The farmhouse itself is lovely, very warm, clean and comfortable and Charmaine and Chris couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly and breakfast was fresh and plentiful. I would love an excuse to stay there again. The only thing I would say to anyone planning to stay here is that you probably need to use a GPS unit to find it: it is right at the end of a very twisting single-track road but my old unit found it from the postcode without any problem.

Harts Lane is so narrow, my partner hesitated pulling our car into the lane and then really had second thoughts about pulling into the tiny parking area. I was too busy loving everything I could see to care about that! Then, we walked into the bed and breakfast, where an out-of-breath Linda Smith greeted us warmly and apologized for not being ready. We didn't mind. After all, there were TWO pubs in one TINY village! ;) When we returned from our obligatory pub visit, Linda led us upstairs and to our room. Do you know how sometimes places look clean but don't smell clean? This clean room smelled GREAT! Then, I went into the bathroom. It was completely remodeled and very modern. I was in heaven! A quaint, clean bedroom with a clean modern shower! There was even a place for me to sit down in the bedroom and put on my makeup. I decided to use it for sitting down and reading a daily devotional, but just having this wonderful space was a plus. Did I mention there was a fireplace? The next morning, Linda cooked us "whatever we wanted." My partner happily ordered sausage and eggs, and I ordered bacon and eggs. While we waited, I looked around the family dining room. There were wonderful family pictures--Linda and Ian Smith's wedding pictures, their children, etc. My partner meanwhile marveled at his freshly squeezed orange juice and some of the woodwork in the room. Then, the food came. The bacon was the size of 4 American slices stuck together but a lot thicker. Everything was delicious, but after we ate, we felt like we needed a nap! If you go to this area of England, stay here! The Smiths are very congenial people, their accommodations are clean, their food is outstanding, and the village is picturesque. You'll swear you're in a movie.

Located only a short walk (no more than 10 minutes) from the centre of Ludlow, Whitfield House has…read morea decidedly rustic feel. It has a large, beautifully maintained garden with views of Ludlow Castle and a local church. The garden abuts several green fields, in one of which cows graze. There is a small wooden table and chairs at which it is very pleasant to sit and relax and admire the wonderful view. My friends and I were served morning coffee there. It's all delightfully bucolic. The house itself is a large detached building, circa 1930. There are three spacious bedrooms. I stayed in The Lawrence, which is basically a suite of rooms - a bedroom, a bathroom and a separate toilet - with its own door. It was extremely comfortable, with all mod cons, eg a television and tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast, which is freshly cooked to order and delicious, is served in a room downstairs. The proprietors are very warm and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Prices are very reasonable - I paid £65 a night for sole occupancy of my suite of rooms. Whitfield House is excellent value for money. It's the best B&B establishment I have stayed at (and I've been to a fair few!). I recommend it unreservedly.

A gravelled drive leads you to the front of the house, which is surrounded by mature trees and we were greeted on arrival by the owner's friendly dog 'Rodney Rocket'! After a very welcome cup of tea and piece of cake, the owner talked us through some of the best places to visit or to eat in the area, like the Ludlow Food Centre and the Jolly Frog restaurant; both of which we tried and were well worthy of their recommendation. Our room, the 'Lawrence Room' was quite sizeable, with a separate toilet and bathroom, with a cavernous bath, and the sun-soaked main room, had a feeling of space and a comfortable king size bed. Of course, not forgetting the amazing views, over into the landscaped tiered garden, the rolling fields beyond and Ludlow Castle in the distance. A decent sized TV and a good selection of tea and coffee too. Breakfast was served in an equally impressive room, with wood panel walls and well spaced tables. A great variety of fruit, cereals and fruit juices to start, and then a great Full English Breakfast, making full use of local produce, one of the nicest I've had for some time; the scrambled eggs were particularly fine! The owners and staff were friendly and helpful, and the walk into the centre of Ludlow was just right, at about 10 minutes. Whitfield House is a such a peaceful and restful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life; waking up to just the sound of the birds in the morning was fantastic.

Well here's hoping I get the flowers to my mum-in-law before she reads this, because the lady needs to be thanked heartily. Locking Head Farm B&B deserves so much more than its three accommodation stars. Staying there feels like cosying up in the guest bedroom of a friend's house. The personal touches really make it, from the Cadbury Highlights (my favourite instant hot chocolate) in the tea and coffee making facilities WITH, I might add, a *full-sized* kettle, to the visitor's notebook, to the little brochure they've put together about their farm and the surrounding area, to the breakfast menu where you tick off your choice for the next morning. This is a family run business at its very best, right down to the little kids running about the place and the adorable family dog who will sit quietly next to you while you eat. The eating. Let me get onto that later, it needs an entire paragraph of its own. First of all, the story. So the significant other and I arrived here after a long and tiring journey from Manchester peppered with TalkSport Radio (gah!), argument-inducing car games like shag, cruise or marry, a horribly mediocre falafel panini from a service station Starbucks, far too many wine gums and a couple of disagreements about marriage and tradition. We travelled to these parts to attend a wedding, see. Driving down the farm path in the dark was an interesting experience, and we instantly had flashbacks from several horror movies. The sat nav said, "At the end of the road, turn left." I responded, "At the end of the road, you will see a hooded figure with a scythe." My companion exploded with nervous energy at that statement. However we were welcomed with open gate and open arms and led up to our room, given our breakfast menu to choose from and told to pop down if we needed anything. We were in Mendip. Ladies and gentlemen, this room is HUGE. Easily bigger than a studio apartment, with the softest sheets and towels I've ever had the fortune of laying myself upon or drying my delicate skin with. The TV? Glorious, in the perfect position next to a comfy sofa and lo and behold, Family Guy was on when it came to life. Then Lethal Weapon. I know this wasn't orchestrated by the B&B, but still... So the other half ordered a Full English, myself pancakes. Eggs in the breakfast come from the farm's own chickens, everything's locally sourced, and oh my word, these pancakes. I was silent. Freshly made, drenched in blueberry syrup with ripe warm blueberries scattered on top and stuffed inside. Not only is this included, but you get a bunch of cereals, yoghurts and fruits to choose from and get served hot toast as well as tea or coffee. And the next day after a taxi disaster returning from the wedding when we weren't able to pop anything on the breakfast menu, they served us the same again assuming that's what we'd want. So I got to have those unbelievable pancakes TWICE during my stay. Brilliant staff, great atmosphere, glorious location and reasonably priced - I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone and I'd go back to Weston-Super-Mare specifically for the purpose of staying there. Well done Locking Head Farm. /End uber-long gushing review!
