The Barracks - Cottage

Located on the Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire borders, this picture-perfect, Grade II-listed holiday home nestles within the grounds of the owners’ home and is surrounded by other charming, Grade II-listed properties. The homely retreat is perfect for outdoor-loving couples or small families, who are invited to bring their four-legged friend with them. Explore the impressive Ludlow Castle (4.5 miles) where you can discover its ancient walls, enjoy the panoramic views of the town, and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of this Norman stronghold. Visit the bustling Ludlow Market and browse a variety of stalls offering fresh and local produce, artisanal goods, and unique crafts. Golfers can enjoy a round at Ludlow Golf Course, 7.5 miles from home. For nature enthusiasts, Mortimer Forest (4 miles) offers scenic trails perfect for dog walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. History aficionados will appreciate the National Trust’s Berrington Hall (3.5 miles), an elegant Georgian mansion set in beautiful gardens.
Inside, your holiday home is light and airy, bursting with country-cottage character. Step into the entrance lobby, where a staircase leads to the upper floor. On the ground level, you'll find a cosy lounge complete with a Smart TV and a crackling wood burner, perfect for relaxing evenings with loved ones while the dog snoozes at your feet. Adjacent is a well-equipped kitchen/diner with a dining table for sit-down meals and a breakfast bar on which to grab a quick bite. A convenient utility area completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two bright and breezy, dual-aspect bedrooms await, finished in neutral tones for a good night’s sleep in this quiet, rural setting. The master bedroom boasts a double bed, while the other offers a king-size bed which can be converted into two small singles on request. A contemporary family bathroom completes the interior of this home away from home, while guests can enjoy the convenience of private, off-road parking for two cars.
