4 star AA rating for food could qualify give or take for that perhaps as it is well presented and in pleasant surroundings so dinner was good and the breakfast clean tidy and adequate very quickly, maybe too, quickly, served at a strictly stated time when maybe a little relaxing is required before travelling home Visiting a couple of weeks ago we found that what they don't tell you is that the rooms are three star minus being totally soulless, we had a room at the back and was looking over fields if you looked over the very untidy allotments and a caravan site beside and behind the hotel. Bed said to be king but more like a prince with sofa and cheap table come desk upon which were cups and kettle and one biscuit pack no water and we were expected to drink it out of the bathroom tap which is unusual for a room costing £160 or so. Would certainly not pass the four in bed program testing with toothpaste rings on the unit and fittings falling off the wall in various places. Very thin walls which meant that you could hear the conversation or television from the adjoining room as they seemed to have headboards head to head. Yes parking was good but would recommend just strolling down to the river and the Weir for a couple of drinks and or afternoon tea with cake rather than the hotel Ludlow though a good and thriving town and worth a visit does not have much in the way of decent accommodation so it's a shame that this could be one of the best but not worth a revisit so check for yourself as some seem to be satisfied but others who have had rooms not, all depends on your view we suppose.
