138C Old Star and Garter Mews Reviews

This is the third time we have stayed at this apartment and its a great place to stay, central to town, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, places to visit and the benefit of having car parking. We had some difficulties with connectivity of the TV, also noticed the towel rail in the bathroom was damage so didn't use it and no chain in the sink between the overflow and the outlet. However these were minor things and they won't put us off returning to the apartment.

Mr John

The property is in a great location near to the town centre. The property has off street parking a bonus in Ludlow. It is close to many good Pubs and restaurants and 2 supermakets. If visiting Ludlow I would stay here again.

Nice position, comfy and warm. Floor contours take some getting used to.

I had a great stay here. The antiquey knickknacks are not to my taste but the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom were all modern and clean. The apartment door was a little tricky to get in with the key but that was my only tiny quibble. I would definitely stay here again.

Alison

A great appartment, well equipped, warm, very central and quiet, with the bonus of a parking space, we really enjoyed our stay. And would stay again.

Hayley

Just had a great week in Ludlow. The Mews is really well placed to visit the town a 5 minute walk and surrounding areas, and also with the bonus of a parking space. We loved the quirkiness of this property,we have never been in one like it and doubt we would find one again ! The property was lovely and clean,nice and warm and had plenty of hot water. Thankyou...We hope to stay again in the future

Very clean and tidy, excellent location and a very pretty little place to stay.

It would be reassuring if the electrical appliances were PAT tested. The uneven flooring proved a challenge for my partially sighted wife. Otherwise the flat was clean,well equipped and a great base to explore Ludlow.

A delightful quaint property in the heart of Ludlow perfect for our needs. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely small top floor flat in a former town centre inn, with quirky sloping floor due to the age of the building. Comfy bed, modern kitchen area, rather small bath with overhead shower, tv works on streaming only. A few books and DVDs supplied, together with tourist material. Very narrow entrance to parking area, but our SUV just made it very handy to be able to walk everywhere with ease.

Excellent location, good parking, clean and tidy and everything in working order. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No 38C. Despite the bitter cold the apartment was cosy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for our weeks stay, the bed extremely comfortable and shower over the bath was fine. We appreciated the secure car parking at the back of the premises, given parking is not particularly easy in the town. There was a small problem in the apartment that arose whilst we were there and Kevin the caretaker was most helpful is sorting it out and keeping us informed. Would stay again and recommend the property as a great place to stay. Thank you

Rebecca

We had an enjoyable weekend. The flat is clean and perfectly adequate for two people. The location in the town centre with a parking space couldnt be much better. We would definitely recommend.

An excellent welllocated property. Everything you need is to hand in and out of the flat. Comfortable bed and sofa. Wellequipped kitchen.

Christopher

COMFORT The bed was comfortable. Settee broken down and impossible to sit on properly. 'Dining' table drawer meant it was impossible to sit with legs under. Nowhere to hang washing if you use washing machine. Traffic noise intrusive to sleep and television watching even with windows closed and blinds down. Lots of cushions supplied. CLEANLINESS Kitchen area, tops, fridge, hob and oven clean. Crockery and saucepans dirty with ingrained food and removable stains on mugs. Dust behind bedside cabinet on skirting easily cleanable. SAFETY Rug lounge trip hazard due to being ruckled. Step just inside bathroom no warning and not in description. Gateleg 'dining' table very rickety partly due to additions to legs to accommodate differences in floor height and also moved if anyone walking by it due to floorboards. The slopes of the floor not mentioned in description are a hazard in kitchen dining area, especially if carrying hot liquids. I have balance problems and found the floor difficult. Lacks adequate handrail to get in and out of bath. FACILITIES Well equipped kitchen area with small worktop space. Small television has no aerial so no Freeview or Freesat, just app only no subscriptions included. This small flat boasts lots of extras such as antique wooden capstretcher, plastic flowers in chamber pot, antique trouser and jacket hanger, and many plastic flowers arrangements including in bathroom.

Sharon

We stayed at this property for almost 3 weeks in JulyAug 2023 and loved the thoughtful conveniences within the apartment, the communication with the owner and local manager, and its location in a picturesque small town with beautiful hills as well as walking distance to groceries, Ludlow Castle, historic marketplace, foodie places, and bustrain stations. Yes, it is an old building with some uneven spots on the floor under the carpet, but that's to be expected with these wonderful historic places. The owner remodeled the apartment beautifully, and we couldn't have been happier in our choice of lodgings! We would definitely stay there again if we make it back there from the U.S.!

Second time my wife and I have stopped here. It has almost everything you could want including a car parking space. The apartment is clean, bed really comfortable and we didn't have any noise from the road outside. Its a 5 minute walk to the town centre, similar time to the tap room at the brewery, a couple of minutes to the supermarkets very conveniently situated. For a quirky experience try the Dog Hangs Well pub down and opposite look out for the old street light lit when its open no mobiles and cash only.

Lovely characterful apartment in an ideal location near the centre of Ludlow. Great to not need our car at all as is within walking distance of everything needed, and train to other local to towns.

We really enjoyed our stay in the flat. Centrally located in Ludlow, we never needed the car over our 4 day stay! There was a problem with the boiler and we had no hot water, but it was dealt with on the day we reported it to the management company. The flat was perfect for two. It had everything we needed for a lovely break away.

Great location and lovely quirky apartment suitable for two. Caretaker service by Kevin excellent. Two minor issues. a The directions to the property need to be more explicit in how you actually get to the property. The passage leading to the propertycar parking is very narrow and though we found where the building was on Corve St we couldn't see how we could reach it! It would help if it said Access is via the narrow passage between numbers 137 and 138. b The TV has a very small screen which could be an issue for many people nowadays as well as for those with less than perfect vision. However, what needs addressing is that only TV apps via Freeview player are usable which means that only BBC channels are available to watch live.

What a wonderful place to stay Close enough to the centre of LUDLOW, far ... What a wonderful place to stay Close enough to the centre of LUDLOW, far enough to be in a quiet location Everything you would want 1010

Sheila

Clean and well equipped property. Comfortable bed and ample storage space in a very good location only a short walk into the historic town of Ludlow. It was easy to check into the property, following the instructions given and it was a massive advantage to have a car parking space at the rear. The building was historic and quirky with slightly uneven floors but this added to its charm. We enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable,convenient well equipped. Everything worked very smoothly

The apartment was as described so no disappointments and we found the stairs to the 3rd floor were easy to manage. The apartment was quirky, with bent beams and sloping floors which added to the character. Even on the hottest day of the year it maintained a comfortable temperature if you had the blinds down. The bed and pillows were comfy and the bedroom quite spacious with a good wardrobe. It had most things you require including hairdryer and iron, we did however find the TV difficult to operate. The parking was an advantage 1.80 hour outside the property and once you got through the narrow entrance opposite the orange pink house it was fine, I got through with a BMW330 with some space to spare. The caretaker left us a fan due to the hot weather so we were well looked after. This was our second visit to Ludlow which is a lovely place especially for foodies try The Church, Golden Moments, The Blue Boar, Mortimer's and Bistro 7, but would advise to book in advance. There's also Ludlow Brewery only 5 minutes walk away with a tap house, also a Tesco and Aldi within 5 minutes. Traffic noise was minimal mainly on recycling day.

Robert

Great location and Ludlow is a compact historic town with all facilities town and flat. I recognised the narrow entrance but could not find much on what sort of car could be driven in. Once in loads of space so that is a real bonus in Ludlow. My daughter found it narrow entrance warning on another part of website, but that was after I had booked. I can confirm a medlarge SUV can get in but it was tight and the locals would stop and watch as I went in and out! The slopping floor is either a quirky reature or a real pain depending on your point of view. If it was actually built into the loft space like this I would be surprised and as an ex building inspector do not think it would get approved now. I missed the strip the bed instruction which was buried in the midstay email until it was too late out by 09.30? this should be in the instructions on booking. I know the prices have all gone up as we look for staycations but not cheap would probably look for another flatcottage next visit.
