The historic medieval market town of Ludlow is situated on the River Teme, amongst the outstanding countryside of the Welsh Marches.

A very comfortable flat, close to shops / amenities and the owners were lovely and welcoming.. We appreciated the extras such as washing up liquid, toilet rolls, nice bed linen. Thanks for the delicious cakes as well. There is a lovely outlook over the river and Stokesay castle in the distance. It was also nice to see their shy little pony in its stable close to where we parked. Staying here we were able to explore lots of lovely places such as Shrewsbury, church Stretton, bishops castle, Powis castle, ellesmere lakes & canals and so much more. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We wanted a base for this part of the country, to visit the hills, mountains and small towns in Hereford, Shropshire and into Wales.. The welcome was very friendly, and Karen and Elwyn made the stay most enjoyable - not forgetting Molly the lovely pony in her stable - opposite our window. We look forward to going back next year.
