Situated on the River Teme amongst the countryside of the Welsh Marches is the market town of Ludlow. With nearly 500 listed buildings, Ludlow's medieval street pattern remains almost intact, providing a unique backdrop for the town's street markets.

Ludlow is renowned for its shopping, with a number of high quality antique and craft shops, along with several Michelin-starred restaurants, numerous tea-shops and pubs. The castle itself is over 900 years old and the Linney Riverside Park provides boat hire, a putting green and children's play area.

Karl
Easily located within a few minutes of the town centre. Three generous bedrooms (2 double and a twin) with plenty of storage. Living room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen and twin on the ground with two doubles and toilet on the first floor. Kitchen and utility provide pretty much all facilities and equipment needed. Drive big enough for two or three cars. Nice gardens to the front and rear with seating. All in all a great property in a good location. Close to railway station (although uphill) and easy to access main roads for travel.

It's also close to the railway station. The off road parking is handy as parking is not easy in Ludlow. The house is well maintained and comfy. We've stayed quite a few times.

Very clean and comfortable, plenty of parking and close to the town centre. The owners are very helpful and quick to respond. We have stayed here before and will again. Ludlow is a pretty town with great cafes, restaurants and pubs. The castle and church are very interesting and there are many beautiful buildings.
