“Four of us stayed at the property, there was ample room.”

It was very comfortable. We slept extremely well even allowing for the 'health and safety' lighting at night. Everything was there that we needed including a musical washing machine

“Fantastic accommodation and in such a beautiful setting.”

The layout works perfectly, everything is spotlessly clean and all the equipment first class. We felt right at home immediately. Watching lambs being born from the lounge window was an unexpected highlight! Wonderful local walks around Downton and some great places to visit. Ludlow is a gem of a place as are Stokesay Castle, Powis Castle, Ironbridge and the quite brilliant fish and chip shop in Leintwardine!

- Andrew, April 2025

Oh I’m so glad you were here during lambing season! They are so funny to watch in the field by The Coach House. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave these comments and I’m thrilled you enjoyed your fish and chips! Property Owner

“3 night short break, fantastic place, great location just 3 miles from Ludlow, absolute peace and quiet, lovely south facing terrace over open fields.”

Apartment was immaculate, comfy sofas, well equipped modern kitchen, heating was brilliant, showers very hot, lovely fluffy towels and top quality bed linens and pillows, this place is amazing, lots of local information, plus nature books. Big crusty load, shortbread, fudge, tea, coffee, sugar welcome pack. Thanks for a great stay.

“The Coach House was one of the best holiday apartments that we have stayed in!”

Set in beautiful countryside, the property is superb. So much thought has been given to everything within the property. The bed linen and towels were of an exceptional quality and all fixtures and fittings were of a high standard. The bed was extremely comfy and the two en-suites were delightful (again very clean and of a high standard).The cleanliness was superb with a lot of attention to detail. Kitchen had an abundance of equipment. There is emergency lighting which I know some people from the reviews found it a bit annoying to have the green light at night in the bedroom, but for us it didn’t affect the quality of our sleep whatsoever and it is there following the latest regulations. We can highly recommend The Lion at Leintwardine for superb food and ambience. There is nothing to fault whatsoever in the property and we will definitely be returning.

- Amelia, February 2025

Wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We love The Lion at Leintwardine too! We look forward to seeing you next time. Thanks again. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our at the coach house immensely.”

Everything we needed was catered for. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The bedding and towels were top quality and the beds were very comfortable. It is very well appointed and the space is used very well. We would recommend the coach house to anyone in a heartbeat. By far the best accomadation we have stayed in. Nice and peaceful.

“We really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House.”

Lovely views and nice seating area outside. Very relaxing place to stay. Rural location but easy to get to, close to Ludlow Farm shop which was very useful both for shopping and cafe. Hope to return.

- Kathy, September 2024

“What a superb property!”

We had an outstanding stay in The Coach House. Very fresh and well appointed, clean and had everything we could possibly need. Well designed, comfortable and high quality. Would suggest some cushions for the bench outside. Many thanks for providing an excellent place to stay in wonderful countryside. We will return!

- Christopher, August 2024

Wow! Thank you so much for this amazing feedback. Cushions are on order; thanks for the comments and we look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“The Coach House The Coach House was very clean and well equipped.”

The bedding was immaculate and the beds very comfortable. We did find, however, that because the glass in the picture window in the living room had no heat reflecting capabilities and there were no blinds, the window was facing the sun all afternoon and the property became uncomfortably hot, even with all the windows open, and stayed so all night. Perhaps blinds could be fitted or a fan provided? Our other small issue was outside lighting. On the first night the outside “up and down lights” on the property kept flicking on and off, all night, for no apparent reason. This wouldn’t have been a problem but for the fact that a light unit had been fitted directly underneath each bedroom window so they kept shining through the curtains. The second day we played with the unmarked switches by the door and it seemed to be better but there didn’t seem to be a way of just turning it off. Stable cottage, next door, and very close, though not visible in the photos or mentioned in the description, and had multiple outside LED lights. One of their floodlights was pointed at the bedroom on the one end of the Coach House and on the second night that was flashing on and off, again, all night for no apparent reason. It was like being next to a light house! Luckily it was off for the third and final night. It also had windows above and overlooking the bedroom so we felt obliged to keep the curtains shut all the time. I would have mentioned these minor points to the owners/manager but nobody met us on the first day or made contact during our stay. I fully appreciate some guests may not be bothered by these issues but we found it too warm and too bright at night. So overall, a lovely property in a great location but we wouldn’t return due to the aforementioned issues.

- Hugh, August 2024

Thank you so much for your comments; we really appreciate the effort and time taken to leave feedback. We are thrilled with your comments about the bedding and beds as this was important to us when preparing The Coach House. We did deliberate about a blind for the large window; however, we did not wish to detract from the view and so a fan would be a useful addition. Thank you. We are glad you had some good weather on your visit! We shall label the lights in the hallway. One of them is indeed for the outside lights. However, they are motion sensored to provide lighting when guests are leaving or entering the property in the dark as we have no street lighting. We are unsure about your comment about the windows on Stable Cottage. There are skylights in the roof of Stable Cottage which are above head height and do not look onto The Coach House. We have removed some branches from Stable Cottage which it seems were triggering the motion sensor on their security lights. Again, thank you for highlighting this. We do not make a point of meeting our guests as many like to enjoy their own privacy; however, we often see guests when out and about. We are sorry we did not get a chance to meet you as we were taking our family holiday at the time of your stay. Again, can we say how much we appreciate you taking the time to leave these comments which will help us maintain a wonderful getaway for our guests. Property Owner
