Escape to the historic town of Ludlow where you’ll find an abundance of places to enjoy walks with your dog and eateries to whet your appetite afterwards. Brimming with charm, character and rustic features such as exposed beams, ornamental fireplaces and wooden floors, this Grade II-listed townhouse is a wonderful home in which to relax after adventurous days chasing sticks in Mortimer Forest (3 miles) and exploring the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Admire the traditional charm and character of this home which was built in 1713 and maintains many of its original features. Spend time with a cup of tea in the spacious kitchen/diner and cook up tasty treats for everyone on the AGA – perfect for slow-cooked, flavoursome feasts. Views from this room reach over the garden and the dining table sits near the pretty, ornamental fireplace with space for those with four paws to keep you company on the cosy rug. Enjoy after-dinner drinks in the gorgeous garden which is enclosed so your pups can chase their tails safely whilst you bask in the fresh air. Take care of the external steps and admire the blossoming wisteria during spring/summer before heading to bed in one of three pretty bedrooms. There is a handy family room with a double and single bed on the second floor and a quirky double with sloping ceilings, a splash of zesty colour and a TV/DVD on the fourth floor.
Visit Ludlow’s weekly food market to pick up goodies or coincide your trip with the annual Food Festival in September and spend days trawling the treats. With an abundance of glorious places to explore close to home, embark on exciting walks with your tail-wagging companion and head out for a waterside stroll along the River Teme, a stick chase in Mortimer Forest (3 miles) or to the National Trust’s dog-friendly Berrington Hall.
