An English Country Garden

That would nearly be the whole countryside, sooo pretty. We travelled to Ludlow for a night staying in an hotel just 10 mins walk out of town. Strangest stay, we were booked in, given a key, told where our room was and what time the bar opened....7pm. That was going to be a spot late for us, so we wandered into town in search of refreshment. Nice little place, Ludlow, supposed to be a foodie heaven, but we didn't see much evidence of that, still we found a friendly beer garden and the sun was shining.

Breakfast the next morning was terrific, locally sourced produce which was tasty as. Strange part kicks in now...when you check out, you put your key in a basket and walk out the door. Nobody 'persons' the desk, nobody says 'Bye now' or 'Hope you enjoyed your stay'. You leave having had a good stay but feeling a little empty.....except for breakfast!
