Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"A lovely, bright & spacious house with comfortable beds and good shower."
10-15 min walk to Ludlow town centre.
Excellent communication with the owner and very helpful information & recommendations thoughtfully provided in the Info book at the house.
Well equipped kitchen and good facilities.
The only things we missed/couldn't locate was a clothes airer (raining so couldn't use outdoor line and didn't want to tumble dry certain items) and a cafetiere (ground coffee we had wasn't suitable for the percolator). The TV reception wasn't great - Freeview/Freesat didn't work at all on either TV, regardless of the weather, and the Sky box had limited channels that scrambled quite a few times. Would suggest packing a Chromecast or similar to stream off your phone instead as the WiFi was very good.
These are all nitpicks though, we would very happily stay again!
Thank you for your suggestions. We have now provided a cafetiere and have taken out a Sky streaming subscription in the lounge to avoid the local TV reception issues.

"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!
Thank you - we always welcome suggestions for improvement. Previously, we had only provided a vacuum cleaner for 2 week stays, but have now provided one at all times. We have also provided a steamer as a good addition to the available equipment (we provide multiple saucepans, frying pans and oven dishes). As illustrated in the photographs, Harris House has a large and spacious kitchen with good space on the worktops to prepare food (plus some empty cupboards in which guests can store their supplies / shopping - so often missing in holiday cottages). We wish to preserve the space available to guests and so have decided against providing the other suggested kitchen gadgets.

"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.

The historic market town of Ludlow is situated on the River Teme, amidst the outstanding countryside of the Welsh Marches. With more than 500 listed buildings, the town provides a fascinating range of architecture including Ludlow Castle which is over 900 years old and is one of the first stone castles to be built in England. Today the castle is open all year round and hosts a wide range of events including outdoor theatre, food, art and literature festivals and many antique and art fairs. Below the castle, Millenium Green offers a large public riverside green and weir and provides excellent indoor and outdoor dining facilities via the Green Cafe located right on the riverside. Ludlow has held street markets since the twelfth century. Nowadays, a traditional open-air market takes place in the town square every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday throughout the year. More than forty stalls selling a range of goods including fresh produce, cheeses, books and a selection of local crafts are on offer with the 'Local to Ludlow' produce market some Thursdays and an Antique & Flea market some Sundays. Ludlow is also a gourmet’s paradise and a shopper’s dream. The town boasts many places to eat and drink, as well as a number of exclusive boutique style clothes and gift shops. Ludlow is within easy reach of Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Hereford, as well as popular attractions such as World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge, Severn Valley Railway, Berrington Hall, Croft Castle and Cardingmill Valley. Ludlow is a superb destination for a relaxing all year-round break.
