About this property
Ludlow 6 miles. This wooden-clad lodge is set in a secluded location on the edge of the Shropshire Hills in the village of Bedlam, close to the historic town of Ludlow. Enjoying panoramic views over the Shropshire Hills and towards Worcester, Hillside Lodge is a well-equipped accommodation for families wanting to break away from everyday routines and relax within this idyllic part of the country. Impressive on the inside and out, internally the lodge has been tastefully renovated with laminate flooring and a number of comfortable furnishings, whilst outside there is a superb outdoor area where you can curl up beside the woodburning stove or enjoy a dip in the hot tub all while admiring those breath-taking views. The open plan living area is where everyone can gather to prepare a hearty feast from the well-equipped kitchen before enjoying a family film upon the sofa. Heading to bed you have two beautifully furnished bedrooms to choose from, one of which benefits from patio doors leading to the garden and offering those same views, which would be a real treat to wake up to! Why not make use of the undercover kitchen area with BBQ and serve a delicious selection of grilled goods? If you can bear to tear yourself away from this delightful dwelling then a trip to Ludlow is recommended, home to a magnificent 13th century castle, plus a great selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and its famous festivals throughout the year. Travel further afield to the impressive locations of Hereford and Shrewsbury, places with great history and interest to make your trip just that extra special. An exceptional holiday lodge to spend with your loved ones.
Ludlow is an ancient town with Georgian houses ascending from the river Teme to the great tower of the cross-shaped church. Standing proudly over the town is Ludlow Castle; witness to many a battle over the centuries but none so gripping as the title of ‘Festival Loaf’ at Ludlow Food Festival. Ludlow is known for its shopping, with a great selection of antique, arts and crafts shops and some retailers. There is also a good choice of eateries including a number of restaurants, pubs and tea rooms.

The view from the Lodge, looking over Ludlow is spectacular with the sun setting over the opposite hills There are plenty of walks right on the door step, that our younger dog enjoyed, and the enclosed garden gave great freedom for both of our dogs. Big thank you to the owner Marie, we will be returning.

It was amazing! Marie had made sure everything was ok for us, any problems she was there (not that we had any). Everywhere was so clean and well presented. The hot tub was a big hit for us and the kids. Our dog loved just lieing on the grass taking in the air. We also got to watch the barn swallows which were amazing, flying in and out their nest! What a fantastic lodge it was! Thank you! X
