We would heartily recommend The Charlton Arms. It gets 5 stars from us!

Pros: There is plenty of parking. The location on the banks of the river Teme is stunning. There are beautiful views across to the medieval town of Ludlow. The staff were all lovely and made us feel very welcome. The room was spacious with a spectacular view. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. It was great to have a bath too. The room temperature was perfect which led to a great nights sleep. The decor was very tasteful and we especially loved the dining room. We had a three course meal and a bottle of wine for a very reasonable price. The menu was great with fresh local choices available. Likewise the breakfast was delicious with a lovely local walk suggestion added to the menu. We followed the suggested route and had a lovely scenic tour of Ludlow. Wish we had been able to stay longer.

Cons: We have nothing negative to say.

Nice location and staff for our short break in Ludlow.

Pros: Good location by the river. Good parking. Nice cozy feel in the bar / lounge area and restaurant. Restaurant has nice view of the river. Evening meal food was OK. Breakfast was very good. Small bedroom with small en-suite but adequate for our 1 night stay. Good coffee machine in the room with drinking water and coffee/tea/biscuits. TV. Very good staff and service. Very helpful.

Cons: Minor points only. Mattress was very firm (for us) and the double bed felt small. Access to the shower cubical would be a challenge for any “portly” person.

Ian 8/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Great, but overpriced, accommodation, great staff, and great location.

Pros: The location next to the river, but only a short walk from the town was excellent. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable.

Cons: The partridge I had for the evening meal was overcooked, dry and very, very tough. There was no point sending it back that would have meant my wife ate on her own and then I would have eaten on my own and on her birthday I didn’t want that to happen.
