A MAJOR refurbishment has been completed at a hotel in Ludlow.

The 41-room property located on Foldgate Lane, which opened in 2006, has been changed to provide a new look and improved accommodation.

It took less than a week to complete and is part of a £57 million nationwide programme that the company is currently undertaking.

The new modern Travelodge style includes new rooms, bar café and reception areas.

"Our hotel has been totally transformed following the revamp and customers are telling us they love our new look,” said Catherine Wilding, hotel manager at the Ludlow Travelodge.

“With more business and leisure travellers visiting the area, the demand for good value accommodation is rising at pace."

The modernisation programme at Ludlow also includes a complete revamp of all public areas within the hotel.
