Set at the heart of charming Ludlow, this picturesque cottage is just the place for a relaxing break. Characterised by original wooden beams and a traditional timber and brick exterior, this Grade II listed cottage is a delightful base for up to four humans and one hound. Sniff out the best walks across the Shropshire countryside, bask in the sunshine on the banks of the River Teme, and experience the rolling calendar of events this delightful market town is famous for.

 

Enter via the first floor ready to wipe your paws and unwind in style, curling up in the cosy lounge. Plush sofas, antique furniture and lots of decorative decor provide a comfortable setting for fireside snoozes, or select a book from the study and relax with a glass of wine in hand. Downstairs, the contemporary kitchen and dining room are ideal for enjoying simple breakfasts or extravagant feasts. Banish the worry of muddy paws with a quick pup clean-up in the utility room before retiring to bed, choosing from two gorgeous bedrooms on the second floor – there’s also a fabulous bathroom for a pre-bedtime soak. Outside, pretty plants surround the courtyard garden and there is roadside parking subject to availability, with a parking permit for one car.

 

Stroll through the town to marvel at its historic architecture, admiring the pretty shops with their traditional timber-fronted exteriors, and pausing to admire the majestic 11th-century castle. Tempt your taste buds with delicious local produce at one of the many friendly restaurants and eateries, and perhaps even take a tour of the iconic brewery. Keen walkers and gentle amblers alike will fall in love with the fantastic scenery of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which can be easily accessed within 8 miles.

I enjoyed my short break at The Manse - everything was exceptionally clean and the little courtyard was an added bonus - although there were strong protests to our presence from nesting blackbirds!

Perfect place to stay in the middle of the town, with a caring & friendly owner. So comfortable and well maintained, I only wish the weather had been better for us to be able to enjoy the courtyard.

A beautiful, cosy cottage in a perfect location in Ludlow. Close to the market, castle, pubs and shops. A lovely patio garden. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property in an excellent location for exploring Ludlow & surrounding areas. Very clean & quiet and the free parking was a welcome bonus. Great to be able to access pubs and restaurants on foot in the evenings and enjoy good food and a few pints. Owner is very welcoming and friendly. Dog friendly but bear in mind there is no grass in the gardRead moreen so if you have a fussy pup, you'll need to have plenty of walks (the park area by the castle is very close by for morning/evening businesses).

Cottage was loverly . Extremely clean . Loverly bath towels and bedding good quality. Comfy sofa and bed . Parking was 5 mins away from cottage . The negatives for me are , think more kitchen equipment would be helpful eg grill pan for oven there was only 1 roasting tin . More baking trays so you could cook chips or roast potatoes as well as somethRead moreing else . Maybe some new mugs as some had chips in them . But overhaul we enjoyed our stay at The Manse would we stay here again yes we would. Hide

This cottage is in an excellent location right in the centre of Ludlow. The owner was welcoming. It was great to have a parking permit and we were able to find a parking space close by each day, a real bonus. The cottage was warm and comfortable, ideal for a winter visit.

Over the years I have rented a number of holiday homes but this must be the best one ! The cottage is extremely well located and within easy reach of shops restaurants etc . The place itself is absolutely beautiful and very spacious - it even has a reading room ! The kitchen is a good size and has all the necessary appliances thus making meal timesRead more easy. We certainly hope to return in the near future . Hide
