Bell Cottage is a period town cottage in the very centre of Ludlow, less than two minutes walk from all the shops, pubs, restaurants and Ludlow Castle. Set over two floors and with a beautiful secluded garden, the cottage has been tastefully refurbished, yet is still packed with period features. A perfect base for staying in Britain's loveliest old market town. The accommodation provides 2 bedrooms, one with a king sized bed and one with a double bed and attached dressing room. Lounge with log burner and leather furniture, SMART TV, free WI-FI, DAB radios in kitchen and bedrooms.. Well equipped kitchen with full range of appliances and a dresser, pantry and farmhouse table and chairs. Contemporary ground floor shower room. Secluded enclosed walled garden safe for pets, which is south facing and gets the sun all day. Gas central heating throughout complimented by real log burner, initial stock of logs supplied. Bed linen and towels included. Pets welcome free of charge (maximum of 2). Sorry no smoking allowed in the property. On street free parking is available 30 - 100 metres from the cottage, or anywhere in the red zone parking area. You need to provide me with your car registration and I will include your car on the cottage parking permit. You won't need to display anything in the car as it's all done electronically.

The cottage is set over two floors and has two large bedrooms, one with a king sized bed and one with a double bed. There is also a dressing room with a dressing table, large wardrobe and chest of draws. The comfortable sitting room leads to a well-equipped kitchen which has a farmhouse table for dining. This leads to a walled garden which has a seating area for relaxing. The garden is south facing and is quite a sun trap as it gets the sun most of the day. We have enjoyed many summer days relaxing out with a drink or having something to eat. It is laid with gravel with plant containers and beds with shrubs and is very pet-friendly. Sitting in the walled garden enjoying a drink, it's easy to forget that all the shops, markets and restaurants of Ludlow are less than two minutes walk away. It would be hard to find a more convenient spot.

Ludlow is a beautiful market town, perched on a hill with the River Teme curling around the foot of the hill and an ancient Norman castle at the very centre. The town is full of history but also full of life - there's always something going on, either events at the Castle or regular markets/fairs in the town centre. It lies in one of the most unspoilt and tranquil stretches of the British countryside; the Welsh Marches. It provides a great location to explore the Shropshire Hills and to visit the historic towns and villages of Shropshire, Herefordshire and the Welsh borders. There are many local countryside walks such as on the Whitcliff, along the River Teme and in Mortimer Forest, which is also excellent for hiking and biking. Ludlow has many events occurring all year, in particular the renowned Food Festival held every September, a Summer Arts Festival and the Christmas Medieval Fair. Weekly markets are held every day except Tuesday and antique fairs take place regularly. It is also famous for the wide choice of high quality specialty food shops and eating places from bistros to restaurants serving local produce such as meat, cheese, pies, chocolates and beers. Ludlow has its own brewery and is well served by good pubs serving cask ales. Further afield, Berrington Hall and grounds which is a National Trust property is well worth a visit.

    Bell Cottage is a lovely property located close to the centre of Ludlow and all that the town has to offer. It has been tastefully modernised whilst sympathetic to the period in which it was built. It is warm, comfortable and well equipped. There is ample parking just around the corner and the host is helpful and responsive.

    The location is superb, very near the market and town centre but still quiet. The beds are very comfortable with plenty of storage space for clothes. The kitchen is very well equipped for self catering. Excellent bathroom with superb shower. There is a lovely little back garden with table and seating for alfresco dining and there is an efficient and easy to use heating system with a wood burning g stove, which we did not have to use this time.The property is clean and tidy throughout. Overall a pleasant happy stay and we will definitely be returning.

    We loved our stay in Ludlow and your home was the perfect spot for the three of us. Its location made it possible to walk all over Ludlow and the castle is 5 minutes away. The parking permit made it easy to park in designated spots close to the home.

    Cottage was in a great place just a couple of hundred yards from town centre. Car parking was very good which was a few yards from cottage but always hot a space okay. Cottage itself was clean and tidy, very comfortable bed. Had everything you needed. The only thing was garden getting a little overgrown but a nice little garden on the whole. Yes very enjoyable.

    Once we got to grips with the traffic flow on arrival and parked up everything else was on foot which made a pleasant change from what we’re used to. Our 3 night stay was spent walking and visiting pretty much every shop looking for bargains and stopping occasionally for coffee and cake . Each evening we had multiple choices for pub meals all of which were great. Our host was very helpful and we wanted for nothing and the accommodation at Rose cottage was sublime Great fun for us and our dog

    Had a Lovely 3 night stay with our 2 dogs. The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything one needs. Location is perfect for all the town has to offer including a great market, lots of pubs, bars and cafes together with the Assembly Rooms where we caught the matinee performance of the panto which we really enjoyed. This is our second visit to Bell Cottage and I'm certain it won't be our last.
