Non-smokers only. this property provides very comfortable, tranquil holiday accommodation, yet lies just one mile from the centre of the historic town of Ludlow. With the beautiful hills of South Shropshire framing the town, Ludlow is a gem. Described by the poet John Betjeman as "The loveliest town in England", Ludlow is renowned for its narrow streets and pretty black and white half-timbered buildings, the most famous of which is the amazing Feathers Hotel with its extraordinarily ornate wooden facade. Standing in the centre of the town in an elevated setting above the River Teme is the splendid medieval ruin of Ludlow Castle, which plays host to open-air theatre during the Ludlow Festival in June and July as well as being the main venue for the internationally acclaimed Ludlow Festival of Food and Drink in September. Renowned for its food and with two award winning restaurants, Ludlow can boast more Michelin stars than anywhere outside London. Ludlow is often known as the Capital of the Marches and the surrounding countryside bears testimony to the turbulent past of this area with a wealth of castles and several magnificent National Trust properties to visit. This is a fantastic area for walking and cycling with the Long Mynd, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, twenty minutes to the north, Offa's Dyke less than thirty minutes to the west, and Hay-on-Wye and the Black Mountains under an hour away. Also, the Mortimer Trail long distance footpath between Ludlow and Kington starts within one mile of the property in the centre of Ludlow.
