Ludlow is a thriving market town and an architectural gem, situated above the River Teme and is surrounded by the countryside of south Shropshire, busy throughout the year with events and festivals celebrating food, arts, crafts, theatre, and the showcase for this being the Ludlow Food and Drink Festival held every September. For keen walkers enjoy the Mary Webb Trail, The Shropshire Way and walks in the Mortimer Forest and on the Long Mynd. Shorter strolls are nearby alongside the river and around the medieval castle. If you have time to escape this lovely town, there’s much to see, including Stokesay Castle, Wenlock Priory and Severn Valley Railway along with much else. Behind a traditional brick and stone walled courtyard, the cottage is accessed through a wooden gate into a pretty courtyard garden.

Steps go up to the main hallway on the first floor, and to the study where there is plentiful hanging space for coats and boots. The first floor offers a comfortable lounge, where you can relax in front of the TV after a day exploring or enjoy afternoon tea with a good book and views out onto the courtyard. In the study is a collection of good reads and a desk for the occasional email. The ground floor offers access to a kitchen, finished in a contemporary style, and is equipped with an electric oven and induction hob, a fridge and dishwasher. A utility cupboard holds a washing machine and a tumble dryer, together with a small freezer. The kitchen has a table and chairs where you can enjoy your morning coffee. For more formal dining there is a dining room with table and chairs for four. Also, on the ground floor, is a separate WC. When the day is done, climb the stairs to the second floor where you will find two beautifully finished bedrooms. A double bedroom with exposed beams and views onto the oak framed houses, with Clee Hill in the distance. The twin room also has exposed beams and charming rooftop views. There is a bathroom with shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, the walled courtyard garden has seating and well-stocked borders. There is roadside parking, subject to availability, with a parking permit for one car.

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

Manse cottage is lovely. Warm and cosy with lots of character but also light and airy. The photos do not do it justice. It was spotlessly clean. It is perfectly situated in a quiet side street in the centre of Ludlow.

Cottage is right in the centre of Ludlow so great for sightseeing. Although right by a road the traffic did not disturb us. There is plenty of room with a large kitchen where we easily cooked some simple suppers.

A lovely house, perfectly situated in the heart of historic Ludlow. It is beautifully decorated and very well equipped for a long or short stay. The beds and furniture are very comfortable.

Well-equipped and comfortable cottage in the heart of Ludlow. The secure walled courtyard garden was excellent for our escape-artist dog. Although Ludlow is busy in summer we had no real issues finding parking space on the adjoining road where permit set up. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful cottage in a prime position in beautiful Ludlow. The owners have really gone the extra mile to create a comfortable attractive home. You have everything you need and beds are very comfortable. Sound proofing is excellent - there were music events on at the castle but we weren't disturbed by noise.

The Manse Cottage was perfect for our stay in Ludlow. Close to the centre, but quiet and private. Very well equipped, and comfortable. Felt live a gone from home. We will certainly be returning to explore more of the area and try more of the cafes and restaurants. Linda was very welcoming and helpful.
