The cottage is within distance of many places of interest. For those who want to hike, there are nearby footpaths in the hills. Ludlow is a lovely town that has shops that are perfect for a self catering holiday. The cottage has furnishings.that are apt for a cottage of that age . The kitchen is modern and fully equipped with literature about how to use the appliances.
