  So Glad we found Harris House, Ludlow.

  Wanted to take my 83 year old father away for a relaxing week as he had been poorly. Luckily we picked the Early May Bank holiday that was the hottest on Record. Our family has never rented a holiday home before so we really did not know what to expect. I am now afraid, because our expectations were exceeded, Harris House has now set the Gold standard bar for future holiday lets in other destinations. In fact – we may not go elsewhere and carry on going to Ludlow every year because this house had everything and our time spent there was lovely and relaxing. The owners sent a lovely email a few weeks before our due date (05.05.18 - 12.05.18), and from the tone of that you could tell that nothing was a problem – just to contact them had you any concerns. I want to repeat everything everyone has complimented and mentioned on the sykes cottage website, i.e Spotless, quiet location, stones throw away from Ludlow town, handy to A49 to reach other desitnations, household kit / appliances to very good standard, everything to hand, everything thought of. It also felt actually felt very homely and very peaceful. You did not feel out of place or scared to move. My father has difficulties with his mobility - but this house was perfect for anyone with these issues as everything was spaced out and it was not cluttered, so nothing to bang into and the stairs had a solid banister to help him. The shower was a power shower – so that made me very happy, and the view when doing the dishes out the window – money could not buy. Even doing dishes made me happy that week. It truly is a great place to stay.

  We arrived late Thursday evening and was greeted by the hosts/owners of the barn a fabulous couple that really care about your stay and experience.

  They even helped us in with luggage etc.. the barn is amazing, everything that you need, very, very, very clean and very well maintained. Ample hot water, all things you would need home from home. The barn is situated just outside Ludlow which is a fab market town, and within an hour of Worcester / Hereford etc. The gardens of the barn are amazing all very peaceful and tranquil to relax after a busy day out and about. Ample car parking. We had a dog with us that loved the barn and the driveway down as grassed area to smell and walk overlooking a fishing lake. All very private and very perfect. If you book the barn don’t use the postcode as it will take you miles down a one car track, go to cravens arms first then put the postcode in, which the host told us when we arrived, I wouldn’t worry about the track either as the track only houses 4-6 houses and you would go down the track to anywhere else, in other words you don’t meet traffic. All very, very perfect, I wish the hosts best of luck. And many thanks for our short notice stay.

  Property states for 6 people.

  But only has four chairs in kitchen so if there are more than 4 of you will have to have meals will have to be staggers. The misleading details state three bathrooms there are only two. The shower upstairs which is so small if you are over 6ft is not fit for purpose. The other “bathroom” is in fact just a toilet with no shower or bath. The one downstairs is the size of a cupboard and smelt of damp and had silver fish in it. The height of the rooms are not mentioned in the details but if you are over 5”10 and normal stand to use the loo you can’t you will have to sit down !! The carpets were dirty in the en-suite and the decor dated. The 93rd birthday week that we were celebrating was ruined we had no alternative but to find a more suitable property the next day. But have been refused any refund or compensation. It’s only right that if anyone is thinking of booking that the photos and descriptions are not correct

  This house is a really lovely place to go on holiday.

  It had everything you would need and was extremely spacious and comfortable and very well equipped. The garden was fantastic, I met the gardener and had a nice chat with him about the plants. It's a great place to sit out in on a sunny day and even has some herbs you can use for cooking. We would definitely recommend Harris House to anyone wanting to visit Ludlow. The local area is great, it has got castles, a market, museums and good walks, as well as all the local amenities and a market and good restaurants. We went to Hay on Wye for the day which was absolutely wonderful for people who love books. Also my partner found a great vinyl shop in Ludlow that he says is worth visiting if that is your thing. Overall we would recommend this holiday cottage without hesitation, as well as the area. It would suit families with younger children and older family groups as well.

  We had a great week and this is our fourth visit to Harris House.

  The hosts are always prompt to respond to any matter raised and are extremely well organised when it comes to arranging arrival details etc. The house is in a very central area and very quiet. I do feel that the kitchen can be improved by the addition of a slow cooker, air fryer/ steamer and mini food processor. Ludlow is famous for food and with increasing costs this would help families with their budget on holiday. Also, as the house can take six guests a four slice toaster would be a good idea too. A vacuum cleaner would be a good idea as well. I would certainly encourage a visit to Harris House. The views are fantastic. The heating system is both efficient and easy to use. There are always plenty of towels and tea towels available for use and loads of crockery. There are also a number of house keys and window keys . Book early. Many of us come back!
