Brimming with charm and character, this Grade II-listed cottage, nestled at the heart of the historic town of Ludlow, is the ultimate escape for couples or small families keen to uncover the local heritage, ancient woodlands, riverbanks and hillsides of Shropshire’s breathtaking countryside.

Where contemporary charm and period touches coexist in perfect harmony, the kitchen/diner will inspire you to get creative with your local produce whilst the generous dining room, bathed in sunlight from the large picture window, is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled with loved ones. On the first floor, you’ll find the characterful lounge; exposed ceiling beams and sumptuous soft furnishings create a truly warming atmosphere that invites weary walking muscles to unwind at the end of a busy day of exploring. The second floor comprises two bedrooms, one double with exposed beams and views towards Clee Hill in the distance, and one twin with exposed beams and charming rooftop views. A well-appointed bathroom completes the interior. Outside, soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco amongst the pretty borders in the quaint, enclosed courtyard.

Ludlow, a thriving market town and architectural gem, is situated above the River Teme and surrounded by the countryside of South Shropshire. Keen outdoor explorers can find a myriad of walking and cycling trails weaving through the Shropshire Hills, and the magnificent Mortimer Forest 3 miles away. Renowned for its local antique shops and Folk Museum, the vibrant market town of Leominster (11.5 miles) across the border in Herefordshire is the perfect spot for culture vultures to dive into the local area's heritage. The National Trust gardens at Berrington Hall and Croft Ambrey Hillfort can be reached 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

Lovely cottage and location. Only problem is parking is an issue if events are taking place in town or at the castle.
