Located on the banks of the Teme River in the midst of the breathtaking Welsh Marches is the historic market town of Ludlow.

The castle is now open year-round, and it plays host to a wide variety of events, such as festivals celebrating food, art, literature, and more. Located directly on the riverbank, below the castle, Millenium Green features a large public green and weir as well as high-quality indoor and outdoor dining options at the Green Cafe. The town of Ludlow has been hosting street markets since the 12th century. A weekly outdoor market is held in the town square on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays all year round. The 'Local to Ludlow' produce market on some Thursdays and an Antique & Flea market on some Sundays feature more than forty stalls selling a variety of goods, such as fresh produce, cheeses, books, and a selection of local crafts. In addition to being a shopper's and foodie's paradise, Ludlow also features an abundance of delicious restaurants. There are numerous restaurants and bars in town, as well as several high-end boutiques selling clothing and unique gifts.

The location is perfect and the parking is an added bonus. The house itself is beautiful. So many great features and the fire in the lounge is amazing! Loved the little touches like fresh flowers and the milk, thank you. Would recommend to anyone and weâre hoping to book again soon!

It was very well placed for the centre of Ludlow with all its restaurants and markets, yet in a quiet enough area not to be disturbed at night. The many walks available from the front door are an excellent bonus and we only needed to use the car once during our week stay. Good train service from Ludlow station (we used it to visit Shrewsbury - fascinating historic town). As a group of (very old!) friends, we rent holiday houses regularly in order to meet up and catch up and we all agree that this has been one of the best!
