The Maltster's House Reviews

We spent a lovely week at The Maltsers. The house is exceptionally clean and welcoming. Facilities and equipment are excellent and its location within 310mins walking distance of lots of eateries and shops made for a very relaxed and easy week. Would definitely not hesitate to stay here again.

As 6 school friends meeting up again 50 years later, this beautiful house was perfect for our reunion. A luxurious bedroom each, 5 bathrooms, furnished and equipped to the highest quality, everything we needed for self catering. The outside space was a real bonus for our morning coffee and evening glass of wine. Well located in walking distance of the railway station, supermarkets, great choice of pubs & restaurants, the shops and castle. Lovely to meet the owners and learn about the history of the house. Highly recommended!

Graham

The accommodation was perfect in every way. Location was excellent to visit the Ludlow centre. The property owner was most helpful in every way. Faultless holiday.

Andrew

This is high quality accommodation beautifully decorated, clean and with plenty of space. It's location in the centre of Ludlow is ideal.

The Maltsters House was lovely in every way. Clean, very comfortable for 11 of us, great location. The homeowner was very kind and helpful. We all enjoyed our stay immensely.

Rosemary

We had a really lovely minibreak in Ludlow and it was such a joy and a treat to stay in the beautiful Maltsters House. The house was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and spacious .. the bathroom was a favourite with us all!! We really appreciated all the extras to make us welcome .. the fresh flowers were beautiful. And many thanks for all the recommendations for things to see and do in Ludlow. We would all highly recommend the Maltsters House and hope to stay there again one day. Many thanks.

Richard

Brilliant house. The pictures dont really do it justice. The owner was extremely helpful and configured the house just how we wanted it. Communication was great. The facilities were great including a Nespresso coffee machine and lots of plates, glasses and cooking utensils. Everything you could need. Courtyard was lovely and a little sun trap.

Harold

This year we used The Maltster's House, for an Easter family gettogether including our 4 grandchildren. We used the property for a similar Christmas gathering several years back and have found it ideal on both occasions. On both visits, the house was full of laughter and enjoyed by all. The accommodation is comfortable and convenient and provides an ideal base to explore this beautiful part of the country

Sandra

Great property . Very comfortable and restful. Brilliant location. As the temperature outside dropped and was frosty we wanted to light the wood burner but could find nothing to light it with. Perhaps some Prosecco glasses would have made the celebratory weekend complete. Other than that , perfect!

We had a lovely weekend in Ludlow, the Maltsters house was very clean and comfortable, very well equipped and situated in a lovely spot for discovering the area. We had a great time. Thank you

We came to Ludlow for a family get together and the Maltsters didnt disappoint. It was clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed for a relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend it.

Our second visit to The Maltsters within a year ! Perfect home in a great location. The owner was very accommodating with lots of help on hand . Everything in the home is top quality with really comfortable beds and 2 bathrooms. Theres a car park and the railway station within 5 minutes walk,Tescos and Aldi too.We would totally recommend a stay here especially if like us you need a restful weekend with good friends.

Joanna

A lovely, spacious, clean, well appointed and equipped property, walking distance to everywhere in central Ludlow and very near supermarkets and train station. It is on a main road, a bit noisy sometimes if the front windows are open. Good to have a free parking space in the road. Unfortunately the sound on the lounge television did not work and we didn't want to waste holiday time staying in for engineers, so could not use it.

Damian

The property is beautiful! 10 minute walk to centre of town & castle. Aldi, Tesco and railway station around the corner. We parked at the railway station for our stay as the property is on the main road and only has parking for one vehicle. Eating establishments tend to close at 230 pm and reopen at 6 pm.

Rachael

We had the most amazing weekend here, the house was perfect and had everything we needed. Perfect location for our adventures too! We would definitely be visiting again! Thank you so much to the Malsters House owners. Xx

This is a beautiful home in the centre of Ludlow town. The photographs do not do it justice. We were celebrating a big birthday with our daughters husbands and grandchildren. It was very convenient for walking to restaurants and shopping. The bed linen was beautiful and everywhere was very clean. Only moan ,we would have liked some champagne glasses and we did find quantity of toilets for ten is an issue .

Lovely house. Well maintained and plenty of cookware and utensils. Very helpful owner.

We felt so lucky to find this gem in Ludlow ! Perfect setting close to shops and bars staying in a beautiful home . The house had everything we needed with comfortable beds and lots of space to socialize together which was perfect for our celebration. I was contacted by the owner who was lovely and really helpful.Our group have talked about making it a yearly trip due it being so perfect

A lovely property in an ideal location

Lovely house, very comfortable and great location.

Spacious, clean and comfortable cottage. All the rooms a generous size. Very comfortable beds and leather sofas. The kitchen is well equipped with pans etc. Two boilers so there are no hot water issues when staying with a large group. Excellent location, with the centre only a few minutes away at the top of the street, and the walk to Dinham Weir starting at the old church yard opposite the house. The owner was exceptionally helpful, making sure we had good restaurant tips in advance we loved the secret parlour pub at no. 14 Corve Street. Highly recommended overall.

The house is in a great location for exploring the lovely town of Ludlow. It was clean, comfortable and spacious. The owners were helpful with suggestions of places to eat, park and visit.

Stunning property. Ideal location. Excellent communication. All utilities of a very high standard. We were a gang of 5 uni friends and the cottage was exactly what we needed. Close to town, station, supermarket. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you!

Sharon

A lovely house which was ideal for our family get together. Excellent communication from the host ensured everything went smoothly. Ideally situated for exploring Ludlow. I'm sure we will be back.

Fantastic house. It has been wonderfully updated and the original features preserved to make it very attractive. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The house was spotless and well maintained. We were particularly impressed by the kitchen, the expensive appliances and the level of equipment. Cutlery, crockery, glasses and pans were all top quality and there was plenty of them. It even has Le Creusot! The location is excellent and only a short walk to the centre of town. Our group was very impressed with the house and we look forward to returning there soon

Lovely property, beautifully situated, well equipped with friendly, helpful owners who are close at hand if needed. If I can make one suggestion the bath towels are exceptionally small and should be replaced.

Teresa

Superb accommodation Very good communication from the owner Will be staying again

Hilkka

We enjoyed a lovely four night stay at The Malsters to celebrate my mums 70th birthday. The house was extremely comfortable, had everything we needed and enjoyed a fantastic central location. Alina was extremely helpful and gave lots of recommendations that helped to make our stay even more special. We would love to visit this property again.

A beautiful house in an ideal location for exploring Ludlow.

Claire

Fantastic place to stay in Ludlow! Owners were also very helpful with advice and tips on things to doplaces to go to during your time there.

Yes the property was Great, well Placed, Plenty of room, Very Clean and Tidy. Parking was Just across the road. Ludlow it self was a Wonderful place to visit, Plenty of places to go, and a short train ride to plenty of places of interest. Will one day return.

Malsters House was deceptively spacious, well presented and very comfortable for our group. All the amenities within the house were clean and in good order with a good stock of crockerycutlery. The beds are very comfortable, and the size of the bathroom has to be seen to be believed! Would highly recommend this property.

Rachel

The location of the property was very good with having local shops close by so you didn't need to rely on transport, having the free permit to park your car across the road was an added bonus. Plenty of room within the house to accommodate 10 people.

Philip

The Maltsters house ticks all of the boxes that you would expect of a holiday cottage . Just on the edge of Ludlow which is a beautiful town full of quirky shops and varied eateries, we Loved the walk in and didnt have a bad meal or take away. The cottage itself Comfortably accommodated 9 people, we were lucky with the weather and spent some lovely family evenings in the courtyard. Everything was spotless and there were no shortages of equipment. All Bedrooms were spacious With very comfortable beds and you could have a party in the bathroom it was massive. All in all I would recommend the cottage and hopefully it doesnt get fully booked so we can book it again in the future.
