We loved our stay here; it was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. After a hiccup with getting into the property which was totally the agents fault, our hosts were helpful and friendly as I’m sure they would have been anyway! We are definitely planning to return!
This is great, right in the centre and some lovely walks from the doorstep.
Amazing apartment we loved everu monute of being there, it was lovely and cosy and we loved the big table to play games and have a group breakfast tohether.
Would definitely recomend this place.
Lovely property, great location, really comfortable place. We've had a great stay. Ludlow is a really great place, loads of fantastic eateries.One minor suggestion is for a bedside lamp in the 1st upstairs bedroom (one of our party loves reading and struggled without one)
Property was excellently placed for a stay in Ludlow, we had a lovely time and found our stay relaxing.
Permit parking provided by the owner was really helpful and we managed to park near the property each evening.
Overall a great, quirky and comfortable place to stay for a few days.
The location is two mins walk from the highstreet making it easy to wander round the shops and grab a drink or food without going too far.
The apartment is stunning, such a great layout and enough space for everyone.
We would definitely choose here again next time we're in the beautiful Ludlow.

Thankyou so much for your wonderful review- we are delighted you would choose to stay here again if you visit Ludlow. 🙂
We loved this well equipped apartment, there were just 4 of us, so we had a choice of beds from the 3 doubles & the twin room. The apartment was in a perfect location to explore Ludlow.The welcome pack was a lovely touch and to have hand soap, toilet paper, kitchen paper & coffee left for us was a very welcome touch. The host was in contact with us leading up to and during our visit.We recommend this apartment fir friends, couples and families.
The Old Firehouse is very welcoming, warm and comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all good. Very easy access to the town for anything you need. Charlene is a fabulous host, thank you!
Fabulously decorated apartment in the centre of Ludlow. Well positioned and extremely warm, comfortable and fabulously decorated. We will definitely go back.

Thankyou so much for choosing to stay at The Old Fire Station .. we are delighted you would like to return in the future 🙏🏻
Perfect location, great for going the races and beautiful little town centre. Property owners could not of been more helpful, nothing was to much trouble.
Our top priority was location in town and family space to cook, play games and spend time together. This home delivered top marks!
Ludlow is a wonderful destination, wish we could have stayed longer.
This house was walking distance to everything, great for us and our adult children that wanted to go out independently for food, drinks and shopping.
The Old Fire Station was very clean and comfortable. It had every thing we needed for our week stay. Charlene was very good at communicating and responded quickly to inquiries. We didn’t get to see as much of the Shopshire area as we would have liked, so hope to be returning on another trip and hope The Old Fire Station is available.
Great property even though the 4th bedroom was a challenge due to access only through other bedrooms and as an apartment no outside space. Kitchen well equipped and 2 superb living areas including a table that comfortably seats 8
May well return as so well located & presented
immaculate spacious perfect stay. Fantastic style! Brilliant host no problems whatsoever. Response to anything spot on. Thank you ☺️

We loved our stay at The Old Fire station. We stayed for a family gathering, and it was perfectly sized, spacious with 2 seating areas, a dining area and a small but well-equipped kitchen area in between.
One of the best things was it's location - we all travelled by train from various locations and the flat was only a 10 minute walk. Charlene also messaged on the night before we checked out to say that we could have a late check out and this made the world of difference to us, as we could all spend a bit more time together without rushing off.
Everything then was walkable from the flat - we had food from nearby 'sourCed' one night on a recommendation. Supermarket was nearby, as well as a couple of convenience shops. We had a nice walk around the town, the market - down past the castle to the river.
A really enjoyable stay and would happily recommend it to others.
Fantastic location , quirky building with lots of space. Few niggles to help improve for future. Not clear from details that middle bedroom accessed through one or other upstairs rooms. It was ok for us but may be an issue for others. Kitchen had limited equipment eg no colander or sieve, no fish slice. Lighting in dining room a bit harsh so some lamps would be a good addition. Dirty baking trays in oven when we arrived. Piano needs tuning which was a shame as we had an excellent pianist with us. Not to say we wouldn’t go back - just keen to help improve.

Hi Mike
Thankyou for your review -
I’m so sorry that the baking sheets were forgotten.
This is a complete oversight as we had used a different housekeeper for that changeover as our usual one was on holiday.
I will also add a colander and fish slice straight away to the kitchen equipment.
Re the lamps I will definitely invest in some as this is a very good point!
I will also get a tuning booked in asap as I haven’t played it for sometime so was unaware it was due.
The bedroom layout is described in the listing so I’m sorry if this wasnt clear.
We are however delighted you are considering returning in the future.
Best wishes
Charlene and Oscar
Easy to book. Great communication with owner. All the facilities we needed, coffee machine, hairdryers etc. Gorgeous property - much nicer than the house I live in.
