Ludlow is overshadowed by its own majestic castle, as it was once, like York, a seat of Government in Tudor and Stuart England. Now hosting the famous food festivals and events throughout the year, there is always a lively atmosphere in the town. It has a reputation for fine foods, award-winning restaurants, speciality and antique shops and even a racecourse.
There are public paths from the property which guests can use to walk into the town or to visit one of the many pubs or restaurants. An excellent base to explore the unrivalled countryside for picnicking and walking, or nearby towns such as Bridgnorth and Bewdley (Severn Valley Railway), Ironbridge, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Tenbury Wells and Leominster.
The cathedral city of Hereford with its chained library and Mappa Mundi are all within a short drive, as are historic houses such as Witley Court, Berrington Hall, Croft Castle, Stokesay Castle and Powis Castle on the Welsh borders. Acton Scott, an historic working farm and the Secret Hills Discovery Centre are all just a few of the nearby attractions, so you will never be short of something to see. Pub within 1 mile.

Perfect secluded Property Country views, only a short distance into local town. Plenty to see and keep yourself occupied within 45mins drive or a pub and restaurant a short walk / drive with good food. All in all a nice relaxing week away. Highly recommend to anyone that likes peace and quiet

The house was beautifully decorated & clean, with a fully equiped kitchen. The location was fantastic & peaceful.Our hostess was very friendly & responded quickly to our enquiry.A great place to stay for a long weekend.The walk into Ludlow was about 20 minutes & perfectly doable but some of it was across meadows & the verges on the main road were overgrown, so not great if dressed up for an evening out.Ubers are few & far between at the weekend!

This is a fantastic holiday home. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped with everything you could want, comfy beds and luxurious bathrooms. The location is perfect - uninterrupted countryside views, cows grazing on the other side of the fence, and a big, airy garden with plenty of shade. Definitely one of the top two cottages we have ever stayed in (which is well over 50 in all!)
