Relaxing weekend

We are a group of friends, and the house is very spacious. We had 2 couples. The rest of us were singles, so we all had a room each. Wheelchair friendly, which we needed. Kitchen is very nice to work in.

Reduced family group

Having stayed several times at no 51 Ludlow and knowing the previous owners of 53, we knew the area well and were anxious to share our previous happy times there with our UK family. Unfortunately because of a single member testing positive on our day of occupancy six members had to abort. Our son and his three children were already on their way so they continued on and enjoyed a great property. His only comment was that the dishes, on first use, were gritty, as if washed with no dishwasher detergent. Regardless they had a great time. A shame that the others missed out and that no refund is possible. Lisa, your communication was great. Thanks.
