Farm Cottages at least once a year for each of the fifteen years since we were lucky enough to find this lovely place. All of the complimentary things people have already said are fully justified - not only about the cottages and their facilities but also about the rural, village setting and the attention to detail devoted to it by the owners, Norman and Lynda Tudge - all-in-all, a perfect place for whatever one could want to do.

Having just returned from a week at Ashford Farm Cottages and reflecting on this and nine earlier visits over the same number of years the majority of which have been ay Well Meadow we continue to appreciate the peace and tranquillity offered by the cottage surrounded by farmland and situated in a quiet village with no through road. The cottage itself is furnished and maintained at a very high standard with all facilities and an enclosed garden. The owners Lynda and Norman are on site and make you very welcome including an array of goodies as soon as you arrive. There are excellent opportunities for walking both locally across the farmland and from the village whilst further afield there are several areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Returned again to this wonderful cottage which is in a perfect location for exploring Shropshire and the surronding area.

Well Meadow is in a private setting down a track from the main farm house.It offers a high standard of cleanliness and comfort with it's own enclosed garden [perfect for us as we have a little dog]..

We have stayed in the past in one of the other property's to rent on the farm and this too was of the same high standard.

Would highly recommend any of Ashford Farm cottages and can't wait to return again next year. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

We have so far stayed 3 times in Grazers Cottage at Ashford Farm. It is a comfortable, warm, immaculately clean 3 bed roomed

property with a lovely conservatory and a large and totally dog proof garden. The cottage is very well maintained and with lots of little extras it always feels like home straight away. The cottage is situated on the quiet main street of the village which itself is very pretty, with friendly locals and lots of interesting walks from the door. The equally friendly owners live on site and are readily available with any help or information that might be required. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We have been to Ashford Farm 6 times in all now - and we've booked a 7th visit. The cottages are all exceptionally presented and very well equipped. It's especially quiet in the village and the people are all very friendly and happy to chat to you. an ideal place to base yourself for exploring this special area.

This is our 3rd stay at Ashford Farm Cottages. If you\'re looking for a walk-in, unpack your bags and feel instantly at home - this is it! Right down to the home-made cake on the table ready for that first cup of tea. There is nothing that isn\'t exceptional about these cottages and their owners. Can recommend. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

This is our 3rd visit to Ashford Farm Cottages. Our stay in Grazers was perfect from beginning to end. If you're looking for a place where your holiday starts from the moment you step through the door this is the place for you. Right down to the welcoming homemade complimentary cake to have with your first cup of tea on arrival. Perfect in every way - can recommend.

Excellent cottage. Everything provided that one could possibly need. A pleasure to stay in. In fact we could have stayed there for months! A lovely welcoming hamper provided. Ideal location for exploring. We enjoyed visiting Ludlow, Stokesay Castle and Powis Castle to name a few.

We have stayed at Ashford Farm Cottages for the last 6 years. Each cottage has a home from home feel, all is provided for you even down to the tea towels, washing liquid. Lovely log fires which are great in the winter. Lynda and Norman live on site, and are very approachable if anything needs to be done. Ludlow has many lovely places to eat and each cotage has a guest book, with places to go and eat, and also where to avoid, based on other peoples reviews. One you have stayed in at Ashford Farm cottages, you will always return back.

We have visited several times in the last few years.0ur latest visit was to the Old Bull Pen which has exceptional accomodation. Previouly we have been to Well Meadow (3 times) and Threshers.

All cottages are maintained to the best standards of any cottages we have visited.Cleanliness is excellent and equipment is superb.

Welcome pack of a cake,milk,local crisps, jam and bottle of local beer plus cider are a rare treat.

All have good well maintained gardens.

Very dog friendly so much so dog blanket, towel and bowl are provided.

Very friendly and helpful on site owners.

Able to walk dogs acrooss the farm fields. Near to Ludlow town which is a lovely town with most pubs being dog and children friendly.

Wonderful cottages for a peaceful friendly holiday. Villagers are also very friendly.

Having stayed four times at Threshers Cottage it has always been very clean, and well appointed, with a home from home feeling. Ideal location for visiting Shropshire and the surrounding area. Mr & Mrs Tudge really make you feel very welcome.

We have been visiting Ashford Farms Cottages for over ten years. During that time we have stayed in each one of their cottages. They have all been maintained to an extremely high standard.

We thoroughly enjoy our stays and look forward to our next visit. There is always a warm welcome from Linda, Norman and of course Ruby

I rent this cottage every summer because it has everything I want in a holiday destination. My mother is very elderly and it is a perfect location for her. Facilities throughout the cottage are excellent, especially the conservatory and large garden. I can take my dog and there are some wonderful walks on the farm itself and through the village. The owners are lovely - they leave you alone but, at the same time, are always on hand should there be a problem and going the extra mile this summer by providing a wheelchair was just fantastic. I would recommend this property 100% to anybody - just as long as there is still room for me!

The most comfortable cottage (Well Meadow)we have stayed in. This was our ninth visit and we will be coming again.

The owners were most helpful and friendly.

Booking by phone is easy. Dogs very welcome, plenty of walks nearby. Garden fully enclosed.
