Rent a comfortable holiday home in Ludlow
Self-catered holidays are brilliant for those wanting to discover an entirely new place but still have home comforts. You can rent a large house for the whole family in Ludlow or in the heart of a charming Shropshire village with plenty to see and do, or you might opt for a little cottage nestled within a forest, which has its own private hot tub. These accommodations are perfect for a getaway with friends and family where you can spend some quality time together in the evenings in the living room of your holiday home or cook a big meal together to enjoy at the dining table. Whatever kind of accommodation you opt for, choosing the location can be difficult, but visiting the county of Shropshire, then the colourful market town of Ludlow might be the destination for you.
About holidays in Ludlow
Ludlow is a charming market town on the southern tip of Shropshire and is a delightful place in which to reside on a self-catered break.

The town is also set in a picturesque location, with the rivers Teme and Corve meeting here, which are lovely to stroll along in the afternoon, soaking up the atmosphere of this pleasant community. There are also plenty of areas in the surrounding countryside, forests and farmland, where you and your loved ones can enjoy walks, cycling or horse riding.
