Nestled in the heart of Ludlow, a market town in Shropshire is The Ferns, a delightful, detached three-bedroom cottage. Sympathetically restored, maintaining some of its original features, The Ferns is a homely base for a family break, well-positioned near a hub of amenities, attractions, and the Shropshire Hills AONB; five guests are welcome. Park up on the private driveway or make use of the garage, before stepping indoors to the inviting hallway. Be welcomed into the contemporary kitchen/diner, complete with state-of-the-art appliances and a breakfast bar to ease your self-catered stay. Prepare meals before gathering in the dining room, oozing a traditional feel with a feature fireplace, seating for four, and antique furniture. If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, the rear garden is both private and enclosed, making it the ideal spot to dine, unwind and socialise, before returning indoors to the sitting room, where you can relax in front of the woodburning stove, with the Smart TV for entertainment. As the night unfolds, climb up the wooden staircase and reach three well-appointed bedrooms, including two doubles and a single; all are serviced by a spacious family bathroom. Awaken to a refreshing shower ahead of a day of exploration, firstly touring Ludlow, its independent shops, convenience stores, and delicious eateries, a haven for foodies; The French Pantry, Bistro 7, and Parkway Tasca Bar are all popular choices. Once you're refuelled, take a tour of Ludlow Castle and its medieval ruins, hike through Whitcliffe Common Nature Reserve, and enjoy riverside vistas alongside River Teme, before heading north, with the chance to trek through Rectory Wood, Carding Mill Valley, and the moorlands of the Long Mynd. The bustling city of Hereford is worth a visit, where you can purchase some local produce at the Museum of Cider, discover the stunning exterior of Hereford Cathedral, or even attend a race day at Ludlow Racecourse. Round off your travels in Shrewsbury, brimming with attractions, including the Shrewsbury Prison, Shrewsbury Castle, the Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery, and pretty gardens of The Dingle, before following the Shropshire Way walking trail for further countryside scenes. Enjoy a memorable stay at The Ferns.
