Very comfortably furnished throughout with 100% pure cotton bed linen, the cottage provides spacious, contemporary accommodation ideal for a get-together with family and friends in a beautiful area. The large central hallway provides access to the ground floor accommodation, including a well-equipped dining kitchen, a separate dining room ideal for enjoying entertaining evenings with friends, and a sumptuous sitting room with original wooden floor and complete with a coal-effect electric fire, perfect for those chilly evenings. A twin bedroom and bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are two bright and comfortable bedrooms both offering king-size beds, and a separate first floor cloakroom. At the rear of the cottage is a south-facing enclosed garden with a covered patio area directly outside, a lawned garden and ample storage for bikes. The outside space is perfect for enjoying alfresco dining or a morning coffee whilst planning the day's activities. A short walk takes you into the centre of Ludlow, which boasts a fascinating 11th century castle, tea rooms, individual shops and a Michelin-starred restaurant. The nearby towns of Shrewsbury, Hereford and Church Stretton all make a great day out, as well as the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge and Severn Valley Railway. An ideal base for a memorable holiday at any time of year.
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. These events take place beneath the impressive castle and showcase a range of local goods - from cheeses and fresh produce to books and crafts. 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. Ludlow is within easy reach of Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Hereford, as well as popular attractions such as Ironbridge Gorge, Severn Valley Railway and Berrington Hall.

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!
