This delightful second-floor apartment sits high within the historic walls of Ludlow Castle, offering couples or friends a one-of-a-kind stay – think original beams, low ceilings and a quirky layout tucked up among the eaves. It’s an unbeatable location, right in the heart of Ludlow on the Herefordshire/Shropshire/Wales border and surrounded by natural beauty. The castle itself plays host to events throughout the year and features an on-site café, restaurant and gift shop for you to visit. The local market is 300 metres away, and you can take early-bird walks along the River Teme for which runs alongside the castle. Keen walkers can hop on the 30-mile Mortimer Trail (2 miles) from Ludlow to Kington, or venture 10 miles north to the Shropshire Hills Natural Landscape for a 6.5-mile round hike up to Flounders’ Folly.
On arrival, climb the internal stairs to reach this bright and spacious second-floor apartment. You’ll be greeted by light-filled contemporary interiors and a welcoming layout, all spread across an impressively large footprint. Enter into the stylish dining room which leads to the the master bedroom offering a peaceful retreat with its own en-suite shower room tucked into the eaves, featuring a walk-in shower (please note, the door frame is low). Through the hallway is the family bathroom with hand held shower, the twin room and the handy utility area accompanying the charming farmhouse-inspired kitchen. Further on is the lounge area with a sofa and Smart TV for quiet evenings in.
When it’s time for a dose of fresh air, head out through the lounge patio doors to the rooftop terrace for sweeping views across the Shropshire countryside and the beautifully kept castle gardens below (access to the grounds is available during opening hours). This space is perfect for morning coffees at the bistro table. The property also has parking for one car.
