Cottage to rent with a hot tub in Ludlow, Shropshire

Accommodation details

This elegant and sophisticated 16th-century, Grade II-listed townhouse with a wood-fired hot tub, set on the finest street in Ludlow, is the ideal setting for that long-awaited get-together with family or friends; an escape to the natural beauty of Shropshire's countryside awaits. In keeping with the townhouse's rich history, the wonderfully serene lounge, with its panelled walls and roaring open fire, boasts a truly peaceful atmosphere that invites weary travellers to unwind.

The high ceiling and beautiful Velux windows create a sense of space in the kitchen/diner, whilst the period décor will transport you to centuries past. Stylish and sophisticated, the formal dining room sets the scene for pure relaxation whilst the second lounge upstairs, with its open fire and billiards table, is as vibrant as it is ambient.

Across the ground and first floor, you'll find three en-suite king-size and three king-size bedrooms; ornamental fireplaces and rustic touches will lull you into a peaceful slumber. Outside, dine alfresco on the patio amongst the mature planting in the wonderful, enclosed garden before slipping into the warmth of a wood-fired hot tub.
