Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Ludlow Castle next door is open all year and hosts outdoor events. The River Teme and Linney Riverside Park are a short walk away. The market runs four days a week and there is a highchair at the property. Multiple reviewers brought children of all ages and found plenty to keep them busy.

Dinham Court Reviews

Sheena
We had a wonderful stay at Dinham court and hope to return next year. We were a party of four, so it was possible for each of us to have our own bedroom and bathroom which was very much appreciated. The lack of a shower in the one bathroom was slightly disappointing but we are OK with sharing so it wasn't really a problem. As Ludlow is built on top of a hill, Dinham Court is perfectly situated to avoid any climbing as it's central for most of the shops and entirely on the level. As one of our party has disabilities this was essential for our needs. It is a beautiful house, full of character and very well equipped with all the 'mod cons' required for a comfortable stay. We did have a slight problem with a wardrobe but rang Kate, who looks after the property, and she very quickly came round and sorted it. We were very familiar with Ludlow and we love the town I think we now love Dinham Court almost as much!
Lovely house in an excellent position close to the centre of Ludlow. , which is itself, of course, a lovely town! Excellent facilities for guests with the 2 offroad parking spaces being especially welcome. Handy for such attractions as the Castle, the amazing church and the Bread Walk.
Lovely property sited well. Lying in a very good postion within a great town to visit. Parking for the property was good and easy to use. We were a family in age ranging from mid forties to mid ninties we all enoyed the position and use of the house. Down stairs shower I felt could benefit less abled visitors by being a walk in one.The upstairs bath would benefit visitors by having a shower attachment. Overall no negatives. We all enjoyed our stay. Big thankyou to the owner.
Christine
We, 3 generations and a dog, all had a wonderful stay at Dinham Court. The house was perfect for all our needs, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location of the house is great. The parking spaces are a brilliant addition to a town location, The beds are really comfy and 4 bathrooms is a luxury. Ludlow has so much to offer. There are lovely dog walks by the river, we enjoyed our many visits to the market and there are many lovely places to eat, drink or buy delicious food from. We ventured further afield and enjoyed days at Barrington Hall and Herefordshire Raceway. We would highly recommend both Ludlow and Dinham Court.
Sandra
The smiley faces on the ratings don't allow us to inform others how amazing the property and the location are, our car, once parked did not move all week, there was no need. We were so very comfortable, despite the heat, we ate all our meals outside, the lovely people of Ludlow were all so welcoming, a wonderful holiday. Thank you so much
Pauline
This is an ideal place to stay if you want a restful break. Very well equipped kitchen and although only a small outside space ideal for those lazy afternoon cheese and wine lunches. Once the car is parked no need to use it for the whole week. Only a short walk into the town centre with lots of coffee shops and places to eat. Its our third time there so I think that says it all. We would recommend this accommodation as a comfortable spacious and clean.
My family and I had a wonderful week in Ludlow. Dinham Court is a beautifully proportioned house the rooms are huge! and really well equipped. The location is incredibly central, with lots of pubs, restaurants and historical sites just a stone's throw away. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful.
The highest recommendation I can give this great property is that this was the third time we have stayed there in the last 12 minutes months. It's a wonderful house which can comfortably accommodate 7 people, with plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. If I have a tiny criticism it would be that the water pressure can be found wanting when using the showers. However, it's an old house full of character so that should be borne in mind. Visit Ludlow and stay here. It's great!
An excellent property in a fantastic location and great communication with the owner. Can't find any negatives!
This is our second time visiting Dinham Court and it was just as perfect this time as it was the first. The location couldnt be any better and to have parking is great. The house is such a lovely property. It works brilliantly for us and is so comfortable and has everything you need. Well definitely be back!
Wonderful property in a great location , helpful and approachable owners
We have stayed at Dinham Court before, but in the summer. The only thing I would add to my previous feedback is that this time we felt the benefit of the heating, which was perfect at all times. We've booked again this summer. A wonderful property in a wonderful town
We had a lovely Christmas week, accommodation was excellent, weather good and Ludlow itself perfect with independent shops, a daily market and lovely walks. Would definitely recommend this property.
Had a great time, cottage was in a good location for restaurants, pubs shops, market, castle and walks. Would definitely stay there again. Very clean and well equipped. The owner was very helpful.
We had a wonderful week. Spotlessly clean. very friendly host and housekeeping staff. lovely dog friendly garden. perfect for visiting Ludlow and surrounding areas. We would have no hesitation in recommending.thank you
Robert
Our party of 6 adults and a dog had a lovely week in Ludlow. The accommodation was extremely comfortably, spacious , clean and had everything that you could possibly need. A fantastic location less than five minutes to the beautiful river walks and within two minutes of the town centre on the flat which made easy walking for the older members of the party. Though in a central location for all the shops, cafes and pubs the street, directly opposite the castle, was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely recommend this property.
Patrick
First class in every respect. More like a home than a cottage. It's right at the top of our list of places to return to.
A lovely, wellequipped and comfortable home in a great location. Situated close to the market square and handy for a walk down to the River Teme. The 2 offroad parking spaces were a nice bonus. Ludlow is a lovely town and this is the perfect base from which to explore it and the surrounding area. We were here last year and have booked to stay again next year. One minor point we struggled a bit with the heating system and sometimes the showers didnt have hot water.
Even before our arrival the communication with the owner was exceptional who had contacted me about the upgrade on off road parking space. On our arrival the biscuits and red roses in a vase were a lovely touch in a spotlessly clean, large detached house situated opposite Ludlow Castle. Access to the property was simple via a keysafe and a spare key was hanging inside. We go away in the UK regularly and are sometimes disappointed by the standard of kitchen fittings and equipment. Not so here as there was plenty of crockery, cutlery and pots and pans. The built in oven was a superb Bosch, important to us as we often cook for ourselves and treat such trips as a home from home. As we move into September we needed to light the gas fire on a couple of evenings and this was a simple and effective operation. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms sizeable, particularly the master bedroom. The owner had pre warned me about poor water pressure in Ludlow, and I did notice a couple of times when using the shower that it could be affected by other guests flushing toilets or using taps. However, I soon organised our party into a shower rota so this wasn't a major issue. The best recommendation I can give Dinham Court is that we have already rebooked!
There were 7 of us plus 1 well behaved labrador . The property was faultless and the location excellent. We all had a memorable holiday. Thanks to the owner
Antony
Perfectly located just outside Ludlow Castle gets, with easy access to the market square pubs and restaurants around the town, and plenty of good walks down to the river. Great place to stay.
House was excellent very comfortable & extremely clean. Lovely extra's fresh flowers nice soap in all bathrooms. We chose a good weekend as the castle was holding a music festival, the atmosphere was very lively and enjoyable. Jono called in on the evening of our arrival to make sure everything was ok for us and checked on one of the bedrooms to make sure a repair that needed doing had been completed. He also gave us some tips on where to eat one being the Angel which we thoroughly enjoyed. The stay was enjoyed by all the family and we would consider returning again.
Rosemary
Very central position with a lovely view from the front and surrounded by interesting old houses. House was immaculate and immediately inviting. This is the second time we have stayed in it, the other properties we have stayed in in Ludlow have all been good, but we like this one the best.
Patricia
Comfortable, clean and characterful old house situated ideally in a central part of Ludlow. Private secure parking. Close to the castle, shops and market. Suited our three generational family perfectly. Helpful and friendly owner. Would love to stay again.
Virginia
For a start the 3pm arrival was so much better than the usual 4pm. Meant time to settle in and familiarise. Straight away the house felt homey. The kitchen was very well equipped great to have two fridges, a gas hob and easy to operate oven. Enough glasses, crockery and cutlery for 12 so no need to keep washing up. Plenty of serving dishes, pans and utensils. The beds were all comfy and with quality, soft linen. The bathrooms and loos were all lovely. Plenty of space in the house for privacy and peace if desired. The lounge was spacious and comfy though the cream sofa and armchair were a bit too soft for anyone with a sensitive back.The gas fire was easy to use and warmed the room quickly. The courtyard garden was a lovely haven for us though set up as a dining area rather than seating as seen on the photos. The secure parking was superb and very handy. The Blue Boar beer garden wasnt noisy and offered a convenient short cut home. The situ of the house was so convenient for the shops and markets making top up shopping very easy. Would we recommend this house and look to use it again? 100 Yes
Wonderful house and location. Highly recommend
This was a great house in a fantastic position in Ludlow. We all really enjoyed our holiday. Proper Sky on TV unlike most holiday lets which just provide freeview. Special mention for the internet, it was fully up to the task of coping with six phones and tablets. Again most holiday lets just provide a basic slow speed internet. All good.
Dinham Court is a beautiful house, spacious and well equipped. The location overlooking the castle in the middle of town was perfect for us, a short walk to the market square, shops and pubs. Also lovely slightly longer walks to the river which were great for the dog.
Frances
A lovely property and perfect for inter generational holidays. It was made even more perfect by having a dog proof garden. The owner ensured we had everything we needed and did all he could to make our holiday perfect. The gated parking was a huge bonus as Ludlow is not easy to park and being close to the Castle, river, Whitcliffe and the shops and market was exceptional. As a Ludlovian returning home with my family and friends this house was everything and more. As Arnie said.we will be back !!!!
Once we gained entry into Dinham Court there were no further problems. Lovely house in a lovely location.
There were seven of us the house swallowed us up in warmth and comfort. An elegant building with some beautiful pieces of traditional furniture it nevertheless had a modern and well equipped kitchen. Its location, in a quiet road just a across from the castle and yards from the market square and shops, was perfect. We were sad when it was time to leave and look forward to returning.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location couldn't be better with the castle accross the road, and pubs shops and restaurants only a few minutes walk away. Having secure parking for 2 cars was a real bonus too. The house had been empty a few weeks before our mid January but was lovely and cosy once it warmed up. The kitchen is well equipped and the ovens are fab. Despite being in the centre of town, it was very quiet and we all slept well. Would love to stay in the summer to make use of the outdoor space.
Pauline
Our second time staying at Dinham House and we had a lovely relaxing week. Its nice to unpack then leave the car parked up for the week. Everything you need is on the doorstep. Lots of nice places to eat and interesting shops and the market to explore. Dinham House is spacious clean and very comfortable and has all the facilities needed. We are already looking forward to our next visit
Antony
A lovely characterful property in the heart of Ludlow. Dinham Court was a great place to stay, handy to all the many amenities that the town offered and all within a short walk. There was a great choice of walks local to the area too, as you immediately left the front door. We had a great time at Dinham Court & Ludlow.a real treat! Thank you.
We loved it, a home from home, everything that you would need. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen are 2nd visit and it was perfect again. Brilliant having the parking spaces.
This was an excellent property. It was very well placed for the centre of Ludlow with all its restaurants and markets, yet in a quiet enough area not to be disturbed at night. The many walks available from the front door are an excellent bonus and we only needed to use the car once during our week stay. Good train service from Ludlow station we used it to visit Shrewsbury fascinating historic town. As a group of very old! friends, we rent holiday houses regularly in order to meet up and catch up and we all agree that this has been one of the best!
Just got back from a wonderful stay at Dinham Court. The location is perfect and the parking is an added bonus. The house itself is beautiful. So many great features and the fire in the lounge is amazing! Loved the little touches like fresh flowers and the milk, thank you. Would recommend to anyone and were hoping to book again soon!
Catherine
One of the best places we stayed. Lovely house, great location so close to the castle and market. House was well equipped and very comfortable and we loved curling up by the fire with a book.
Christine
Lovely house in the middle of Ludlow, great coffee and cakes at the cafe in the church. Lovely place to be if you want to unwind and relax.
Lovely house. Comfortable and warm. Plenty of bathrooms. Great position for both town and country walks. Lots to do and see in and around Ludlow. Excellent parking arrangements. Already planning coming back next year.
